About this listen
When Lily McDermott walks in to find her husband of just three months in bed with a famous actress, life as she knows it is over. Lily thinks things can't get any worse when she sees photos of her husband and his new lover splashed across the glossy magazine pages, but when she loses her job, too, she is at her lowest ebb and turns to baking to soothe her soul.
Wounded and broken, she has to try to pick herself up again with the help of her best friend, Frankie. With her encouragement, Lily decides to turn her hobby into a business and sets up Baked with Love. However, whatever Lily does, it seems disaster soon ensues....
When a handsome stranger comes to her rescue, Lily isn't quite ready to turn her back on her marriage. Can she risk opening her heart again, or is she destined to allow Marc to overshadow her life forever?

The main character is infuriating
The premise of the story sounded inspiring for the main character. Life reset, new goals, says goodbye to old life, finds her purpose/passion. But she never seems to learn, grow or stand up for herself. Her naivety, people pleasing and giddiness is distracting. I continually stop listening. It’s one step forward, five steps back for the character. I keep giving the book another chance hoping she’ll change but I don’t think I can finish this title.

Great easy listening!
Great book with good performances all round but particularly from Aiofe! Could’ve strangled some characters which is evidence of being convincing and legitimate. I’m looking forward to listening to the next book in this series

Great story
This was such a great story and a lesson in how important it is to speak up and not let fear run and ruin your life. Excellent narration as well! Can’t wait to listen to the second book!

Fun Listen
East listening. A bit lighthearted romance although the main character was frustrating in her ability to make life so much more complicated than it needs to be. Good performance.

Good but…
I liked the story, but the main character is so hard to like as she is so weak, and it becomes so frustrating because it’s not believable.
I will read the next one though in the hope the character has consumed a cup of concrete and toughened up.

Is anyone as naive as Lily in real life, I hope not !!
This girl wanted a good shake to make her get a life, this book made me cross.
