I adored this little story. I took Alice straight into my heart, an amazing person she grew to be dispute her start in life.

There were unexpected twists in the book along with the ending which I didn’t even envision happening.

As with all Trisha Ashley books, I absolutely adored this. It’s a nice, light, easy read which sucks you in quickly and you don’t want to put it down.
Great story and setting that makes you feel part of the scenery. I always look forward to her books and can’t wait for the next.

I really enjoyed this book the storyline was brilliant and the writing just flowed. i could picture each character in my mind with the descriptions what were given. I didn't want the book to end.

Trisha Ashley is one of my go-to authors and this did not disappoint! Charming story and I loved the setting, couldn't put it down.

A wonderful story of Alice who was adopted and needed to find her birth mother. I couldn't believe the twist at the end, didn't see it coming! I really enjoyed this book, will look out for her next one. Thank you for letting me read and review this book.

A great read with lots of twists and turns. I loved it

Actual rating: 3.5

This was an enjoyable but predictable read. This book follows Alice who was found as a baby near to Haworth. After the death of her fiance, she moves to Haworth to open her own tea shop. Alice writes fairy tales which were included in the book which I found a bit unnecessary and skipped over the majority of these parts. Alice meets Nile who she predictably falls in love with.

This story did take a while to get into but I ended up enjoying it. I liked the characters in this book and I really enjoyed the setting. The story is quite predictable and I predicted what was going to happen quite early on.

I enjoy Trisha Ashley's books and I will definitely read more from her in the future. If you are looking for a light-hearted, easy read then I would suggest this book.

I thoroughly enjoyed Alice's journey throughout the book. Once again Trisha Ashley has written a relatable, strong heroine.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There was one main storyline and two side ones, which were enthralling in their own right. The first of Trisha Ashley's books that I have read...definitely won't be my last.

Really enjoyed this book. Have read most of this authors books in the past and this one didnt fail to impress. Easy to follow with not too many confusing characters,,I would love to visit a cafe like The Fat Rascal and be served Tilda and Nell. Good read and wouldnt hesitate to highly recommended to anyone..

I loved this book! It was such a lovely story with great likeable characters. Yes ok some of it was predictable but that didn't detract from it in any way at all. Alice the main character was found abandoned on the Yorkshire Moors but thankfully was saved and lived with an adoring father but awful mother. When he dies she leaves home and finally ends up in the town near where she was found. She decides to open a tea shop which sounds such a fantastic idea! She employs the "the two rudest waitresses in Yorkshire" which works! Everyone will want them!Anyway, she meets a lovely family who helps her to settle and make her feel part of a family. There are a couple of twists in the story which makes it even more of a good read. Great book which I was sad to finish!

Alice was abandoned as a tiny baby but was found in time and adopted. Her father was a lovely man but when he dies her adopted mother makes it very plain that she never wanted her in the first place. Running away Alice gets taken in by Edie in Cornwall who looks after her and teaches her to bake.

When Alice leaves Edie she goes to Scotland where she falls in love but her fiancé dies in an accident - how much bad luck can one person have! - but he leaves her an insurance policy and she decides its time to go back to her roots and buys a teashop in Yorkshire

This is a lovely story - you find out the story of Alice's mother and her reasons for why she did what she did and all the time you are rooting for Alice to get the happy ending that she deserves - a lovely warm hearted book that you expect from this author

Trisha Ashley is an auto-buy author for me. Her books are always so enjoyable and comforting. This one has to be her best yet and the twist at the end was completely unexpected. Alice was a likeable character and I was invested in finding out her backstory. The setting was evocative as usual, and I love the inclusion of recipes at the end of the book. Can't wait for Trisha's next book.

Trisha Ashley is one of my favourite authors and I was over the moon to get a copy of her latest book through NetGalley. I can’t wait to buy this now for my favourites shelf.

I was totally immersed in this book as soon as I picked it up. Alice is recovering from the loss of her partner and uses some insurance money to buy a cafe in Haworth- sight unseen. As you would expect this throws some unexpected challenges her way- but along the path to it opening as a afternoon tea emporium she meets some wonderful people and enjoys living in a beautiful if remote setting.

When she discovers that she is not going to be able to live there initially, she is very lucky to find the most adorable family who run a boarding house. I wanted to go and stay with them. They give her a really warm sense of belonging and along with seeking her advice for a teashop venture of their own- they offer a warm hug and someone to listen and help her see the cafe open as part of her vision.

We have a seemingly reluctant romance with some very endearing moments, heartwarming friendships and families and the lovely image of the cafe and searching for the perfect finishing touches.

As part of the story, Alice as an author, is using her personal history as an abandoned baby searching for clues to her early days to develop an adult fairy tale. She has returned to Haworth hoping to find her birth mother , or at least the people who found her- but do they want to be found? So we see the fairytale being written along the way and also a little insight into the way she came to be found on the moors.

The cover is so enticing and the book was just the perfect way to spend time with my evening cuppa. It made me fancy delicious sound cakes and scones- I could literally imagine myself there on opening day with the advertised ‘rudest’ waitresses in Haworth.

There are two (well three really) rather distinct stories within The Little Teashop of Lost and Found. The main focus of the whole book is Alice Rose, who is moving to Haworth, the area of west Yorkshire where she was found abandoned as a newborn. She went on to have a loving adoptive father, who spun her fairytales, and a wicked adoptive mother. After trying to find somewhere in the country where she feels she belongs, she has bought a cafe and home sight unseen in Haworth to try and put down roots.

