This is part 3 of the serialisation of The Cornish Cream Tea Bus. I would recommend reading all 4 books in order as they do lead on from each other, or you could just read the complete book in one go! Leading on from part 2, we're still in Porthgolow with Charlie and Gertie, her old London bus. Charlie's plans are slowly working out, but she finds herself in a dilemma over her feelings for two of her admirers. Who will win Charlie's heart?...I'll just have to wait for the final part of the story to find out!! I was, as in the previous 2 parts of the story, treated not only to the delights of the Cornish coastline but also the tasty treats served on Charlie's bus!! Would definitely recommend!!

Charlie is just such a sweetheart and I want to join her on her vintage bus and eat cake and drink tea and fall in love with Cornwall all over again. This book was just as good as the previous two, and I enjoyed it so much. I will be buying all of these books in paperback, as I do with the best books I read on my kindle.

It's been a while since I read the first 2 installments of this series but the story soon came back to me. Great to catch up with all the characters and living the whole love triangle thing. Onto the last part......

This is a lovely, summery treat of a story! Cressida writes wonderful, warm characters and idyllic settings that you fall in love with! And who doesn't love a vintage bus and a scone??

Another episode of the Cornish Cream Tea Bus.
Just loved it and all it characters that we have met previously

A very fun series! All of the elements i love in good, British, chick lit!

**OMG! I cannot believe that these reviews haven't been done! I am so sorry they are so late!!!**

I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. Great characters and a great plot line. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

love a cliff hanger! This book has a beauty. The action is really ramping up through this series. More cake, more Gertie, more Cornish scenery and a big dollop of love angst. Definitely worth reading. Can’t wait for the final instalment.

Thank you Netgalley

In the next part of the book, Charlie has to confront her true feelings for Oliver and Daniel especially when it seems one might have a wandering eye and not been honest with her alike she with them but only worse...



We also see how she plans to tour her bus around now and begins to trial her plans too!



Ooh the adventure in Cornwall continues to grow more and more dramatic, Cressida keeps us all in suspense I need the fourth part right now!



Another fun, wondrous part in this story!



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

This is part 3 of the Cornish Cream Tea Bus series and I was very much looking forward to catching up with Charlie and her Cream Tea Bus after reading the first two books in the series.

I’m pleased to say this didn’t disappoint and I got to know the characters of Porthgolow in more detail and misunderstandings and twists and turns kept me wanting more.

I have to admit Charlie annoyed me on occasions with her paranoia and jumping to conclusions but this was part of the reason I enjoyed the book as it stirred my emotions.

I love the fact that individually these are pretty quick reads but they leave you wanting more.

Relaxing, lighthearted read with great characters.

I’m loving this series, the characters are interesting and although parts I can predict coming, I did not predict Oliver! Sly dog!! I never like to spoil a book so I don’t want to give the story away but definitely a great series!

"Scones Away" is the third part in the uplifting, wonderful series from Cressida McLaughlin, full of delicious descriptions of food and characters that I've immediately warmed to. Charlie is still full of ideas for her Cornish Cream Tea Bus Gertie but this time, ladies and gentlemen, our lovely Charlie annoyed me a little, jumping to conclusions instead of letting people speak or simply thinking things over - too much and too often for my liking. Not everyone in the world is against you, Charlie!

This time Charlie is entangled in a blossoming love triangle and it was so interesting to see which of her two admirers she's going to choose, as they were so different! One of them open and honest, which is just what she needs, what with her trust issues, and the other not so easy to read but there is such sparkling chemistry between them! What is it going to be for Charlie, head or heart? Porthgolow finally seems to start accepting Charlie and her bus and it was lovely to have this heart - warming community spirit back and the locals enjoying her baking. The author has - again - created a world that I want to be a part of and try the famous cream tea. And I loved the idea of the tour that Charlie plans to establish with her bus, just imagine all the beautiful sights of the gorgeous Cornwall with the added bonus of Charlies's brilliant food. But I also had a feeling that this time this part was not as filled with events and surprises as the previous two parts, and it dragged a little, but it's still a warm, colourful read that I enjoyed, no worries!

This part ends, of course, on a cliff hanger and I can't wait to see how everything comes together at the end, and which surprises are awaiting us in the final instalment - with so many plot twists I am sure that Cressida McLaughlin has many revelations for us.

I’m still really enjoying where the book is going! The plot thickens and the characters are still developing! Excited to see how it ends.

Thanks to netgalley for a copy of this book.

This is the 3rd instalment of the Cornish cream tea bus and it didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to read the final instalment and see how the story ends.

I have absolutely loved this series of books. I have never read a book in 4 parts before but it was a nice way of doing it. I was lucky enough to have been able to read all 4 parts.

Charlie inherits a routemaster bus from her uncle Hal and she turns it into a mobile cream tea cafe. She lives in Ross on Wye but is persuaded to move down to Cornwall to go and live with her best friend Juliette whilst she figures out what she wants to do.

She gets her bus done up and finds some resistance from locals, and has a few run ins with the local boutique hotel owner Daniel.

Will it all work out? You will have to read it. I loved it so much and went and bought every other book the author has written.

The 3rd part in the series. The Cornish countryside comes to life in this book. I feel as though I'm there. Charlie and the owner of the big hotel on the hill Daniel Harper keep coming to blows even though there seems to be something that attracts them to each other

The Cornish Cream Tea Bus. Part 3. Scones Away was another great instalment in this series. I lapped it up from the first few pages and I just have to know how it will all end.

Cressida has the ability to create a world that I want to visit, this series has made me desperate for a visit to Cornwall and sit in the sunshine with a cream tea. Such a feel good read, would recommend to anyone who needs a pick me up

I have been loving this mini series and had been waiting for this book, the third book in the series, Scones Away to be released!

I thought that it was a good follow on as the story picks up straight from where the second 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. The book was lovely to read, easy to follow and it is 5 stars from me for this one and really looking forward to reading the fourth and final part!

This series is addictive. Now I know the characters and have experienced the numerous plot twists, I can't wait to read the final part.

Charlie is embroiled in a tentative love triangle with her two admirers, one seems open and honest, just what she needs, but the chemistry is lacking. Her other admirer is not so easy to read, but the air crackles between them, whenever they are together. Can she take a chance, or will he let her down, and destroy her fledgeling business?

Charlie's is still recovering from her boyfriend's duplicity and has trust issues. Her head says one thing, her heart something different, who if either of them will she choose?

The Cornish Cream Tea Bus venture expands and seems to be going from strength to strength, as the community finally seems to accept her and her bus.

This penultimate part is full of emotions. Anger and passion, threaten to overshadow Charlie's professional success. Just when she believes she knows who she wants and can trust, her plans are threatened again. Can she trust the man she is falling in love with or not?

Just off to read the final part now, so I can see if my suspicions are correct.

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