- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Little Wedding Shop by the Sea by Jane Linfoot is a 2016 One More Chapter publication. When Poppy’s fiancé is caught locking lips with another woman on Facebook, her friends Cate and Immie come to her rescue. Now, she’s working as a cake baker at ‘Brides by the Sea”, a cute little wedding shop in Cornwall, and living in the space directly above the shop. But her life takes a detour when Cate’s wedding planner suddenly quits, and Cate asks Poppy to take her place... Which is where she finds herself in an unusual location, working with a farmer, named Rafe, who couldn’t care less about wedding planning and is impossible to be around. Not only that the wedding planning notes and files are in terrible disarray, leaving Poppy to cope with all manner of challenges to make each couple’s wedding turn out the way they dreamed- not to mention Cate’s over the top plans for her wedding which has gotten totally out of control…. This is a cute story, with some hilarious banter between Rafe and Poppy. The farm animals, and the scenery are a unique place to plan weddings, but I found the quirky atmosphere very entertaining. The book is longer than necessary, and this affected the pacing, which seriously lagged in some places. The story wasn’t as squeaky clean as the cover suggests- with some strong language tossed in here and there and some closed-door sexual situations. But, other than that, it’s an easy to read, light-hearted story, perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, a fun, enjoyable contemporary romance/ Rom-Com.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5{First of 4 in The Little Wedding Shop by the Sea aka Cupcakes and Confetti; romance} (2016)Seven years ago Poppy gave up her successful career in London to move back to Cornwall, where she grew up, and move in with her boyfriend to support his career. As the story opens, however, she's recently left him after finding out on Facebook that he cheated on her. Now she's making a living baking wedding cakes so when an opportunity comes along to supplement her income by becoming a wedding planner at the farm where one of her best friends works letting out cottages she reluctantly takes it since it means rescuing her other best friend's wedding which has been booked to take place there. But Rafe, her new boss, is grumpy and hard to get along with, not to mention not being convinced that weddings is the direction that Daisy Hill Farm should be going in. Needless to say Poppy falls for him despite her vow that she's never going to go out with anyone ever again (I don't consider that a spoiler since it's fairly evident from the blurb for the book).Confusingly, it‘s narrated in the first person, present tense but as though the narrator is talking directly to the reader about the events that … happened? … are happening now? And I admit I'm not au fait with what a wedding planner/ event manager does but I did wonder what Poppy's job entailed. She doesn't seem to have to do anything; there's a property manager to take care of Daisy Hill farm and the couples seem to have booked everything else themselves.The hero is actually a really nice, kind hearted guy but we see him through the narrator's eyes and she's convinced herself that she's not interested in another relationship after catching her ex-boyfriend cheating. So he doesn't shine as much as he should which is a shame because it could have been the sweet romance I was looking for. It's a nice enough story, but just not that exciting.September 20223 stars
