I’ve savoured this book a little bit as I didn’t want this series to end! I’ve loved reading the third instalment of the Pudding Pantry series. You can read them as standalone books, but I’ve enjoyed reading them in order. I love the characters and Rachel’s family. Hers and Tom’s communication irked me a little bit, but they got their predicted happy ending. Keeping fingers crossed there’s another book in this series, but a lovely ending to it if not. Thank you for accepting my request to review this fab book

My review:'⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is third book in Rachel's Pudding Pantry series. This is a sweet romance with lots of baking recipes throughout.

It was good to see the resolution of a series I've been reading for a while! It has quite a cosy feel, even if it is set in the summer! The other two have had a feel of cold weather.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to One More Chapter.

This is the first Pudding Pantry book I’ve read and I loved it. Based on a farm in a close knit community Rachel run a cafe with her mum whilst holding down farm responsibilities and being mum to Maisy. Rachel is planning her wedding to Tom who lives in the farm next door and has known him the whole of her life. Then the wandering ex, Maisie’s dad turns up again with Maisy inviting him to the wedding. The book describes the planning and issues they come across all leading to a happy ending.

A smile a minute. A bit predictable bit enjoyable nonetheless. A lovely follow-up to book one. Would recommend for a light read.

Lighthearted sequel to the pudding pantry .The story of Rachael and Tom"s planned wedding g was cosy uplifting and great for escaping the real world. Enough grit and fleshed out characters for it not to get cloying. I await the next book when hopefully I will be on holiday to read it .

I received a digital arc of this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Well this was an emotionally charged book! I was in tears towards the end! A great book in this series - hopefully we'll get to see more of Rachel, Tom and Maisy and everyone else again very soon.

Summer at Rachels Pudding Pantry by Caroline Roberts was a fab book in the series. It was great to meet up with Rachel, Tom and the rest of the characters and find out what had happened since we last visited Primrose Farm. Read this book in a day, I could not put it down.

This book is the third book in the Pudding Pantry series, a stand-alone book but definitely enjoyed more if you have read the previous two.
The characters are real and extremely relatable
This is a lovely cosy romantic read, perfect for a few hours escape from the real world.
Thank you to Netgalley, Harper Collins and Caroline Roberts for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

This book is one if a series of stories about Rachel, a farmer and owner of the Pudding Pantry. In this story, we join Rachel as she prepares to marry neighbouring farmer, Tom. The path of true love never runs smoothly and there are plenty of ups and downs along the way. However this is still a gentle read and stays mostly lighthearted so a great read if you’re not looking for something too challenging.
There are plenty of recipes for sweet treats included, which is a lovely addition and adds an extra element of engagement to the story.

The characters are all very likeable, and the story in this book is really eventful, so much is happing and it's even a bit stressful as you really don't know how this going to end! It's a page-turner! Caroline Roberts is a really good author, I really love her writing style! I cannot wait to see what will be her next book!!!!

Cosy & uplifting!

I really enjoyed catching up with Rachel and the gang. This time they are planning a wedding but it doesn't all run smoothly for the happy couple, there are some bumps in the road before the big day... Will they make it to wedded bliss?

Perfect for anyone looking for a hug in a book (be prepared for so tears along the way!).

A huge thanks to Harper Collins UK & NetGalley for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.

I love the Pudding Pantry series, they are just fabulous. The combination of gorgeous food and recipes with a wonderful, heartwarming story is perfection. By now the characters feel like old friends with this latest installment and I couldn't wait to catch up with them. The beautiful setting and the latest trials and tribulations had me racing through it and feeling bereft when I'd finished. I can't wait for more.

The third book in the series and I loved it almost as much as the previous two. Perhaps it was my state of mind but I became wearied with all the upset of the farmer’s first wife and his foolishness in not keeping Rachel in the picture! I didn’t find it as light hearted as the first two but still enjoyed it!

loved the latest instalment to the Pudding Pantry series. This one is full of wedding preparations and as everyone knows, weddings can get complicated. This is a joyous read with all the familiar characters and one or two surprises along the way. Family and friendship are all there.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of the book

I've enjoyed my two previous visits to Primrose Farm, and was of course curious what else will happen with Tom & Rachel and the rest of the family. The two lovebirds are just about to tie the knot, and some problems arise along the way. But nothing that cannot be solved, this is a very 'cosy chick-lit' so to say. Everyone is overly polite and endearing, pet names (and I'm not talking about the animals on the farm) in every other sentence and constantly thanking someone - all that irked me a bit because it seems to outdated and most of all way overdone here. I imagined the author to be a woman way past her middle age. But according to the short bio and photo you can find online she is not.

However, I like the characters and their story, therefore I'll probably continue to read this series. I just would appreciate some freshness, some humorous quips or something here and there.

What is there not to love about this book. It followed in beautifully from the last book and the characters are like old friends. I'm keeping everything crossed for a new Christmas one

This is the first book I have read from Caroline Roberts and though I missed the first two in the series, I got to know the characters quickly and could easily follow along with where everyone was up to and what had previously happened in their lives. There was a lovely warmth within the Pudding Pantry. I very much enjoyed learning about Rachel's farm and being at the pantry with her and her Mum. I wanted to eat everything they made and I simply adore the name of the place too. It was so cute how they had their regular customers and conversations, there was just this really cosy, happy vibe about the place. I loved Rachel's friends so much. It was incredibly heart-warming how they all came together to help with her wedding. I adored the descriptions of her wedding dress too and thought it was so special how her friend made it. Their bonds were beautiful. I got very sad at times with the ups and downs that came before getting married and wanted her and Tom to talk more but this is a wonderful romantic and cosy read that I highly recommend you pick up this Summer.
