The Bakery at Seashell Cove
Karen Clarke
Rating: 5 stars
An absolutely hilarious, uplifting summer read about living life to the full!
Meg Larson thought she had everything she wanted: she works in the local bakery, she's months away from marrying her high-school sweetheart, and home is beautiful, sunny Seashell Cove, where the sky is blue, the sea is turquoise and the sand is golden.
Except that the bakery is up for sale and her fiance Sam's more interested in bikes than their relationship. When Meg receives shocking news about her family, he's on a cycling tour and ignoring her calls - and posting selfies on Facebook with a female cyclist he looks far too cosy with...
Luckily the bakery's estate agent, Nathan, is understanding and funny, and as the summer goes on an unexpected friendship blossoms. When the bakery is given a second lease of life under a mysterious new owner, Meg realises that a change might be exactly what she needs too.
Will Mega find the happy-ever-after she dreams of in Seashell Cove?
An uplifting, laugh-out-loud rom com that will make you dream of romantic days at the beach. Perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson, Holly Martin and Jenny Oliver.

As soon as I saw this novel pop up on Netgalley I knew I was going to love it. Karen Clarke's novels have a talent for drawing you in and making you feel as though you're right there next to the main character! I absolutely adore this cover. I love the bright colours - and all of Karen's novels make you want to read them just by glancing at the cover! It's stunning, as was the story.
The storyline follows main character Meg, who is having a bit of trouble with her soon-to-be husband Sam and also the Bakery where she used to work to bake cakes. She feels in a bit of a rut, with Sam taking absolutely zero interest in her and her life ambitions, she starts thinking that maybe they shouldn't get married after all.
As well as this, her beloved Bakery is up for sale and she's worried that whoever will buy it won't allow her to continue working there. Until, a mystery buyer comes and decides he wants to pay for the bakery to get back to it's former glory - and for Meg to run it! Meg can't believe her luck, but when she logs onto Facebook and sees that fiance Sam is cosying up to other cyclist George, she doesn't know what to think anymore.
This novel is absolutely fantastic, I wished throughout this book that I could have friends as nice as Tilly and Cassie. And it was so nice to see characters that was in Karen Clarke's other novel: The Cafe at Seashell Cove make an appearance. It was like greeting old friends when I realised it was about the same group of people and I love every minute. I'm really hoping that there'll be a book about Tilly next, then we've got to know the whole group of friends!
Overall, I absolutely loved this novel and there was no way that I could give it any less than 5 stars. I can't wait to read more from this author. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
