Little Teashop of Horrors by Jane Lovering
Secrets, lies, carrot cake and an owl called Skrillex!
Amy Knowles has always been the plain sidekick to her pretty best friend Jules. And whilst the tearoom they both work in on the Monkpark Hall estate in Yorkshire is not exactly awash with eligible bachelors, it’s obvious where the male attention is concentrated – and it’s not just on the cakes!
There is one man who notices Amy. Joshua Wilson also works at Monkpark, where he flies his birds of prey for visitor entertainment. He lives a lonely existence but he has reasons for choosing isolation – and, in Amy, he may have found somebody who understands.
Then a management change brings slick and well-spoken Edmund Evershott to Monkpark. He’s interested in Amy too, but for what reason? Josh suspects the new manager is up to no good – but will Amy? Because Edmund could leave her with much worse than a broken heart…

~My Review~
4 Quirky Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Well… I have found the perfect romance for my friends that have an aversion towards romance books… there will be no eye rolling in this unusual and very delightful romance… there is no alpha male or sophisticated heroin… there is no Insta love, no walk of shame in the morning, no angst… what there is though is lovely real characters… characters you would actually meet when walking down the street… a beta hero who you’ll fall in love with… and a heroin who does not have a mean bone in her body…
Amy our heroine was so lovely…. Always worrying about everybody, always there for everybody, with the exception of herself… it was almost heartbreaking at times how little Amy thought of herself, when she was such a capable and wonderful person…. Josh our beta hero was very secretive and very damaged, my heart broke for him as well…. The relationship between these two developed so sweetly and at such a realistic pace… shoot it almost developed too slowly and how often does that happen in a romance?
Along with Amy and Josh was a cast of amazing and quirky secondary characters…. The setting was also interesting a historical hall, with a tea shop, and a birds of prey show…. Now I am not a bird person, but I will make an exception for Skrillex the owl…. This was a delightful book filled with laughs, love, and food…
Absolutely recommend to fans of a clean romance and even to those of you that don’t always love the love……

Not a fan of romance but your review has convinced me to give this one a try. The character development seems to have been well done and I like the ‘no insta love’ bit haha. Great review.

Who are we kidding really? Titles, covers, other reviews, a funny or compelling blurb…. it all adds up to excuses to feed our addiction. LOL
