About this listen

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 little read, if your looking for something relaxing over the Christmas period this would be it

Easy Christmas read

This was a cute love story, filled with deeper topics, which bring a full character to life. I enjoyed this.

Cute, with deeper content

Short. No real character development. Like the previous 4 books much more. Hopefully number 5 is great again

Short and not to usual standard of willoughby close books.

Story itself is ok, fairly predictable, but ok. The narration is awful. I’ve never met a British person who speaks like they apparently do in this book, certainly not someone who is supposed to have been brought up in Middlesbrough.

Appalling accents

Sadly I had to give up on this one, I couldn’t listen to the one tone narration.
Felt no emotion or feeling in the narration.

Narration spoil, couldn’t complete the book.

Sweet, cozy Christmas book.. but the narration, for me, totally spoiled it.
The intonation- what sounded like an American accent reading a book set in rural England- wrong on many levels.

Cozy Christmas book but the narration

Ok easy if not boring story, shame about the casual fat shaming and low self esteem.

Ok easy story, shame about the casual fat shaming

I’m still not sure about having an American narrator for a book set in the Cotswolds with a supposedly British lead character. Like a lot of books nowadays the beginning and middle of the story are drawn out and then the ending is over in one chapter. Not a demanding listen but good to have on while I’m at work.

I felt a bit cheated by only 4 hours of this book, no where near as much character involvement as previous books, not much of a story line but seemed to jump straight to the conclusion & epilogue.

Short and sort of sweet

A sweet Christmas tale - sometimes found myself getting frustrated at what felt like procrastination but that was the story I guess. Light hearted Christmas romance and passed a few hours.

Fun Christmas cheese!
