Log Fires and Toffee Apple Cake at the Little Duck Pond Cafe by Rosie Green


 Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for this brilliant new instalment to the 'Little Duck Pond Cafe' series from 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 this honest and unbiased review. 



Book Description
Get set for a wonderful celebration of autumn with all your favourite characters at the Little Duck Pond Cafe!
An autumn fair is coming to Sunnybrook, much to the delight of the villagers. But for Madison, whose personal life seems to be spinning out of control, a roller-coaster is the last thing she needs – especially when it’s her emotions at stake.
Can she convince the delectable Jack that their relationship is worth another shot? Or has their romance ground to a permanent halt like a faulty big wheel? Will she solve the mystery of the missing name on her birth certificate? Or will her discoveries take her on a journey even bumpier than the dodgem cars? One thing’s for sure. Madison is going to need more than a fairground fortune teller to find the answers to her questions, if she’s going to ‘waltz-er’ into the happiest of sunsets…



My Review
This is the latest instalment in the series, and is the perfect autumn read. 
Autumn has arrived in Sunnybrook and the girls from the Little Duck Pond Cafe are looking forward to some cooler weather after having had a heatwave. Especially Jaz who is now nearly 9 months pregnant. They are also excited because it will soon be time for the autumn fair to arrive in Sunnybrook. 
Maddy recently found out some news that has shocked her. She found out that her fathers name is not on her birth certificate and now she is unsure of hw to talk to her parents about this. Maddy also wants to find out who her father is and why he hasn't been in her life. 
Maddy decides to try and find him and it doesn't take her long to find him. Maddy is excited to meet him and begin to build a relationship with him. This is the perfect distraction for Maddy as she is still upset over the break up of her relationship with Jack. 
Maddy really likes Jack but was so worried she was going to get hurt by him that she pushed him away when she really just wanted to be with him. Now the two of them are apart and this is making Maddy sad. 
Soon Maddy begins to see Jack in more and more places she visits and realises she still has feelings for him and is desperate to rebuild what they had. But will he feel the same. 
Life for Maddy is complicated will meeting her biological father help her understand things from her childhood and will it be everything that she thought it would be. Will Maddy be able to show Jack just how much he means to her. 
with the nights drawing in, a chill in the air and fires being lit now could be the perfect time for some romance but will it all be a happy ending. 
This is such a cosy and heartwarming read set in the autumn that will really lift your heart. This instalment in the series revolves around the life of Maddy and all that she has going on. You see her trying to rebuild her life with Jack and also start a new relationship with her biological father. 
You do see also all of the other characters we have grown to love over the series and see what is happening in their lives too. Especially Jaz who is who could go into labour at any time. 
This book is the perfect story for some autumn reading. You can almost smell the scents of autumn coming off the pages.
I loved this addition to the series and I am already looking forward to what the next instalment has in store for us.

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, ‘Lucy’s Great Escape', is out now.

Rosie will be revisiting the Little Duck Pond Café with a beautiful story of love and friendship at Christmas time, entitled A Kiss in the Snow, out in October 2020.
