Review for Christmas at The Little Duck Pond Cafe by Rosie Green: ★★★

Christmas at The Little Duck Pond Cafe by Rosie Green

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was very kindly offered an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given Christmas at The Little Duck Pond Cafe 3.5 stars.

This is the first time I have read anything by Rosie Green and I rather enjoyed this little foray into her world! Although this is the third book in a series, it can be read as a standalone.

Christmas at The Little Duck Pond Cafe is short and charming little novella that has an awful lot packed into such a small book. It was a real festive treat for the eyes as we get to delve into the story of the lovely Fen, who over comes her shyness to save the day and find love in the most unexpected of places.
There were lots of great characters and a few unsavory ones who complemented the story line and helped to develop the plot at a great pace and keep it moving forward.

It was cute and it was festive, a perfect little read in the run up to Christmas!

Fen has always hated being the centre of attention.
She loves her new job, working behind the scenes at the Little Duck Pond Cafe and baking the scrumptious cakes that have helped its reputation soar. But frankly, she'd rather scrub the public toilet floor with a toothbrush than have to come out and talk to the customers.
She's always been happy to stay in the background as long as she has a good supply of books to escape into. That's her kind of romance - the fictional sort where she can read about other people taking a chance on love, but she doesn't have to risk her own heart.
But that was before Ethan Fox arrived in the village and turned her world upside down. Ethan is a leading light in the local amateur dramatics theatre company and Fen knows he's way out of her league. 
But when the popular village Christmas pantomime hits a crisis, Fen and Ethan find themselves thrown together. Can Fen overcome her shyness and find the courage to step on stage and save the day?
