Publisher's Summary
Cosy up with a mug of hot chocolate for some festive sparkle from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Jessica Redland.
Everyone is getting into the festive spirit on Castle Street - snow is falling, fairy lights are glistening and Christmas shopping is underway.
But for Tara Porter, owner of thriving cafe, The Chocolate Pot, this is the most difficult time of the year. From the outside, Tara is a successful businesswoman and pillar of the community. Behind closed doors, she is lonely.
With a lifetime of secrets weighing on her shoulders, she has retreated from all friends, family and romance, and shut her real self away from the world. Afterall, if you don't let them in, they can't hurt you. She's learnt that the hard way.
But as the weight of her past becomes heavier and an unexpected new neighbour moves onto the street - threatening the future of her cafe - Tara begins to realise that maybe it's time to finally let people back in and confront her history. It could just change her life forever...
Starry Skies Over The Chocolate Pot Café is a standalone novel, but best enjoyed after Christmas at Carly's Cupcakes.

Accents need to be better
A nice story bringing together the characters from previous books. Jed’s Australian accent was horrendous and the use of really outdated Aussie slang was annoying which detracted from the listening experience.

Book review
The accent was a bit grating to start with, especially Maria, but I soon warmed up to the story. Jed’s voice needed to be more charismatic but the overall premise made it a good listen.

Loved it!
I do agree that the narrator was hard to get used to at first but I happily finished the book. I got used to the different voice and I grew to love it because it made the characters voices different to some in the other books.
Another great story!! I will be continuing the series <3

Terrible accents make this a difficult listen
Easy going story with endearing characters and uncomplicated plot set in a small English seaside town

Nice story, but a little cringeworthy to Aussies
Firstly, the narrator was so so. Her Aussie accents were not the best. The audio editor made this worse in some places with some very slap-dash editing.
Secondly, if the author is endeavouring to assert that a character lived in Australia for 14 years, then perhaps it would be wise to research how real, every-day local Australians speak, rather than relying upon a stereotypical caricature. Some of the dialogue was the equivalent of running nails down a chalkboard!

Warm, fuzzy story
A light hearted read which I enjoyed The kind of easy read that would be good for holiday listening.
Loved descriptions of cafe events and food. And a little romance never hurt anyone.

Horrible voices
Holy hell. This narrator is horrendous to listen to, and her Australian accent is not ok. And why does the Maria character sound like a man?!

Excellent
I always laugh when people put on an Australian accent. Do we really sound like that. That aside this book and storyline was awesome. It was an encouraging story of how when tragic circumstances come our way we try and hide and be hermits. When trust is broken it is hard to put it back in place. It took me a few chapters to get used to the narration but I didn’t find it that bad. Great story and looking forward to the next one.
