Alison Starnes's Reviews > A Little in Love

Vicar's daughter Rose Pedal starts a business called Pedals and Prosecco, selling ice-cold fizz from a vintage bicycle, but on the way to a wedding fayre is nearly knocked off her bicycle by the dashing James Blume of Blume's Florists.

Despite initially disliking him, Rose becomes increasingly smitten with James, but problems arise when a rival business starts up and James appears to be implicated. Then James's father, Geoffrey, and twin brother, Peter, are less than hospitable, making Rose doubt James's sincerity.

With help from her best friend, Megan, and her parents, Rose is determined to make her business a success, but has she jumped too hastily to conclusions where James is concerned?

This was a light-hearted and easy read from Florence Keeling, with a likeable main character and plenty of chuckles throughout. You will end up rooting for Rose and wanting her to get the best outcome.

I also liked the friends Rose makes along the way who all rally around her, enabling her to keep going despite the setbacks she encounters.

This would be a perfect holiday read, best enjoyed with a glass of Prosecco!

I received an ARC of this book from Simon & Schuster UK, in return for an honest appraisal.
