About this listen

Fay Merryweather runs her cake shop from her beautiful garden. She whips up airy sponges and scrumptious scones while her customers enjoy the lovely blossoms and gorgeous blooms. Looking after the cake shop, the garden, and her cantankerous mother means Fay is always busy, but she accepts her responsibilities because if she doesn't do all this, who will?

Then Danny Wilde walks into her life and makes Fay question every decision she's ever made.

When a sudden tragedy strikes, Fay's entire world is thrown off balance even further, and she doesn't know which way to turn.

Can Fay find the strength to make a life-changing decision - even if it means giving up the thing she loves the most?

Life, love, and family are about to collide in The Cake Shop in the Garden.

Another great story from Carole. I loved the characters - Leah is hysterical and Stan is a darling! A story whose central theme is close to my heart looking after an elderly parent - told in a heartfelt way and with humour thrown in lightening the tale. Loved it!

Lovely listen.

This book was so frustrating as the heroine was so downtrodden and self-sacrificing that it was almost unbelievable. This was a disappointment as have read other Carole Matthews 's book and really enjoyed them.

Frustrating - what a pathetic heroine!

Didn't like this boom at all. It was drawn out too long and way too predictable. I was hoping it was near ending as I knew what was going to happen but when I checked how long was left there was still 7 1/2 hours to go! Felt like moving on but as is paid for it and wanted it to be good I kept going. A couple of surprises 3/4 of the way through but not enjoyable for me and I normally love cutesy romantic love stories.

Not A Fave
