Lovely debut book!

This book is sweet in every sense of the word. It starts by pulling at your heart strings with the tragic loss of Dr Cohen's wife, leaving him to bring up his young son alone. Eight years later Paige arrives in Port Landon to start a new life and romance begins to blossom. I loved the way this 'will they or won't they' tale led to a happy ever after.

I highly recommend this book, it leaves you feeling all warm and happy. Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this.

Paige is living the fast paced NYC life - a job she enjoys but has zero personal life. Work, work, work.

Cohen is a small town vet, single dad after losing his wife to a tragic car accident. His life is on a loop also, parenthood, work, parenthood, bed, repeat.

Paige decides to leave NYC for a small town in Michigan and persue her dream of opening a bakery. The two paths cross and there is a spark. Can the two make this work? Life has a way of getting in the way.

This was a cute and easy read with nothing really that original. It was well written but quite slow going and I didn't connect to the characters as much as I had hoped I would. I am glad I read it but it won't stick with me for long.

"Happiness wasn't something someone else could give ; it was something people had to allow themselves to find, experience and accept. Only then could they let someone else in to share it with."

The Forget-Me-Not Bakery was like a combination of all of my favorite flavors of cake together. A smile was literally plastered to my face while I was reading it. (There were some parts that made me a cry a little though) From the talk about cupcakes and cute dogs, to being the sweetest small-town romance ever, this book was perfect in every way possible. The characters, both the male and female lead along with the supporting ones, were so well-written. Cohen and Paige’s relationship was adorable as well. I loved seeing how their friendship blossomed into something really special. The respect and love that they shared for each other was just so heart-warming. AND don’t even get started on how much I loved Cohen’s son, Bryce’s scenes in the story. :’)

The Forget-Me-Not bakery will fix a gloomy day and fill it with warmth. If you’re a fan of Hallmark movies, definitely pick this up. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely summer read. I gave this a high 3 stars. I liked the story but could not warm to Cohen.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

A lovely romance, complete with a dog and a child. This book is one of those that can be read in a sitting if you are looking for a relaxing afternoon. I will look out for other books by this author.

Great cozy read. Small town bakery and a romance with a vet. Perfect for curling up with on a summer afternoon.

Fun, warm romance with themes of love, loss and family. The slower pace of life portrayed is very like the way all of our lives have been made quieter by the pandemic and perhaps this is not a bad thing - the frantic city bustle is not something I’m in a hurry to get back to, like the protagonist. Enjoyable escapism but be warned it will leave you craving cake intensely!

What a great read. I read it in 1 day. Paige moves from New York city to a small town and opens a bakery. She meets Cohen and his son Bryce

Paige is leaving the city to open a small town Bakery. She doesn't realize what awaits her arrival. Cohen is the local small town vet. He is a widower with a 10 year old son. Neither has a dating life and not been interested. Cohen is there on opening day and finds himself intrigued . Taking the dessert he purchased home to his young son , who loves his treat. It gives him a reason to revisit the store. Both find themselves wanting more than friendship. The small town has a lot of interest in these two people. This love story has a just enough twist and turns to keep you involved. I enjoyed the story of Paige and Cohen. (less)

What a simply mouthwatering book. I don’t know what I drooled over the most, the yummy cakes and the Cohen the sexy vet?

This was perfect small town romance. Paige scared to open her heart and take a leap of faith and Cohen trying to put his past heartache behind him. Enter ten years old Bryce who works his charm in bringing his dad and Paige together. I also enjoyed that we got another happy ever after whilst reading, Allison and Christopher’s wedding day. I really hope there will be more books with the characters we met.

This book for me is a Christmas movie in a book. I loved it! Its a lovely feelgood story set in a small town in America.
Paige moves from New York to a small town called Port Landon to open up a bakery. She meets Dr Cohen ( a widow) and his young son and you know what happens! She becomes part of the town and their lives through the love of cake and her kind ways ! Perfect feelgood summer reading!

I loved this sweet romance. The characters are genuine and kind. Even when the characters make mistakes, it is out of love and concern for others. The descriptions made me want to move to Port Landon and definitely made me hungry for bakery treats. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was the debt book by Caroline Flynn and it was a great read which I fell in love straight away.

The story is about Paige who has moved from New York and opened a new bakery where she meets some of the locals including the local vet Cohen and his Son Bryce. They also have a loveable dog which you will fall in love with too. The story is told from both Paige's and Cohen's POV and I love it when stories do this as I think it really helps to get to know the characters. Bryce is also hilarious and I loved some of the things that he would come out with.

I was quickly sucked in the story and wanted to keep reading and not put it down. It is a very easy, light hearted read. There are lots of twists and turns in the book that will keep you reading. There is some great witty and funny banter between the characters. The descriptions of some of the cakes and bakes will also have your mouth watering.

I would highly recommend this to fans of light hearted, fun romance reads. I can't wait for future books from Caroline Flynn.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ digital for the book in exchange for this review
