The Little Brooklyn Bakery
Julie Caplin
Rating: 4 stars
'Irresistible' Sunday Times bestseller Katie Fforde
Take a trip to New York and the best little bakery in Brooklyn for bagels, bakes, and more than a sprinkle of romance!
When Sophie Bennings arrives in New York, love is the last thing on her mind. Still reeling from a painful break up, she throws herself into her work as a food editor on a top-notch magazine.
Columnist Todd McLennan is everything that Sophie wishes she didn't want. Like the gorgeous bakery below her Brooklyn apartment, he's as tempting as the sugary cupcakes on daily display. Surely a little of something you fancy can do you good?
As Sophie and Todd get to know one another, a love of food isn't the only passion they share. In the city that never sleeps, has Sophie finally met the man of her dreams...?
----------------------------------------
Out of everything that pops up on Netgalley, I was so over the moon to see this one in particular. After absolutely loving The Little Cafe in Copenhagen back in January, I've been waiting rather impatiently for this one! The cover is absolutely stunning and if the beautiful bright colours don't draw you in, then the location certainly will. In the background is the big city and in the foreground is a cute little table with all sorts of pastries on top.
The overall story follows Sophie, who was in the first of the City Bakes Series, who gets asked to relocate for 6 months to New York City! At first she is quite reluctant and turns the offer down, but a heart-breaking event at home makes her soon rethink her decision and head over to the city that never sleeps. She starts work at a high-end magazine and soon meets fellow worked Todd, whom she is instantly attracted to.
Just as I thought I would, I really, really loved this novel. I loved the character of Sophie in the first City Bakes Series and I loved her even more now we got to know her a little bit better in this one! She's from a well-to-do background, but she hides away from it, thinking that she would be better off if people didn't know her real identity. She's a real softy and just someone who I instantly related too.
One thing that I really enjoyed about this book was the delicious treats that were mentioned throughout. It made my mouth water and also made me really want to visit New York! Overall, a really lovely lighthearted novel that I throughly enjoyed. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to review this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
