Description

Escape to the dreamy canals of Copenhagen this summer! ☀️

Can summer love last forever?

Milly is reeling from a recent heartbreak when she’s offered the chance to go to Copenhagen for a gorgeous summer and help revive an idyllic, but struggling, cafe on the canal. She jumps at the chance for fun drama-free, solo summer floating along the Danish canals.

The only problem with her plan? Theo: the café's beautiful but brooding chef who challenges her at every turn.

As they work together and their fiery connection grows, Milly wonders if she might have finally found everything she’s been looking for. Their sizzling attraction is undeniable, but Milly and Theo have both been hurt before, and Milly worries that their carefully guarded hearts might be closed to love forever.

As summer draws to a close, Milly must decide, will she fight for their relationship or retreat to her carefully curated life in England?

Lose yourself in the latest destination escapist romance, perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin and Julie Caplin.

I've enjoyed this series!

This was a beautiful read about an unfulfilled and stuck young woman who leaves Milton Keynes, England, to help a friend run her cafe in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I loved how she embraced the Hygge lifestyle and chose to prioritize a happy life over a comfortable one. I appreciated her advice to slow down, savour moments, enjoy the simple things, and focus more on living every moment rather than rushing and working too much. I also liked the advice when travelling to think like a local and not a tourist.

I was a little concerned when her old life ‘found’ her in Copenhagen, but was thankful she had enough 'living properly' under her belt that she could verbalize what she wanted with conviction.

I was gifted this copy and was under no obligation to provide a review.

This book was so sweet! I am loving this series! Previously I had read the Floating Amsterdam Bookshop. Having traveled to both Copenhagen AND Amsterdam, it was such a nostalgic, sweet return to those places! I loved the descriptions of the city and food, etc., Milly would have been bananas not to jump at the chance to go to Denmark for a summer. I loved Milly and Theo's chemistry, and felt like it was such a fun read overall!

A sweet romance about finding happiness and second chances. I enjoyed the romance as well as the foodie themes. The descriptions of Copenhagen make me feel like I was there and make we want to visit!

Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. I really enjoyed French's last book, so was delighted to be granted an ARC of "The Floating Copenhagen Cafe.'. I loved it. I was immersed in the Danish setting thanks to French's vivid writing and I was invested in Milly's quest to reset her life. Although I wasn't that fussed about her relationship with Theo, as he blew so hot and cold, I was pleased with the ending. Also, Ada was great. I look forward to the next book by this author.

I have enjoyed other books by the author and The Floating Copenhagen Café certainly didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed this book, the author's writing was so good that sometimes I forgot that I was reading and was swept away with the characters in Copenhagen. This was the perfect summer read. The story was cute and easy to follow and I loved Milly and Theo's characters and I wanted them to have their happy ending. Plus it was brilliantly paced, had beautiful place settings and a great cast of background characters. Overall a brilliant novel that I can't recommend enough. I'm already eager to see what the author writes next.
💝 Thank you to Avon books, the author Annabelle French and Netgalley for my e arc copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Review-
The Floating Copenhagen Cafe is the perfect cozy destination romance when you need an escape. From the cobblestone streets, canals, and delicious food, the author sweeps you away to a magical destination. I am obsessed with the Danish culture of Hygge and loved how Milly embraced this way of living. I loved Milly and Theo and can’t recommend this atmospheric novel enough! This is Book 3 in the Floating Shop series but each book can be read as a standalone. Can’t wait to see what’s next. A gorgeous summer read!

Thank you Avon Books, the author Annabel French and Netgalley for my eARC copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I absolutely loved this book, so much so I ended up reading it slowly as I didn't want it to end 🤣 I've thoroughly enjoyed being transported to Copenhagen & living a hygge life! I love all things Hygge so it was lovely watching Milly discovering what it meant for her.
This is the third Floating book in the series & all can be read alone. Definitely one for your TBR!

Another amazing story set on the water, once I started I was all in and just wanted to keep reading and learning more about these wonderful characters and what had bought them all to these key points in their lives.

A story full of warmth, love and the desire to live life fully and be truly happy

Adored this! I’ve loved every one in this series (I don’t want them to end!) but they can all be read as stand alone too.

This is a perfect read to get swept away in. The characters were written so vividly and the scenery it was a perfect mix. I enjoy Milly and Theo as characters and the undeniable chemistry. The background characters were also written fantastically and they were all stars of the show.

Overall another wonderful, captivating read from Annabel. Pick this up if you want to be transported to another country but can’t afford the flights! Any 3 of the books in this series are incredibly well written so go and treat yourself!

First of all this book has a beautiful cover. That should catch your attention and then the story will grab you and hold onto you until you reach the last page. I loved Milly and Theo and their relationship but what I loved more was Copenhagen and the exploration of hygge. I loved it and now I want to go there!

Firstly thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

Milly goes to Copenhagen for a break from her life in England, having just broken up with her boyfriend of 4 years. She goes to stay at her friend Ava's apartment, which she shares with Theo. Theo is the co-owner of a cafe with Ava, which needs some help getting customers in. This is a cosy story of how making small changes can lead to big ones. Loved this story and have enjoyed other books by the same author.

Milly is getting over a break up when her friend Ada asks if she wants to come to Copenhagen stay in her room while she goes on a photography shoot and help Theo improve on the floating Cafe.. Does she find a way for him to get more business since the cafe is at the end of the canal. and does she decide to stay when Ada decides she is going to do more photo shoots and won't be using her room all that much. A VERY GOOD READ as are all this author's books.

Review of ARC received from publisher and NetGalley.

I really enjoyed this one. Great premise and really well executed. I felt as if I was in Copenhagen myself, exploring and enjoying everything that there was on offer.. I thought the characters were very real with human flaws and weaknesses as well as excellent qualities. A lovely, emotionally satisfying read.
