More Life as a Dog by L.A Davenport

Summer at the Little Duck Pond Cafe- Rosie Green

Jaz has been thrown out by Grant going so far as to leave her a packed suitcase on the

lawn when she returned home from shopping on Christmas eve all because she said

she was falling out of love with hi the day before having discovered he is back

gambling. She now has to find not only somewhere to live but a way of staying in

contact with Titch, Grant’s daughter whom she got on with so well. She has some

savings and starts to do exercise classes to boost her finances but needs something

more. One thing leads to another and Jaz is not only waitressing a the cafe but also

as a tour guide around a local stately home and being called Georginia as part of

the bargain. This is one of those nice summer reads that you smile at without

knowing it and hence you feel good. This is part two of a series of three but happily

stands alone. Larger than life characters such as “Mr Darcy” entering the lake

which you can’t help but smile at (whilst imaging it- or at least trying to!) ,

a little romance, cake and animals- you can’t really go wrong!

An uplifting, highly enjoyable read.

Summer at The Little Duck Pond Café Jaz Winters stuck a pin in a map and fled to the village of Sunnybrook, looking for a brand

new life – and after a rocky start, it’s beginning to look as if she made the right decision.

Her blossoming friendship with Ellie and Fen has seen her through some dark times,

and she’s managed to land two jobs – waitress at The Little Duck Pond Café and working

as a weekend tour guide at Brambleberry Manor, the country house that’s been in

Fen’s family for generations. Sure, life isn’t totally perfect. There’s the irritating know-it-all guy who keeps

popping up on her manor tours, for a start. He seems determined to get under

Jaz’s skin whether she likes it or not. But she supposes it’s a small price to pay for

the relative peace she’s found, living in Sunnybrook. But just as Jaz is beginning to think rosier times are on the horizon, a shock

encounter looks set to shatter her fragile happiness. Will she be forced to flee from Sunnybrook and everyone she’s grown so fond

of? Or will she find the strength to stand her ground and finally face up to the

nightmares of the past?

This novella is part of a trilogy:

Author Bio Rosie Green has been scribbling stories ever since she was little. Back then they were

rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff

or being tied up by ‘the baddies’. Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now

much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile,

with really not much perilous danger involved at all, unless you count the heroine

losing her heart in love. Rosie’s brand new series of novellas is centred on life in a village café. Summer

at The Little Duck Pond Café, published on 18th June 2018, follows the first in the

series, Spring at The Little Duck Pond Café.
