The Custard Tart Cafe by the Sea
Willow has opened a custard tart cafe at the end of a popular English seaside pier. Her unique and magical spin on the Portuguese pastel de nata has customers queuing outside the door to taste them.
Tiago’s grandparents are purveyors of The Real Deal: authentic custard tarts made in the Algarve region of Portugal, where his family have been lovingly baking them for centuries. When he moves to England for a new job and chances upon Willow’s wondrous wares, he is out for war. At least that’s his intention. But when serendipity brings Willow and Tiago back together at the departures desk in Bristol airport – destination Faro – outrage isn’t the only spark that flies…
Weston-super-Mare and Portugal are about to collide!
My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sumptuous reading.
I enjoyed The Custard Tart Cafe by the Sea, immensely. Every aspect was delicious and delightful and I’m not a fan of Custard but the descriptions of the tarts and their fillings is mouth watering. I enjoyed several snacks of the baked variety along the way. It was a joy to read. I always look for the author in the characters they write and in the first few pages there she was. A perfect mash up of West Country, England and Portugal. Frank is an absolute sweetheart! Willow’s love interest and initual enemy Tiago is an utter git turned super swauve lovely. I love his dogs name and his name sake being delicately placed amongst the story. It was really lovely to see other characters from other books by the author subtly mentioned in the story to, it brings it more together. All in all May never fails to amuse, intrege and bring fun to the reader.
A story that will definitely have you running for your nearest bakery!
