Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for this next instalment from the Little Duck Pond Cafe series by 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
The Little Duck Pond Cafe girls are looking forward to a well-earned break in the Cornish seaside town of Pengully Sands, where Sylvia’s sister, Aggie, owns a holiday home. With the glorious golden sands, sparkling azure sea and an ice-cream parlour only yards away, it seems like the perfect location to relax and watch the surfers riding the waves (and maybe even have a go themselves). But when they arrive, the girls find it’s not quite the seaside idyll they were expecting. The house is less ‘holiday home’ and more ‘creepy, dilapidated haunted house.’ Gracie, who runs the ice-cream parlour, has problems of her own and the last thing she needs is a bunch of high-spirited girls arriving to disturb the peace and isolation she craves. And when a handsome stranger looks set to destroy her livelihood, it seems like the last straw. Will Gracie get her happy ending - and maybe even make friends with the girls next-door? This wasn’t the relaxing break the Little Duck Pond Cafe girls were expecting, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the holiday of a lifetime!
My Review
The girls from The Little Duck Pond Cafe are getting away for a month on a nice relaxing girls holiday. They are heading to Pengully Sands in Cornwall. They have been given the opportunity of a break by the seaside by Sylvia, her sister Aggie owns the cottage and the girls cannot wait to get away and relax.
What they were not expecting was just how run down the cottage is. Sylvia is there to meet them and is really apologetic with the state of the cottage.
It is over breakfast the next morning that an idea forms between them all and the decision is made between the girls and Aggie that they will still stay at the cottage for the month as planned and give it a total refurbishment including all the repairs. Once the repairs are all complete the girls will all have the use of the cottage in the future.
Gracie is taking over the Ice cream parlour along the beautiful beach in Pengully Sands. She loves the peace and isolation of the area and is not happy to have that disturbed by the new visitors. She already has enough issues to be dealing with without them disturbing her.
The problems that Gracie is having only get worse with the arrival of Dan, another visitor to Pengully Sands who is keen to purchase the Ice cream parlour, this holds so many memories for Gracie and she is not willing to give them up.
What follows is the month of renovations, secrets and mysteries as the girls spend the month making the most of their trip to Cornwall.
Gracie also finds out some very exciting news that could change everything for her.
This it is fair to say that this will be a month of adventures that none of them will forget.
This book was so much fun to read and I loved meeting up with the Little Duck Pond Cafe girls again. It was great to see them all together and just having fun together on their Cornish break.
You also meet Gracie who is having issues dealing with all that has happened in her life. As you read the book you do get a great insight into her life and why she is struggling so much to move on.
You also start to get to know Lucy, I believe the next book will feature more of her story.
The setting of Pengully Sands sounds just beautiful and the perfect place to escape real life and just relax and recharge.
I also loved the mysteries surround the cottages give this book a great twist too.
This is a great addition to the Little Duck Pond Cafe series and the perfect read to take your mind off life.
I cannot wait to see what is next in store for the girls.

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.
Her series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe. The latest, ‘Lemon Drizzle Mondays at the Little Duck Pond Cafe', is out now.
Rosie is currently writing a full-length book, ‘Lucy’s Great Cornish Escape’, which – in a fun twist – will feature favourite characters from the Little Duck Pond Café series.
