Publisher's summary

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!

Cute for the holidays

Corny and predictable, but cute. A few slow spots, but I found myself wanting to know the ending.

Quaint

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

Good story line, just a little long

Unique realistic story line normalizes mental health issues and love found closer to middle age. Special!
