Book Review - The Little Wedding Shop By the Sea: Cupcakes and Confetti - Jane Linfoot

You know how non your kindle book recommendations pop up underneath the "closed" title?

I was taking a break from another book and rereading The Cosy Tea Shop in the Castle when this book popped up into my recommendations.

The title caught my attention. On occasion a bit of whismy hopeful wishfulness pops up inside me and I start dreamimg that "someday" planning this particular hopelessly singleton is doomed to repeat on occasion.

This means British authors (not classic) and/or books containing weddings.

Perfect for this author/book blogger to escape into as I take a break from writing. 

Set around Devon and Cornwall (I admit to being hopelessly clueless about English grography.  And using hopelessly too much.) is a a bridal shop by the sea.  There we meet Poppy - the baker, Josie - the owner, and Sera - the wedding dress designer.

Book One follows Poppy.

Poppy is a baker living over the wedding shop.  After what is implied to be a pretty nasty break up, one of her friends lets her move into the attic and bake wedding (and other) cakes. 

Six months later, Poppy's friend Cate learns that her wedding planner has quit.  To make matters worse this news is delivered by their other friend, Immie.  In a moment of genius, or insanity, they convince Poppy to apply for the wedding coordinator positon at the nearby Daisy Hill Farm.

Not expecting to get the position, she goes in.  When the owner turns around she recognizes him from the day before.  While struggling to walk Cate's dogs Poppy literally ran into him.  Well, the dogs ran into him, pushing Rafe (the farmer and owner of Daisy Hill Farm) into a wet and muddy road side ditch.  Poppy was pulled in after him.

Moments later she's given a job.  Rafe's reasoning? Even as inexperienced as she is, Poppy cannot ruin things worse than they already are.  

Only Poppy has a problem.  The previous "Events Coordinator" didn't leave very good files.  Poppy has no clue where these files are and therefore has no clue who or when any weddings are planned.

Do I recommend it for my older blog readers (being not a young adult book), certainly.  I already ordered the other avalible sequels.
