Description:

Robbie MacIntyre runs a small Post Office made from a converted Station House in a village northwest of London. He is stunned when a close friend leaves him the property as an inheritance after her death.

She owned the shop and has left everything to him. Not only that but she has left the place she lived, Apple Tree Cottage, to an American – a stranger who has recently moved to Barton Hartshourn.

The sealed box that they inherit includes several rare first editions and a cookery book. Only when the secrets of the ingredients in a particular recipe are finally revealed does everything begin to make sense… and a love story that began seventy years ago is finally uncovered.

After college, Robbie wasn’t sure where he was going or what he was going to do. He had an interview for a job he didn’t really want when he got an offer he couldn’t really refuse. It turned out to be the best decision he had ever made. He was living in a beautiful building, working with people and able to work on his art pretty much whenever he wanted to. To top it off he found a once in a lifetime friend in Maggie. Over the 10 years he worked there they became so close which is why his life changed completely when she passed away. Shortly after someone came to town and moved into Maggie’s cottage. All the papers said he belonged there but nobody had met him or knew who he was. After the cottage floods due to old pipes Jason moved in with Robbie and that is when both of their lives changed forever and they learned so much about each other and the woman that brought them together from the great beyond.

This is a well written feel good story about love and loss and learning how to deal with both. I would highly recommend this story.

I am giving this a 5 out of 5 fangs.

Tales of the Curious Cookbook

It’s called comfort food for a reason.

Not much is known about the cookbook, except that years ago, the mysterious Granny B collected a set of magical recipes and wrote them down. Over the years, each book has been modified, corrected, added to, and passed down through the generations to accumulate its own unique history. The secrets behind these very special recipes are about to find their way into new hands and new lives, just when they’re needed the most.

Food created out of love casts a spell all its own, but Granny B’s recipes add a little something extra. This curious cookbook holds not only delicious food, but also the secrets of love, trust, and healing, and it’s about to work its magic once again.
