Always the baker, never the bride....

Olivia James has always been happy running a tea shop and bakery in the Cotswold village of Wychwood-on-Lea and helping her friends find their happily-ever-afters, topped by the perfect wedding cake. But as Christmas approaches, Olivia is home alone and questioning her choices while eating too many of her own specialty confections.

When Simon Blacklock, a handsome, whimsical stranger, breezes into her shop and buys a cupcake and then returns the next day and the day after, Olivia begins to dream. Can romance blossom amid the sugar and flour? And after a lifetime of living on the sidelines, is she brave enough to star in her own story?

Simon may be hiding a painful secret, but Olivia harbors secrets of her own. If they can dare to risk their hearts, this Christmas might be the most magical yet!

Such a good story…and so much of it can be relatable. Very heartfelt and will get you in your feels.

All the feels

The book was fine, a little too much fluff in the beginning and straight to the point depressing at the end. This is probably more the marketing's fault than the authors. It is wrapped up like a Hallmark style lighthearted Christmas yarn, but 3/4 of the way through takes a sharp left into Alzheimer's and depression. The happy ending doesn't feel so happy.

Not a fun Christmas story

It was as cheesy as I thought it would be. A nice story to listen to while preparing for the holidays.

Charming Christmas novella of finding an unexpected love during the Christmas season.

Olivia James has taken over her mother’s Tea & Bakery shop two years ago, at the age of 37, and has found an unexpected love with Simon, music teacher, while they’re both going through emotional turmoil in their own lives.

Narrator did a nice job with the voices
