This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for letting me take part in this tour and for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I read The Bakery at Seashell Cove earlier this year and fell in love with the characters so I was very excited to return! While this is the 3rd book in the series they can be read as standalones and in any order (I haven't read the first book yet).

Tilly's friends are all loved up and she is in her first 'grown up' relationship but it's quite obvious she's not that happy with the relationship. Instead she is focusing her time on renovating the Cafe which she absolutely loves. The only problem is things keep going wrong and with a deadline looming she's worried she will let everyone down. I really liked Tilly. I could easily see myself being her friend.

Seth, oh what a man. I instantly fell for Seth. He's attractive, kind and just wants to be a good dad to his little boy Jack. Yes he's made some mistakes but no one is perfect.

This book is full of Christmas cheer, romantic moments and gives you a that feel good feeling. There were some real laugh out loud moments as well as some heart warming elements between Tilly and her sister. Karen does an excellent job of making this book about more than just the romance. There are elements of friendship, family relationships and career decisions too.

I loved being back at Seashell Cove and I can't wait to return when I catch up with Cassie's story.
