The Pudding Pantry opens its doors for summer.
And there are wedding bells on the horizon . . .
Escape with the gorgeous new novel in the Pudding Pantry series.
The sun is shining as Rachel and her gorgeous beau Tom, prepare to tie the knot at Primrose Farm.
It takes a village to pull off the perfect country wedding and Rachel couldn't be more grateful for her friends and family as they roll out the hay-bales and string up the bunting - all she needs to do is focus on her Happy Ever After.
But no wedding is without drama. A face from the past is looking to stir up trouble in the village and there's a secret following Rachel all the way up the aisle . . .
With old friends, new promises and a little borrowed time, will Rachel get the wedding of her dreams?

Caroline lives in the wonderful Northumberland countryside with her husband, and has two children and a lively spaniel. She credits the sandy beaches, castles and rolling hills around her as inspiration for her novels. She enjoys writing about relationships; stories of friendship, love, loss and family, that explore how beautiful and sometimes complex love can be.
She believes in striving for your dreams, which after many years of writing led her to a publishing deal (yippee!) with her heart-wrenching novel The Desperate Wife and The Cosy Teashop in the Castle, a romantic comedy which became a Kindle bestseller. Summer at Rachel's Pudding Pantry is the third book in her latest series, set on a farm in beautiful rural Northumberland with cakes and bakes galore.
A slice of cake, glass of bubbly, and a cup of tea, would make her day - preferably served with friends!

Words cannot describe just how amazingly good this book is. It was an absolute pleasure being back at Primrose Farm with Rachel, little Maisy and of course lovely Jill. The cover of this book is probably my favourite of the whole series. I love the bright colours used, the confetti, the bunting and of course the flowers. It all ties in really well and looks so beautiful.
As the same as the other novels, this story focuses on Rachel and her life on Primrose Farm. Firstly, can I just say that I have absolutely no idea how she does everything and not collapse with exhaustion?! Rachel looks after the farm, runs the tea pantry, bakes in her spare time for the pantry, is a single mum to little Maisy, she also has a budding new romance with Tom which she is trying to keep going andddddd plan a wedding!! I mean, just how exhausting does that sound?! My hat goes off to her, because I certainly wouldn't be able to do what she does.
What is slightly different with this book is that we also see some chapters from best friend Eve's point of view. Eve is going through her own troubles, being married to Ben for years she feels that their relationship is starting to feel a little stagnant and that he sees her crafting job as just a little 'hobby'. So, when Eve goes to craft fairs to get business, she meets artist Aiden and falls for him. It was really refreshing and interesting to read more about Eve and what she decides to do. I was happy with how things turned out for her as she seemed like such a lovely and bubbly character who deserves a happy ending!
Although this novel is a follow on from the others, I would say you could easily read it as a standalone but I would urge you to read the others first so you can really enjoy and appreciate the storyline and all of the wonderful characters! This book was like a warm hug, I adored the descriptions of the bakes and yummy food from the Pantry - it seriously made my mouth water! - and I enjoyed reading about Rachel planning her wedding. This book was a breath of fresh air, it was wonderfully captivating and enjoyable.
Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read an advance copy of this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.
