The Canal Boat Café

By: Cressida McLaughlin

Narrated by: Jessica Ball

The perfect summer romance from the author of A Christmas Tail. Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan and Holly Martin.

Summer Freeman returns to the waterside village of Willowbeck to rescue the Canal Boat Café, her late mother’s picturesque narrowboat, which has run into choppy waters. A family friend, Valerie, has been trying to keep things afloat, but the coffee machine is jammed, the cake offerings are paltry, and not all of the locals want to see the café succeed.

Help comes from the boat next door, in the shape of handsome wildlife photographer, Mason and his naughty Border Terrier, who are showing more than a passing interest in Summer and her adorable Bichon Frise, Latte. But is Mason being honest about himself? Or does he have something to hide?

As her life and the community of Willowbeck begin to entwine, Summer finds herself setting sail on a new adventure. Will the anchor of a steady life on land be too strong, or can Summer learn to cut loose and embrace life afloat?

Enjoyment with each book❤️

I have loved all of Cressida books! I feel like I can see all of the surroundings!

Loved!

Great story and relaxing to listen in this hurried world! I highly recommend this lovely story.

Slow moving, little action, no real connection between characters. For me, there was so little to the story that I was unable to finish the book. I just did not care what happened.

Too dramatic and slightly depressing

I thought I would like this book since I enjoyed the Cornish Cream Tea series but I couldn't even bear to finish this one, it felt like it was one bad thing after another happening, and everything so dramatic. With a few chapters left I stopped listening, I couldn't give it anymore time. The narrator was not bad but not good either, she enhanced the depressing feeling of the book.
