Summary
Always the baker, never the bride....
Olivia James has always been happy running a tea shop and bakery in the Cotswold village of Wychwood-on-Lea and helping her friends find their happily-ever-afters, topped by the perfect wedding cake. But as Christmas approaches, Olivia is home alone and questioning her choices while eating too many of her own specialty confections.
When Simon Blacklock, a handsome, whimsical stranger, breezes into her shop and buys a cupcake and then returns the next day and the day after, Olivia begins to dream. Can romance blossom amid the sugar and flour? And after a lifetime of living on the sidelines, is she brave enough to star in her own story?
Simon may be hiding a painful secret, but Olivia harbors secrets of her own. If they can dare to risk their hearts, this Christmas might be the most magical yet!

Not impressed with the narrator
The storyline was mediocre. A romance story with no twists. The narrator could be annoying with the different vices they used.

Short and sort of sweet
I felt a bit cheated by only 4 hours of this book, no where near as much character involvement as previous books, not much of a story line but seemed to jump straight to the conclusion & epilogue.

Fun Christmas cheese!
A sweet Christmas tale - sometimes found myself getting frustrated at what felt like procrastination but that was the story I guess. Light hearted Christmas romance and passed a few hours.

Cozy Christmas book but the narration
Sweet, cozy Christmas book.. but the narration, for me, totally spoiled it.
The intonation- what sounded like an American accent reading a book set in rural England- wrong on many levels.

Ok easy story, shame about the casual fat shaming
Ok easy if not boring story, shame about the casual fat shaming and low self esteem.

Easy listen
I’m still not sure about having an American narrator for a book set in the Cotswolds with a supposedly British lead character. Like a lot of books nowadays the beginning and middle of the story are drawn out and then the ending is over in one chapter. Not a demanding listen but good to have on while I’m at work.

Short and not to usual standard of willoughby close books.
Short. No real character development. Like the previous 4 books much more. Hopefully number 5 is great again

Appalling accents
Story itself is ok, fairly predictable, but ok. The narration is awful. I’ve never met a British person who speaks like they apparently do in this book, certainly not someone who is supposed to have been brought up in Middlesbrough.

Narration spoil, couldn’t complete the book.
Sadly I had to give up on this one, I couldn’t listen to the one tone narration.
Felt no emotion or feeling in the narration.
