Romance has never been so sweet...
While Holly Berry may have finally purchased Just One More and landed a date with one of Bourton-on-the-Water’s most eligible bachelors, it is far from plain sailing.
A face from the past threatens to torpedo Holly’s fledgling relationship before it even gets going.
Will everything go according to plan? Or is Holly’s dream life at risk of turning sour?
Catch up with your favourite sweet shop owner in this charming and heartwarming story, perfect for fans of Holly Martin, Jessica Redland and Polly Babbington.

Gosh, so much was packed into this riveting tale! We have an ex who just won’t go away like a bad smell, miscommunication with love birds, a wonderful friendship with a lady at a care home, and loss, that’s when I cried.
I adore seeing Holly and seeing her growth during this book. The shock she felt when Dan just turned up and wouldn’t go away, I felt too and then his crappy gaslighting obnoxious behaviour. Well, Holly tolerated more than I would have. What an idiot and so delusional.
I adore Ben too, he’s perfect for Holly but it just felt like it wasn’t meant to be in this book, and that did not make me happy. From a terrible second date to Dan to well just everything!
Then Verity! If I had her wardrobe and her spritely behaviour at her age, I would be over the moon! She was fabulous as she glided in to play bingo and into my heart!
I did love that this book took us out of the sweet shop and into town to meet new people and enjoy the place we are in. I did miss the sweet shop, but we still went to get our humbugs and rhubarbs and custards.
This series is just so sweet, and so much fun, and yes it made me cry….. I just lost myself in the narration from the start and swept up until the end. This is one I finished in a day as I just couldn’t stop listening, Gloria Sanders is just glorious!
Right off to the next one!
Until the next time xxx
