Die erste Hälfte war etwas langatmig. Zuviele Andeutungen ohne eine Idee zu geben. 4 Sterne gibt es weil die zweite Hälfte richtig gut war und es dann doch sehr viel Spaß gemacht hat zu lesen. Wer aber jetzt Kaffee und Kuchen Romantik erwartet, wird enttäuscht. Der Titel des Romans ist da etwas irreführend.

The cover is an absolute eyecatcher which shows the cosy atmosphere of the little village. "The Little Village Bakery" is a really nice story with a cute setting in the little village Honeybourne. We follow Millie who bought the old bakery and is starting her new life while escaping from her past. The story is mostly predictable but really sweet, still I had some problems with it. I found things developing too fast and I missed some depth in the story and with the characters. The book also failed to really touch me emotionally. Yeah, it's a cute story but unfortunately not more to me. Millie was a sweet person which I really liked but I had my difficulties with Dylan. There was too much change of character in a very short time and his past was only a short marginal note. I think there was a lot more potential in his character. I liked that the story didn't only concentrate on Millie and Dylan but also on other members of the village. The writing style is fast-paced and very enjoyable to read.
