Summer at Little Beach Bakery by Jenny Colgan

This is the second book in this series. If you haven't read the first-no worry- the author gives the reader a brief update at the begining of this book. The author has over twelve previous books to her credit.

Polly has set up a baking business in a small coastal town in Cornwall. She has a landlord that is less than pleasant. The landlord retires and Polly manages the operations of two separate stores. The local fisherman and townspeople love her bread-making skills and while the stores do not make her rich, she enjoys the experience. Polly has a new boyfriend and has purchased an old lighthouse to call her home.
Her landlord dies suddenly and the landlord's family moves in to take over the business and forces Polly out. What transpires after the chips are down is the rest of the story.

Of course Neil, the puffin, remains in this story as well. Polly is given advice that Neil's interests would best be served in a sanctuary and Polly gives it much thought.

This, like the first book, is a light-hearted drama which makes for easy reading.
