This book has all the ingredients for a perfect small-town romance book (see what I did there hehe). It follows Paige, who moves from NYC to start a bakery in a small town called Port Landon, and Cohen, who is a veterinarian single dad who’s wife passed away eight years ago. Although both of them are not looking for love or a relationship the chemistry is instant when they meet. They will just have to decide if the love they share will make it the chance of them getting hurt worth taking. I really liked the way Paige and Cohen’s son (Bryce) bonded and made their own friendship. The story is told through Paige and Cohen in respective chapters and it’s great to see their own thoughts and hesitations as their relationship grows.
I really liked this book and it had all the vibes of a cute Hallmark movie. It is a great lighthearted read that doesn’t have much conflict; making it a great feel-good summer read!

This book starts off really good and then it seems to slow down. She's an ex-workaholic who decide to move closer to her cousin in a small town. He's a widower and parent to an adorable and humorous son. The scenes with the bakery and the interaction between the main character and the child are to funny. I give this book a 3.5 stars. *********************I received an ARC for my honest opinion from Netgalley.***************

I g, this book it’s amazing, first:

And thank you so much for the ARC.
I really enjoy it

This is a sweet small town romance that you hope hope hope (and actually know) will have an HEA. Paige is rebuilding her life in Port Landon- she's finally got her own bakery. Cohen is the local vet and his kid Bryce loves chocolate cake so of course he's got to visit as soon as she opens. What he didn't expect to find was a new love. Cohen's wife (and Bryce's mom) was killed in an accident and he's been walled off a bit ever since. Paige and Cohen become friends and then the attraction grows. It takes a village for these things and Flynn has done a nice job not only with her characters but also with the locale. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. An easy read perfect for a lazy summer day = quarantined or not.

I really enjoyed the story of Paige and Cohen. Paige's brave decision to leave her NYC life in search of greater happiness and fulfillment resonates with anyone who's toyed with the idea of leaving the chaotic day to day for something more creative. The Cakery is the perfect way to leave that world behind. Paige's new journey still requires hard work, but there's a lot of joy in a slice of her double chocolate cake.

The tension between Paige and Cohen was believable and a slow burn. A very sweet romance, which did leave me missing more romance on the page, more intimacy. I would have liked to see Paige start the story with a little more of a "New York" sort of exterior, even though she's a sweet as pie. Her transition into life in Port Landon would have been a little more complex--the way she reads on the page, she didn't feel like the type of person who ever belonged in NY in the first place.

A lovely book a delicious bakery that I would love to visit a town I would love to live in.Add a sweet romance characters that come alive this was a delightful read.#netgalley#hqdigital

This is a lovely tale of relocation and reconnecting! Love and romance! Easy summer reading! Well written! Great characters! Loved the ending!

This was a nice, clean romance book set in a small town. There was a little too much repetition In it for me though. I’m sure others will enjoy reading it.

What a wonderful HEA book! It is a slow burn romance, with several bumps in the road to happiness, but for Paige, Cohen, and his son Bryce, they’d have it no other way.

Paige moves home to Port Landon after getting burned out with her NY career, and starts a bakery. She meets Cohen and Bryce, who loves chocolate cake (who doesn’t!), and the relationship starts to build. After a town’s resident house burns down, they team up on a fundraiser.

I won’t share any of the bumps, I don’t do spoilers. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be the last!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

A feel good romance that will have you sighing, smiling and craving double chocolate cake! When Dr. Cohen stops by the newly opened bakery for some sweet treats for his son, he's surprised with a sweet treat for himself- bakery owner Paige! I enjoyed reading each chapter from his and her viewpoints and exploring their story from friendship to love. A cute, fun and easy read!

Paige moves to Port Landon to make her life full by opening her own bakery. She feels her life is just the way it should be and then she meets the handsome vet Cohen. Cohen is a widow with a son, and he has gotten his life back since the accident that took his wife.

Thank you to Netgalley, Caroline Flynn and HQ Digital for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

‘The Forget-Me-Not Bakery’ is the story about Paige Henley who leaves her uptown life in New York to manage a bakery in the lakeside town, Port Landon. Cohen Beckett is a single father who remains heartbroken over his wife’s death eight years past her death. He is an affectionate and overprotective father to his exuberant, smart son, Bryce. Paige finds solace in the homely little town with residents full of big hearts. Cohen and Paige meet and sparks fly. But will their love last?

The push and pull between the lovebirds worked well. They had good communication and were open to each other. They slowly but surely fall in love. They both choose to express themselves in actions rather than words unlike Paige’s boss, Alex. The best part about this book is the descriptions throughout the book. The social atmosphere and sightseeing views were easy to imagine. Some of the instances felt as though the reader was part of the journey that the characters were going through.

