The perfect summer romance for a sunny afternoon and a picnic in the park

We follow the ups and downs of Emily Reed, a hardworking and independent woman, who devastated after having  lost her promotion to Tara her co-worker who’s sleeping with the boss, her mother drops a devastating bombshell—the dad she’s known and loved for twenty-five years isn’t her biological father!

I’d rather do the eating trial from I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here than force down a fry-up.

The Sunflower Cottage Breakfast Club is a funny and witty novel that throws you straight into Emily's drama from the very beginning.

Although this is a second book in a series (something I hadn't even realised when I first started reading it!) it works perfectly as a stand-alone book as I didn't feel like I was missing any information or background not having read the first.

Along with her hilarious chum Frankie, I loved Emily's sarcastic and straightforward tone which really eased me through this wonderfully magical romance as Emily has to choose between busy life in Glasgow and her newfound love of Luna Bay, a little village in Yorkshire.

'Derek Simpson is your biological father.’

With that, my neat and ordered world slipped and crumbled around me.

"Setting up the Sunflower Cottage breakfast club should be a great way to meet the locals and maybe even find out who her father is! The only problem is that brooding and insanely gorgeous, Noah, is determined to make Emily’s stay perfectly uncomfortable.

Finding out the truth was never going to be simple, but she never thought her heart would get in the way…"

A delightful book full of warmth and humour that is perfect for a cosy afternoon

Thank you Netgalley for a copy For an honest review

I enjoyed this book at the start but then unfortunately it started to fall flat and I quickly lost interest in what was happening.

Luna Bay is a magical place for me. I adored reading The Broken Hearts Book Club and was excited to see how Lynsey could bring other characters to life in the setting of Luna Bay.

Emily has a nightmare day at work, only to be made even worse by the revelation that the man she thought was her father isn’t actually her biological father. Struggling with this, she decides to find answers, heading to Luna Bay (the last place her mother heard he was living) and trying to do some work whilst there – landing the Sunflower Cottage B&B for her companies portfolio.

Emily was a little hard to like at first, she came across as a workaholic and very uptight at times. However this served to work well in her first few interactions with Noah – she was uptight, he was super rude even if it was because he was worried about Rose and the future of the B&B. As time went on though, I found myself warming to the two of them especially once they decided to set up the breakfast club whilst Rose was recuperating.

Towards the end of the book, I was willing Emily to stay in Luna Bay once her month was up and I felt her anguish at trying to decide what to do. I really enjoyed reading all about Emily and her journey and hope to see her pop up in the next book which I am eagerly anticipating already!

5/5 from me!
