I have adored this series and would love Cressida to return there one day. Such a feel-good, heartwarming read that doesn’t fail to put a smile on your face. Outstanding!

I’m sad now I’ve read the final part of this lovely, coastal series, it ties up all the loose ends and just when you think everything is going to work out for Charlie, because of her hard work and willingness to learn to trust again, there is a final breathtaking twist.

The story begins where part three finished. Will ‘The Cornish Cream Tea Bus’, survive, and who wants it to fail? At the start of the series, there are lots of people who might want Charlie to fail, but at this point in the story, the perpetrators are much fewer in number, thanks to Charlie’s kindness and tenacity. When the guilty party is revealed it isn’t a surprise, but it’s good to have your suspicions confirmed.

Charlie’ s romantic future seems brighter, but what happens after the Summer? The final twist is heartstopping and the resolution is perfect.

I enjoyed my time in Porthgolow and I hope the author may take us back there again? A lovely coastal romantic story, with some good unique elements, and complex, relatable characters, the perfect beach read.

I received a copy of this book from HarperCollins UK = Harper Fiction via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I absolutely adored this series and the final part is the best of all of the,. Completely addictive, didn’t want to put it down, tension, drama, emotion and a happy end. What more could you want. Cressida is amazing she always manages to make me fall in love with the characters, the villages and stories. If you haven’t picked up a book by her I thoroughly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed and you’ll leave a lift happier.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I have been loving this mini series and had been waiting for this book, the final book in the series, The Icing on the Cake to be released!

I thought that it was a good follow on as the story picks up straight from where the third book ended and I loved being able to catch up with the characters. I thought that the story flowed really well and I really like this author's writing style. I have enjoyed this series so much that I will definitely be looking to get my hands on what she releases next and may have to treat myself to some of the books she has already released!!

The book was lovely to read, easy to follow and it is 5 stars from me for this one!!

I have now actually read the whole series, and this is a fabulous story! I loved it from start to finish, and hope there will be more tales of Gertie and co in the future.

A great final act for this series. I enjoyed it, rooted for the characters and was a bit sad when it ended.
It's a great summer read.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Part four of this series, and a great conclusion to the book, with some added drama, will they won't they get together and will Charlie and Gertie be staying in Cornwall?
