Baking fanatic, Charlie Quilter, is surprised when her late uncle bequeaths his vintage bus to her in his will. Charlie thinks it will be the perfect mobile café for afternoon tea, and when her friend, Juliette, suggests Charlie comes to stay with her in the picturesque Cornish village of Porthgolow, she’s thrilled at the chance of a new start. Charlie and her cute dog, Marmite, make new friends wherever their bus stops – except for the attractive but reclusive owner of the posh spa up on the hill, Daniel Harper, who isn’t very pleased that her bus is parked outside his lovely hotel.
Has Charlie’s Cornish dream developed a soggy bottom? Or can she convince Daniel that her bus could be the start of something wonderful for the little village – and for them?”
As soon as I started reading this, I loved it and felt like Charlie was my best friend and now I’m jealous and I’m now wanting a dog like Marmite! I also wish I had a bus and a baking skill to go together.
Now, onto my main review. So, I got to read this book via net galley three weeks in advance! When I started reading this, my first thought was I wished I had a double decker bus as I would have some great business ideas for it. Anyway, lets return back to Charlie who is grieiving for her uncle, trying to do the bus up and work too many shifts at her local cafe. Charlie then realsies she can combine all three things. Turn her uncles bus (which he used to do tour guides on) into a cafe on the bus and could even drive customers around whilst having afternoon teas! (sounds like my idea of heaven). After a few mishaps at home, Charlie finally gets persaded by Juliette to go stay with her for a few weeks in lovely Cornwall.
But, whats life without a little bit of drama. When Charlie arrives in Porthglow she is not welcomed with open arms. espically by Daniel who just happenes to be the owner of the luxury hotel where Charlie has parked up Gertie whilst she staying in the village. As soon as they met, they’re sure they can be the better one at getting tourists and Daniel is sure people want healthy and luxury food whereas Charlie says stodgy home comfort is the best. (Which one do you agree with btw, I’m with Charlie on this one!) I’m sure later down the line, there will be a romance brewing up between Charlie and Daniel. Who else agrees? And I hope both of the businesses are a success.
I can’t wait for the second part in the series: The Eclair Affair. However for a now. Preorder the first one on amazon, it comes out the 13th June! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07HVJB48Y?pf_rd_p=330fbd82-d4fe-42e5-9c16-d4b886747c64&pf_rd_r=X5HQESSQQQR8YYGEYAMR
