This is the part 2 of the Little Shop series. Although I haven’t read the first book of the series, it didn’t really matter as the story was very cheesy and interesting to me.

Hope after her husband’s death returns to York and work at a shop called Little Shop of Hidden Treasures, a shop filled with ancient artifacts and treasures. In one such artifact, she comes across an Egyptian treasure that once belonged to a woman named Eleanor. And while working at the shop she meets two men–Will who is looking after his silent niece Brody after his parents’ death and Ciaran, a university professor she gets acquainted when working to find the secret of the Egyptian treasure.

This is such a cute, story and I actually enjoyed reading it. I do like the bit of a love triangle between Will, Hope and Ciaran even though in the end, I was rooting that Will and Hope will get together which they did in the end. The part about the Egyptian treasure and the story and history behind that treasure intrigued me and piqued my interest. Overall, this is was actually a cute, funny romance novel that will make you laugh and cry at the same time! Worth 4.5 stars! Looking forward to read more books from this series.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.

Holly Hepburn has wanted to write books for as long she can remember but she was too scared to try. One day she decided to be brave and dipped a toe into the bubble bath of romantic fiction with her first novella, Cupidity, and she’s never looked back. She often tries to be funny to be funny, except for when faced with traffic wardens and border control staff. Her favourite things are making people smile and Aidan Turner.

She’s tried many jobs over the years, from barmaid to market researcher and she even had a brief flirtation with modelling. These days she is mostly found writing.

She lives near London with her grey tabby cat, Portia. They both have an unhealthy obsession with Marmite.
