I read and enjoyed Belonging in October 2018 and made a note to read more of Ms Baxter's stories. I got as far as downloading a few, but haven't made the time to read any until now. The #20BooksOfSummer2025 reading challenge is certainly making me dig through my book shelves!
A big and belated thank you to the author, Rhoda Baxter, for this free digial copy of her novella to review.

The blurb:
Can you ever forgive your first love?
Jack left Sue when she was eighteen and no one else has even come close to taking his place in her heart. Twenty five years later, Sue is busy running the local bakery ‘Pat’s Pantry’, fighting off competition from the fancy new bistro in the village and has no time for romance.
After more than two decades away, Jack is finally returning to the village he grew up in. Seeing Sue rekindles all the feelings he thought were long buried. But will Sue forgive him for leaving? And what will happen when she finds out that his daughter runs the enemy bistro?
A short story from the author of the romantic comedies Girl On The Run and Girl Having A Ball. The perfect length for a lunchtime read.

My thoughts:
Pat's Pantry is a charming, short story about two people finding each other after a twenty-five year separation. At only 25 pages long, this story is a light, quick and easy read which made me want to learn more about life in Trewton Royd and how the new posh restaurant might impact village life. The manageress has already been labeled 'dead snooty', which makes me think that she hasn't even tried to engage with the locals and her fellow business owners. An added bonus, there is also a sample of Ms Baxter's novel Snowed In which is the standalone Christmas novella and book number #1 in the Trewton Royd series.
