About the author

Daisy James is a Yorkshire girl transplanted to the north east of England. She loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plotlines.

When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter.

Her husband and young son were willing samplers of her baking creations which were triple-tested for her debut novel, The Runaway Bridesmaid. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of something pink and fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea – china plates and teacups are a must.

My Review

I enjoyed the previous novel, Sunshine and secrets, and wondered how this one could possibly follow it. However, I'm pleased to say it is just as enjoyable if not more so. The food that is produced has such a chocolatey Caribbean feel that I am immediately transported there and craved a rum punch in accompaniment. There is much mayhem and confusion in this book and of course, we see how the relationship between Millie and Zach develops. When his ex-girlfriend returns to the scene, however, things are sure to be put on the back burner. is there hope for the two of them? Read the book and find out.
