She and Nonna take a trip to Italy, and as they visit the gorgeous town on the Amalfi coast where Rosie’s grandmother grew up, they have the opportunity to put some family secrets to rest – with a few unexpected discoveries along the way! This is an addictive book, that is quick to read and will leave you craving your next Cathy Bramley fix. Rosie is hiding a terribly upsetting secret from everyone, and soon decides that it's time to come clean and let those closest to her know what happened to her all those years ago. I found that whenever I had a spare moment that I was running to grab this book and read more about what is going on in Rosie and her nonna's lives.

The Lemon Tree Cafe Bistro is a casual, informal eatery offering personal service and great homemade food that is a notch above the rest! But with Nonna blind to the truth and angry at the idea of anyone interfering, the two are soon at loggerheads.I was loving the warmth and vitality that the author brings to her characters, and just stepping into this novel felt like a comforting hug. Which delights me terribly as I had some issues with her last novel and to be absolutely honest I was afraid how I'm going to like this book.

Neither did I fully guess just why Rosie doesn't trust men, and it was surprises like these that made this book so gripping. I just can't have enough of Cathy Bramley's writing, her storytelling, quirky characters and beautiful settings, and with this book she has fulfilled all of my expectations.But delving into the past gets Rosie thinking about her own… Can she finally unburden her heart and tell Gabe her biggest secret? Tucked away just off the high street, this cafe offers the perfect place to stop off and enjoy some food.

I just hope that Miss Bramley is not turning into the second Paige Toon and all of her future books will be like this.Coleen Prendagast 's narrating adds to the warmth of the book , her clever use of voices gives each character their individuality. The Lemon Tree Café is a charming and heart-warming story that will make you laugh but that will surprise you too. Her nonna is Italian and has her own past to deal with along with Rosie having hers to but a good looking guy comes into her life and can she work through her issues to be happy with him or is it just to much. I mean, I want my hero to appear on the pages more than Gabe appeared, so the end felt so pushed and rushed and I wondered, when did they really have time to fell in love?
