"Love isn't always a piece of cake... Laurie Davis has always followed her passion. After escaping family drama to start a new life in New York City, she's up for whatever challenges life brings. So when an opportunity arises for her to use her travel industry expertise and serve as an assistant and tour guide for her idol, Pamela Lambert-Leigh, star of television's Tea-Time with Pamela, she jumps at the chance. But Laurie's exciting adventure ends up entailing a lot more than scouting locations for the cake queen's new cookbook when Pamela's sassy mother and sulky, rebellious daughter tag along for the trip. As they cruise around bakeries in New England trading local delights like Red Velvet Cake and Whoopie Pies for British specialties such as Victoria Sponge and Bakewell Tarts, more secrets than recipes are revealed. Now, in between rediscovering romance, learning to forgive family, and finding the best dessert on the East Coast, Laurie, Pamela, and the gang might find there's nothing a nice cup of tea, a sweet treat, and a little bit of friendship can't heal . . .

I was looking forward to reading this book as I've never read anything by Belinda Jones before. Having read several thrillers on the trot, I wanted something lighter and fun and this hit the spot. I was also pleasantly surprised as the content was less chick litty and frothy than the cover might suggest.

The story revolves round the trip that Laurie has devised for well known UK based baker Pamela Lambert-Leigh. The idea is that she will be publishing a book based on traditional cakes and ingredients found in the New York and New England states. So far so good until Laurie discovers that Pamela will be accompanied by her feisty mother and stroppy teenage daughter. Furthermore the trip will be made on a London bus, with Pamela's mother doing the driving.

Needless to say, it was not looking like a recipe for success and things were never going to be plain sailing. Throw in several males to introduce a little romance and what followed was an enjoyable read. I particularly liked the historical and cake related facts that for me, made the book more interesting and gave it a little bit more substance than I'd expected. It was a little bit like the Great British Bake Off meets Wish You Were Here and there is nothing wrong with that.

In short if you like cakes and travel, mixed with the a little romance then this book is ideal for you. It is a good holiday, feel good read that is suitable for all ages.

I received copy of this book via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

This book is such a feel-good book. It still makes me smile every time I think of it. It's so charming, the characters are great, the setting is amazing, and don't get me started on all the cakes and cupcakes....

There's a great romance story in there, just so sweet and right. There's a story line about family dynamics and how screwed up and hurtful they can be. There's lots of travel and discriptions of scenery and locations that make you want to pack your bag and go.

And all these elements are masterfully interwoven into one charming, beautiful package. Fabulous book! ( )

Who we are and where we fit in the world has been written about for centuries. Now, Jones take on the issue in this new travelogue novel. When a celebrity baker hires Laurie to plan an East Coast road trip to swap recipes with local chefs' classic regional pastries, how could Laurie imagine that such a trip would involve an antagonistic teen, a double-decker bus driven by a nosy grandma, a family secret, a scene at the Trapp Family Lodge (yes, *those* Von Trapps, as in The Sound of Music), and a Harvard-educated mechanic who seems too good to be true? It's a sweet and delightful journey. Recommended. Review copy received from the publisher via NetGalley.com. (108) ( )
