Little Duck Pond Cafe, Book 16
When Ruby Watkiss lands a job at the True Loaf Bakery, she feels as if the sun has finally come out. Having been through a traumatic time that wrecked her confidence levels, it’s a joy to be working for Ellie, and now all Ruby wants is to lead a quiet life and support her mum in getting the help she needs.
But life, it seems, has other plans for Ruby.
Working alongside the bafflingly rude Hudson Holmes would be bad enough – but then odd things start happening. It seems that someone is out to sabotage the café and bakery, and to her horror, Ruby finds the finger pointing at her.
Desperate to prove her innocence, she teams up with the most unlikely person in order to get to the bottom of what’s going on. Tailing suspects and hiding in bushes isn’t something she ever imagined she’d be doing, although her partner in mystery-solving seems the perfect man for the job. Can they clear Ruby’s name by discovering the real culprit?
With all the drama afoot, at least there’s no time for romance. Because that’s the very last thing on Ruby’s mind these days. Or is it…?

Review
When a write a review for the next book in the series, I feel like I can easily paste and copy a part of the previous review. It’s always nice to be back in Sunnybrook and meet some of the characters I already know, every story is great and I am, each and every time, looking forward to the next part.
The author introduces us to a few new characters Ruby and Hudson and I was not surprised it would involve Cupid too. It was great how they interacted with each other. There was a lot of teasing and it made me smile.
The series has always been like a romcom, but the author decided to spice things up a bit. She adds some suspense and turns the book into a very cozy mystery. Rest assured, no murders involved, just a bit of brain gym if you want to figure it all out before the characters do. 🙂
The main recipe for the book has not changed: romance, love and friendship are still very much there and maybe you should not change a winning one? Well, no if it does not add anything, you should keep it exactly the way it was. In this case though, it makes the whole even better. It turns the wonderful series in a wonderful wonderful one. 😉

About the author
Rosie has been scribbling stories ever since she was little.
Back then, they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by ‘the baddies’.
Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile, with really not much perilous danger involved at all – unless you count the heroine losing her heart in love.
Rosie’s series of novellas is centered around life in a village cafe. The latest, ‘A Winter Wedding at the Little Duck Pond Cafe’, is out now.
Rosie has also written a full-length, standalone book, ‘Snowflakes over Moondance Cottage’, out now.
