Pre-order the gorgeous new novel from Caroline Roberts, the Kindle bestselling author of the 'Cosy Teashop' series.
Primrose Farm is Rachel's very own slice of heaven. Come rain or shine there's always a pot of tea brewing by the Aga, the delicious aroma of freshly baked puddings, and a chorus of happy memories drifting through the kitchen.
But the farm is in a spot of trouble. As the daffodils spring, Rachel must plant the seeds of change if she wants to keep the farm afloat, and it's all resting on a crazy plan. She'll need one family cook book, her Mum Jill's baking magic - and a reason to avoid her distractingly gorgeous neighbour, Tom . . .
Swapping their wellies for aprons, can Rachel and Jill bake their way into a brighter future? The proof will be in the pudding!

Oh how I have been looking forward to reading another mouthwateringly delightful novel by the lovely Caroline Roberts! After absolutely falling in love with her other novels, especially The Cosy Christmas Chocolate Shop, I couldn't wait to get stuck in to another one of Caroline's fabulous baking stories. The cover is stunning and I love the bright colours, the main character in the middle and the beautiful looking sweet treats dotted around the kitchen! It's quite simple but it works really well and completely draws you in.
The novel starts with Rachel working hard during lambing season, it's clear from the very first page that Primrose Farm is her life and she adores where she lives, but it's also clear that Rachel and her family have suffered a terrible loss. The novel mentions quite a bit about Rachel's mum Jill 'finally getting back to her usual self' and how happy Rachel was about that. It was a lovely, relaxed start to a novel actually. What with Rachel working all hours during lambing season and it was nice to get a feel of the location - which sounded absolutely idyllic might I add - so I was looking forward to reading about where this story goes.
Rachel seemed to have been through a lot, especially with her daughter Maisy's father and I had a bad feeling about him from the start! However, despite that, there's such a lovely heartwarming feel-good feeling to this novel. And the more I read the more I fell in love with the story and the location. Reading about Jill and Rachel's bakes made me so hungry and made my mouth water! They sounded so delicious and I love that each chapter has it's own scrumptious sounding title!
The story really got started once the Pudding Pantry came to life! I loved reading about their days there and all of the puddings once again made my mouth water. I really enjoyed reading about Rachel and Tom too - and their blossoming relationship. It was nice seeing them go from friends into something a little bit more. Tom was such a lovely character and after reading everything that Rachel went through with her dad, I was rooting for them! Rachel and her family desperately needed a Happy Ending - and I thought that Tom was the right man to give it to them.
Overall, I throughly enjoyed every moment spent at the Pudding Pantry with Rachel, Jill, Maisy and all the other lovely characters! This novel is unputdownable, heartwarming and beautifully written. This is possibly my favourite Caroline Roberts' novel to date! I urge you to give this novel a read, it's perfect for the looming summer days. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
