New Starts and Cherry Tarts at the Cosy Kettle
Liz Eeles
Rating: 5 stars
Fans of Cathy Bramley, Debbie Johnson and Jenny Colgan will fall in love with the Cosy Kettle cafe, where slices of lemon meringue pie are served in the sun-dappled garden - and where Callie's new beginning collides with an old flame...
After yet another failed romance, twenty-six-year-old Callie Fulbright is giving up on love. She's determined to throw all her efforts into her very own, brand-new cafe: The Cosy Kettle. Serving hot tea, cherry tarts and a welcoming smile to the friendly locals proves to be the perfect distraction, and Callie feels a flush of pride at the fledging business she's built.
But her new-found confidence is soon put to the test when her gorgeous ex reappears in the quaint little village. She'll never forget the heartache Noah caused her years ago, but when they bump into each other on the cobbled streets of Honeyford she can't help but feel a flutter in her chest...
As Callie and Noah share laughter and memories, she starts to wonder if this could be her second chance of happiness. But when Callie discovers that someone is mysteriously trying to ruin the cafe's reputation... she has an awful suspicion that Noah knows who's involved.
Was she wrong to ever trust him again? And can she find out who's behind the lies and rumours, before it's too late for the Cosy Kettle?

Words cannot describe how much I adored this novel. This was a delightful and easy, fun read and I loved every minute. As soon as I knew that Liz Eeles would be bringing out another novel and then I saw it on Netgalley I was so excited! Her past novels have been absolutely amazing to read and I love her style of writing. I jumped at the chance to download it and began it immediately after I finished the one I was currently reading.
I absolutely adore the cover and the title of Liz's new novel. The cover is one of my favourites from this year actually. Cherry tarts at the Cosy Kettle sounds very inviting indeed! I also love the cakes along the bottom of the cover, the cute cottage at the back of the cover and the bright, inviting colours. Even the name is mouthwatering!
Straight from the start with this novel I knew I was going to love it. I just feel that Liz's style of writing hooks you from the start and I just loved all the characters from the off. I really related and felt for Callie, she was shy but just so lovely and I instantly warmed to her. I also found her granddad Stanley really funny and really enjoyed reading about his crazy antics! As well as this, I loved all of the other secondary characters such as Flora, Becca and Mary! They were all really lovely and I dreamed throughout of living somewhere like Honeyford. The setting sounded absolutely idyllic and I longed to book a trip to the Cotswolds!
This was just an overall really delightful and enjoyable novel. It's lighthearted and the perfect easy read for Spring. It will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy and I just loved every page. I'm really hoping that we go back to this little story and read more about the other characters - as I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to Honeyford just yet! Liz Eeles has a gift of making you want to be exactly where she's writing - and as with her other novels, this one was no different. It was well-written, engaging and simply brilliant.
Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
