A new adventure is on the menu . . .

Juliet has learnt that life is too short not to chase your dreams. But when she buys an old watermill in France, her tranquil new start is quickly kneaded into something far more ambitious when the local mayor offers her a deal she can’t refuse: reopen the village’s derelict boulangerie.

With a formidable rival – the owner of the local bread vending machine – determined to crush her, Juliet faces disgruntled villagers, her own lack of baking skills, and hidden secrets within the mill itself.

But with help from her outspoken neighbour and the charming Tabac owner, Juliet battles to bring back the aroma of freshly baked bread – and with it, the heart of the community.

Can she prove that even the biggest dreams start with just a little pinch of courage?

My Thoughts:

When Juliet’s life does not go to plan she decides to step out of her comfort zone and go and chase her dreams. She has always wanted to run her own bakery and moving to France and buying an old watermill is just what the doctor ordered. But she soon realises there is more to renovating and even staying in France but she is a determined woman even if the locals are not happy she is there, they don’t like an outsider coming in and trying to change the norm. But gradually Juliet finds people to help her but can she make a success of the bakery or will she leave with her tail between her legs? It was another great read from Jo which I flew through as I just loved reading it. Jo is one of my comfort go to authors. I cannot get enough of her satisfying writing and delicious sounding food. Don’t read this book on an empty stomach as you will regret it. My mouth was watering reading the description of the baguettes. Yum. This is going to be very popular when it comes out.

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