Chapters are written in Cohen’s and Paige’s points of view although in the third person. Most of the scenarios were extremely emotional. The second half of the book picked up in pace and solemnity. ‘The Forget-Me-Not Bakery had fluffy cupcakes with angst toppings. While the story was engaging, it was hard to empathize with the characters and the gossipy chatters' atmosphere of Port Landon. There were not many details regarding the background characters, enough significance for their stories. Details on character flaws would make the book more real and authentic.

This book is recommended for people who are in for a lazy, sweet romance. ‘The Forget-Me-Not Bakery’ would leave readers as satisfied as they would be after having countless deserts preceding a good Italian meal. ARC provided by NetGalley and HQ digital Publishers. Thank you.

The Forget-Me-Not-Bakery is your perfect sweet romance that will make your heart sing and is the perfect read if you are looking for something light and fluffy!

We get to watch both character let their walls down and let love into their hearts, and of course fall madly in love and get their happily ever after.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ Digital for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Paige decided after being tortured from her cousin to move to a quiet town that it was time to do what she always wanted and that was to make cupcakes. Her first day of opening walks in a dr Cohen and paige fell in love instantly. And dr Cohen for the first time started to notice others. Both had always to go before admitting what was holding them back but with a smart 10 yr old and a loving dog things get interesting.

I loved this book so much! A small town romance with a bakery and a doctor (sign me up!). This book was written so well and if the cover won't make you hungry then the story line will make you wush you were in love. Caroline Flynn really bought it with this book

*I received this ARC ebook from Netgalley*

This is my first go at the Port Landon novels but may not be my last. The story was sweet and fluffy, exactly what I was looking for in a summer porch read. I'm a sucker for stories that involve food so this one covered that base nicely. If you like stories by Louise Miller or Jenny Colgan, then you'll like this.

There was a line about the romantic lead's coworker in which the author described her as having mocha skin, which seemed kind of out of place given that I don't remember any other character had been described in terms of food or skin color...that gave me a bit of a weird pause...otherwise it was a nice and easy read.

Small town bakeries are my faves! This one has single dad and veterinarian Cohen coming in to satisfy his son’s sweet tooth - and finding that the chief baker has caught his eye.

Loved the charming town coming togerhrt for various reasons, the long walks around Port Landon, and the cakes. Not sure i bought the quick falling in love or the reasons for the breakup, but I totally bought the cheek to cheek dancing and the happily ever after.

This was such a sweet and light-hearted read! I loved watching Paige and Cohen fall in love (also I just love the name Paige Henley for some reason), but even more so, I loved watching Bryce, Cohen's son, fall in love with Paige. I've been reading a lot of romance about main characters who meet in their teens and early twenties and fall in love for the first time with them, but the romance is different when the characters are older and have been in love before or have children to factor into the equation. Caroline Flynn really did a great job. I was in tears (happy ones!) at the very end. Plus, I loved her description of Port Landon. I could picture Main Street and all the quaint shops perfectly.

If you're a fan of Nicholas Sparks, this book is right up your alley.

Thanks to NetGalley and HQ Digital for an advance copy of this book. It was the perfect summer escape read.

I absolutely love, love, loved this!
This book will suck you in, keep you captive and only release you after the last page.

I must admit the prologue had me in tears as I wondered where the book would lead but as I began to delve in further I fell completely in love with it.

The author brings the characters and all the places in the book to life, I wanted to be there, I wanted to be friends with Paige and Allison, I wanted a job in the bakery or (as a former veterinary nurse) a job in the veterinary clinic.

Everything was well described and factually correct. The little boy in this story is portrayed so well, his relationship with his father, with people around him, he’s such a character!! Even the family dog is included so well in this story, her mannerisms so accurate to her breed.

If I could have I would have devoured this book in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down and I certainly didn’t want it to end.

Yes, in some ways it may follow the general pattern of a modern romance, with perhaps some predictable parts, but in others it really doesn’t. It’s fresh and new and a lovely tale of love, loss, friendships and fresh starts.

I’m not going to give too much away just that you will fall in love with this book and everyone in it! You will feel their pain, cry with them (both happy and sad) and laugh too.

This is a fantastic story that is told well and is now one of my favourite reads!
I would recommend this to everyone and will be purchasing copies for myself and friends once it is released.

I will certainly be seeking out more from this author.

Thank you to Netgallery, the publishers and most importantly the author, for the chance to read this book, in exchange for an honest review.

This book was adorable! It gives complete hallmark movie vibes and if you are like me and LOVE a good hallmark movie than i think you will enjoy this one. ⁣⁣
It is pretty predictable but i went into reading it thinking it would have been. It lacked something for me..i needed a bit more romance so for that it fell a bit short. But nonetheless, was a cute, easy inbetween thrillers read to cleanse my mind. ⁣exactly what i needed.⁣
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this arc in return for an honest review. ⁣⁣
