Description
Losing his job at the local newspaper after depicting the sub-editor in a series of unflattering doodles, William Bridge is called on to help his uncle Albert keep his shop going and he immediately falls in love with Sally, the latest shop volunteer, despite formidable opposition from her autocratic step mother, Lady Courtney.
Following a break-in and lost orders, an SOS sent to Albert’s maverick brother Neil for back-up support changes everything. On the run from the police, Neil disguises himself as his Aunt Isobel, and encourages William to be nice to a visiting American security expert and his flighty daughter Veronica to promote business, causing a rift in his budding romance. The pressure soon mounts for William to investigate rumours of a shady deal to take over the shop and threaten the life of the village – a price he is willing to pay in a desperate fight to win back his love.

This is a quirky little story about a small shop in a small town, with humorous characters and hilarious circumstances that will have you in stitches. Living in a town named Snuggleton-by-the-Sea, how can the people not have a sense of humor? This is a place you'd like to visit, populated by people you'd like to know. A very funny book. Don't read this in church or any other place where it would be inappropriate to laugh out loud.
Loved this book,very entertaining read,about a little shop,ups and down of village lives.
I liked this book. A fun read about the fate of a village shop. Nice easy reading with a few laughs thrown in. This is my first book by this author, think I will read some more.
This is not my typical genre. It’s a cute book and I would most likely read more by this author. It was a quick, funny read.

Michael Wilton did a great job in Save Our Shop. I really enjoyed reading this story as the characters were relatable.
