The Seafront Tea Rooms- Vanessa Green

"The Seafront Tea Rooms is a peaceful hideaway, away from the bustle of the seaside, and in this quiet place a group of women find exactly what they've been searching for.

Charismatic journalist Charlotte is on a mission to scope out Britain's best tea rooms. She knows she's found something special in the Seafront Tea Rooms but is it a secret she should share? Kathryn, a single mother whose only sanctuary is the 'Seafront', convinces Charlie to keep the place out of her article by agreeing to join her on her search. Together with another regular, Seraphine, a culture-shocked French au pair with a passion for pastry-making, they travel around the country discovering quaint hideaways and hidden gems. But what none of them expect is for their journey to surprise them with discoveries of a different kind . . ."

I received a copy of the first few chapters of this new book- from Net Galley.

Charlotte writes reviews of teashops for the paper and is always looking out for quaint or outstanding places to enjoy. She appears to have a slightly strained relationship with her sister and is getting over a broken engagement. She is looking for more teashops to submit her reports and the excerpt ends with her finding the tearooms with the lacey curtains and aromatic teas in little tins ready to be chosen and savoured by the new guests. It draws you in and leaves you wanting to hear the rest of the story.

Characters are introduced that from the 'blurb' will be major parts of the story including the aupair from France.

I really can't wait until this one is released and I can read further. I loved her first book- one of my favourite reads last year and I can just imagine that this one is going to join my favourite lists this year aswell.
