The Cosy Castle on the Loch: Summer
Alice Ross
Rating: 5 stars
Amazon UK £0.99
Helen Sutherland can hardly believe her luck. Not only is she the proud manager of the gorgeous new tearoom at the magical Glenduff Castle, but her new venture means she can indulge her passion for baking - every day.
But not everything in Helen's life is running so smoothly. After years of supporting husband, Gordon, in his business endeavours, he doesn't appear to be remotely interested in hers.
Indeed, the only thing in which Gordon does appear remotely interested is himself.
So, when Helen finds herself increasingly attracted to another man, it isn't just cake mix she has on her hands, but a rather large dilemma. One that forces her to decide if her marriage is worth saving. Or if, like several ingredients in her fridge, it has reached its expiry date.
This is the second of four short stories in The Cosy Cottage on the Loch series.

This was a fabulous follow up from part one in The Cosy Cottage on the Loch series. I love Alice Ross' books and with each new one I read - I love them even more! They're lighthearted, funny, and just so unputdownable. You can read this in just a couple of hours if you've got some spare time, then you'll find yourself pining for the next one in the series!
This particular one in the series focuses on Helen, who is just so excited to be opening her own cafe in the gorgeous Glenduff Castle that she hasn't ever been happier! She just wishes that Gordon (her husband) is supportive and proud of her. However, this doesn't appear to be the case and I was feeling so sorry for Helen, all she wanted was for her husband to be happy for her like she was happy for him.
Helen starts work at Glenduff and soon it starts becoming her little escape place, somewhere where she can be her happy self and enjoy her time. However, when a leak turns Helen's happiness bubble upside down, she calls in plumber Tom and Helen finds herself suddenly attracted to another man. Will Helen leave her husband? Or will she work the hardest she's ever worked to get their relationship back on track?
This is a great story, although I didn't expect anything less from one of my favourite authors, and I enjoyed every minute. It's a short story but one that you won't forget anytime soon. It's a lovely heartwarming story and I can't wait to read the rest in the series. I loved the characters and of course the beautiful setting this series is based on. Thank you to Alice Ross for a chance to read this novel which I have reviewed honestly.
