A Brewed Awakening is such a delight, light hearted and with significant depth.

Daphne Austen lives in her dreamy mountain world running her late Grandma’s tea shop. Her days are filled with baking and brewing, until snarky Brit Finn Dashwood buys the property next door to open a pub and coffee shop. Finn despises tea, shattering Daphne’s idea of a romantic British hero.

The two are thrown together when both are hired to cater a celebrity wedding. As sparks fly, the social media around their little town is fierce, with speculation over a romance running wild. But single dad Finn has had his heart shattered once and has no interest in going back. And Daphne doesn’t entirely trust his easy going friendly nature. Still the sparks keep going.

Then, informed by real events, disaster strikes and everything changes.

I loved the sharp banter, clever plot, witty social media. This is Basham at her finest. Add in the harrowing disaster and you have an excellent book that comes with five starts from me and a highly recomended sticker.

I received a copy of A Brewed Awakening from the publisher via NetGalley. The views are my own.