Alice is a fabulous baker and plans to open up an afternoon tea emporium, in her new cafe, although things aren't as they seem with the property. She has a unique Yorkshire twist with her waitresses which perhaps not being a northern lass I couldn't fully appreciate, but was amusing to see. Alice is also an author, and she writes dark retellings of classic fairytales with a twist, which brings me onto the second story in the book. We get at regular intervals scenes from the book that Alice is writing. I will hold my hands up to say that I'm never much of a fan of the book within a book concept and barely even skimmed those sections, so if you want to know how much they add, please check out other people's reviews.

The third main storyline is from the person who left Alice up on the Yorkshire Moors when she was a baby. In short segments between chapters, we learn a lot and I found it to be a fascinating thread to the book, even if I felt that the person was clearly cold hearted and felt barely human.

Alice through a stroke of luck ends up being absorbed by a rather large family the Giddings, and when she isn't renovating the tea emporium, or writing her next book, she is spending a lot of her time with the various members of that family, including her neighbour, the gorgeous Niles.

I really enjoyed the whole of The Little Teashop of Lost and Found and found it to be entertaining, although the story of Alice's search for her birth mother and sense of feeling that she wants to belong somewhere. I loved reading about Alice's early life, which gave a good grounding to her background.

I also loved the setting of this book including the Yorkshire Moors, and although I couldn't put my finger on them, I'm fairly positive there were some recurring characters popping up from Trisha Ashley's previous books, at least there was a least one thing hinted at that felt very familiar to me.

This is easily one of my favourite Trisha Ashley novels, and found it to be an engaging read.

Thank you so much to Rosie Margesson at Transworld for this copy of the book which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

The book started a little bit slow, but soon picked up pace.

Enjoyed the setting of Haworth and was one of the reasons why I chose to read the book.

The Giddings family came to life and were a welcome addition to the characters of Nile and Alice. Alice has a lot going on and is a feisty character. Loved the panto baddie of Mrs M and the rudest waitresses in Yorkshire.

A book full of atmosphere and character. Would have been 5 stars, but had to be 4 stars because of the beginning.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read and review a copy of this book.

I absolutely loved The Little tea shop of lost and found.
It took me a few chapters to fully appreciate the style of writing as I couldn't work out who was writing/narrating the short paragraphs written in italic. But once I realised it was Alice's birth mum then it all made sense.

Trisha takes you on a journey of discovery and mystery.

Alice has had a rough start in life. She is abandoned on the moors just a few hours old. Luckily for her she's found just in time and becomes adopted.
She adores her father, but he becomes ill and passes away leaving her with her adopted Mother who makes no bones in making it clear she never wanted her.

Alice does no more and runs away to Cornwall. She is befriended by Edie. Who takes her in and teaches her life skills to survive. Including baking.

Eventually Alice decides to set of to Scotland where she falls head over heels in love.
 But tragedy strikes again and he dies climbing a rock which he's done so many times before.
Alice is absolutely heartbroken and goes into deep depression.
Edie takes her in and gets her well again.

Alice is an Author and she's finds her passion to write again.

But something is missing. She feels empty and needs to find her birth mother or at least try and find out her story.
So she decides to buy a cafe from a lady off of Facebook.. ..... I ask you what could possibly go wrong????
Surely it's all legit and above board... isn't it???

Alice meets Nile who owns the antique shop across the way.
He smart, sexy, witty, Moody, but has a big soft heart, underneath he's playboy exterior and has a sizzling chemistry with Alice.
He introduces Alice to he's Adopted family.
They warm to Alice straight away and make her part of their family very quickly.

But is there something about this family that's hiding a secret?
Can Alice ever feel settled?
Will Fat Rascals be a resounding success?
Will she ever find her birth mother?
Will she ever fall in love again?

To find out your just going to have to give it a read!!  You won't be disappointed!!

There is great little twists to keep you hooked till the very end.
I was hooked after the first few chapters and was willing Alice some happiness.

Everything she loves just kept on breaking.
Alice is so so strong and Courageous even when she was at rock bottom she took a leap of faith and went with her heart and bought fat rascals.

There is something for everyone.
This book contains mystery, romance, humour, friendship, family bonds, determination and strength, sadness and a few twists and turns.

Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and can honestly say I'm so glad I stuck with it and the writing eventually made sense.

The only very slight critiscm I have and it is only slight, was the length of the story in regards to Fat Rascals.
I would of loved less preparation time/refurbishment story and more tales of the cafe.
More of the rude waitresses.

However that wasn't really an issue more of a personal preference.
Although Trisha may of been keeping the cafe stories short for a reason as maybe book 2 could be a possibility!

I was so excited to get the chance to review Trisha's latest book I have been buying her books for quite a few years now. Alice Rose is the heroine who seems to have lurched from one tragedy to the next. Having been abandoned as a baby on the moors above Haworth. She decides to move to Haworth buy a very rundown cafe and try and trace her family. Has some great twists and turns and when you think you know what's happening there is another twist absolutely great read and was desperate for afternoon tea while reading.

I am a big fan of anything Trisha Ashley writes and this is no exception. The only bit that I wasn't too keen on was the fairytale that Alice was writing running alongside - it might be me missing something, but I didn't get any connection with the storyline. It seemed a little unrelated which I was sad about. I also found the love story between Alice and Nile to be missing a little something too - The engagement was a surprise and quite a jump considering they hadn't really been dating. I'd have liked them to have been more clear! But I still wanted them to end up together, and I was pleased when they did. I liked the whole storyline (I'm a sucker for a tea shop story!). The Giddings family were lovely and it was so well written that I felt I was really there sitting down to a family meal with them. I loved the link Alice ended up having with them and their house sounded gorgeous. All together it was another lovely book from Trisha and I'll be writing a more indepth blog review of it in the next few days. Thank you for the chance to read and review this!
