About this listen
Rosa Larkin is down on her luck in London, so when she inherits a near-derelict corner shop in a quaint Devon village, her first thought is to sell it for cash and sort out her life. But nothing is straightforward about this legacy. While the identity of her benefactor remains a mystery, he - or she - has left one important legal proviso: that the shop cannot be sold, only passed on to somebody who really deserves it.
Rosa makes up her mind to give it a go: to put everything she has into getting the shop up and running again in the small seaside community of Cockleberry Bay. But can she do it all on her own? And if not, who will help her succeed - and who among the following will work secretly to see her fail?
There is a handsome rugby player, a sexy plumber, a charlatan reporter and a selection of meddling locals. Add in a hit-and-run incident and the disappearance of a valuable engraved necklace, and what you get is a journey of self-discovery and unpredictable events. With surprising and heartfelt results, Rosa, accompanied at all times by her sausage dog Hot, will slowly unravel the shadowy secrets of the inheritance and also bring her own long-hidden heritage into the light.

An Unusual Start for the Story
My gosh. There were many characters to be sorted out in this narrative, some of them not who they appeared to be on first impressions. Phew. However, making lifetime friends and finding family brought the story together. I liked the approach.

Entertaining
I really enjoyed this change of pace for an otherwise predictable Rom Com. With enough twists & turns in the plot to keep it interesting and a lot more of a contemporary portrayal of the characters it was an easy listening diversion to accompany some mindless housework.

Idyllic story in a great setting.
The voice of Rosa sounded too much like a very young child but the story was good and Rosa’s voice became a bit less childlike towards the end. Like many stories the ending was a bit rushed but answered the questions I had along the way.

Penny Andrews has the most annoying voice!!
I disliked everything about this, it was so cringey! The cliché Cockney main character, the horrible pronunciation and narration. Thank God it was free!

Very annoying
The story had some good moments but overall it was awful. The performance was also very annoying. Just a lot of getting drunk and doing regrettable things. A pity as the bones of the story could have been good.
