Lemon Drizzle Mondays at the Little Duck Pond Cafe by Rosie Green



Today is my turn on the Blog Tour for this latest instalment in the heartwarming and uplifting Little Duck Pond Cafe series from the talented Rosie Green.  Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to join the tour and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 




Book Description
Molly Hooper has a secret. It haunts her dreams and casts a dark shadow over life with her gorgeous three-year-old daughter, Eva. Arriving in Sunnybrook has given her a glimpse of sunshine. The Little Duck Pond Cafe crew seem so welcoming and there's even the chance of a new job. Baking delicious cakes has always taken Molly to a happy place, so the job - at the glorious Brambleberry Manor Cafe - might just be perfect for her. It would mean she and little Eva could finally put down some roots at last. But is Sunnybrook the sanctuary Molly is searching for? Or will the past come back to haunt her, wherever she hides?



My Review
I am a huge fan of the Little Duck Pond Cafe series and I could not wait to get started on this latest instalment. 
Molly is excited to be starting a new job at Brambleberry Manor Cafe. She recently moved to Sunnybrook with her daughter Eva looking for fresh start for them both. Things have not been good for Molly in the past and money has been in short supply for her for a while. Her dream is to find a perfect new home for herself and Molly which is why when she was offered the opportunity of the job from one of her new friends in Sunnybrook she grabbed it. 
Molly met her new friends after she began to visit the Little Duck Pond cafe. Molly was reluctant to let them into her life but they have all become firm friends now. 
There is still one secret the Molly will not share with them. One that haunts her everyday and one she feels she will never escape from, this is why she needs the money from the new job. 
Molly loves her new job and is soon making friends with her new colleagues, they are a mixed bunch but are all determined to save the Brambleberry Manor cafe when it becomes apparent that they could all be losing their jobs. 
Molly comes up with the idea of a pledge  kindness in exchange for a slice of lemon drizzle cake. It is a bight a starts to bring more and more customers to the cafe. 
Molly loves how her new life is planning out for herself and Eva but when her past comes back to haunt her will she be strong enough to fight for what she wants?
I loved this book from beginning to end and could not put it down. This book focuses on the lives of Molly and her daughter Eva. They have recently moved to Sunnybrook and have already made good friends. When you find out about the hardship that Molly has had in the past you do understand her reluctance to let people into her life and to accept any help. 
With all the residents we know and love from Sunnybrook this is a great instalment to the series, and I am already looking forward to what could be coming next for them all.

About the Author

Rosie has been scribbling stories ever since she was little.


Back then, they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by 'the baddies'.

Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile, with really not much perilous danger involved at all - unless you count the heroine losing her heart in love.

Rosie's series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe. The latest, ‘A Winter Wedding at the Little Duck Pond Cafe', is out now.

Rosie has also written a full-length, standalone book, 'Snowflakes over Moondance Cottage', out now.
