My review:

I read this charming novel while  on holiday in Portugal.  More about my trip here: https://mjmallon.com/2016/09/11/portugal-missing-you/

The Cosy Teashop in The Castle is the perfect read to take away with you for a relaxing break. A light-hearted story set in Northumberland about a young women’s dream to run her own tea shop. Being a big fan of cakes, baking, tearooms, and castles, this really appealed to me. By the way there is the added bonus of a lovely cake recipe at the back of the book : Ellie’s grandmother – Choffee cake. Sounds delicious! There is also a very satisfactory dollop of romance that never goes amiss on a summer read! The only aspect of the novel that surprised me was just how steamy the romance sections were. Boy were they hot, just about as sweltering as the Portugal sun. So do bear that in mind! Obviously all that floury cake baking, combined with the chemistry between Ellie and the manager of the tearoom, Joe, really enabled the spark to light Ellie’s broken-hearted fuse. Phew….Yes, Ellie hasn’t had the best of times as far as men are concerned, making her a bit cautious, and Joe has his reasons to be a bit distant too. But the fuse well and truly does get lit, believe me!

My recommendation –  Read and find out more! 

My rating: 4 stars.

  1. I was actually drawn to the recommendation on the front. I met Cathy a couple of years ago, and she very kindly gave me a lot of her time and encouragement. If you like your romance with a sense of humour, I can recommend her books

  2. Marge, lovely review and perfect for a holiday read! Even the cover is sooo cosy but good you give a heads-up about the steamy romance – I had to laugh at your ‘just about as sweltering as the Portugal sun’! That’s hot!!😀

  3. Sounds like a great read. I never miss a tearoom when visiting castles and historic houses. They always have some special pastry – something to remember 🙂
