Facing down a shirtless Miles Appleton – best friend to her brother-in-law – Betty is reminded both of everything she dislikes about the talented pastry chef, and how annoyingly gorgeous he is. Boathouse Cottage was meant to be a sanctuary for Betty and her beloved rescue Shetland Pony, Pumpkin, but it seems Fate isn’t done messing with her just yet…

Now, as her sister’s marriage implodes and the family cottage in St Aiden becomes a bargaining chip that needs to be protected, Betty and Miles go head to head. Miles’s baking experiments may have produced the best thing Betty’s ever tasted – but she can’t afford to be swayed by his delicious croissant campaign.

Or can she? Because as Betty soon realises, there might be more to gain from aligning with the talented baker than fighting against the temptation he and his pastries pose…

My Thoughts:

I love a book that has the words cosy and Croissant in the title. You know it is going to be good. When Betty and her pony Pumpkin turn up at Boathouse cottage, they are both looking for some r & r. But someone else has other plans, it is a blast from the past for Betty a man she has not seen for a while. she does not know how she will cope. Lots of things going on in this delightful tale. Great characters and lots of yummy sounding pastries, which made my mouth water. I liked how the story was an easy read and I liked seeing what the outcome would be between Betty and Miles. There are some parts that made me laugh, and I love the addition of Pumpkin the pony which really made me smile. A lovely read.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
