The Little Bakery on Rosemary Lane: A feel-good romance to warm your heart

‘As comforting as a slice of homemade apple pie’ Red Prepare to fall in love with beautiful village of Burley Bridge. Growing up in a quiet Yorkshire village, Roxanne couldn’t wait to escape and find her place in the world in London. As a high-powered fashion editor she lives a glamorous life of perennial singlehood – or so it seems to her sister Della. But when Roxanne gets her heart broken by a fashion photographer, she runs away, back to Della’s welcoming home above her bookshop in Burley Bridge. But Burley Bridge, Roxanne discovers, is even quieter than she remembered. There’s nothing to do, so Roxanne agrees to walk Della’s dog Stanley. It’s on these walks that Roxanne makes a startling discovery: the people who live in Burley Bridge are, well, just people – different from the fashion set she’s used to, but kind and even interesting. Michael, a widower trying to make a go of a small bakery, particularly so. Little by little, cupcake by cupcake, Roxanne and Michael fall into a comforting friendship. Could there be a life for Roxanne after all, in the place she’s spent years trying to escape? The perfect cosy, heartwarming read for fans of Trisha Ashley. The best of both worlds collide as Roxanne, a high-powered fashion editor, finds solace in the rural town of Burley Bridge. Her humorous journey, filled with baking, romance, and a dash of comedy, is a testament to finding love and purpose in the most unexpected places.
