The brand new romantic Christmas read from Alex Brown –the Queen of Feel Good Fiction and #1 bestseller!

Bridget smiled to herself, certain she could see one of the stars twinkling extra brightly in that moment as if to acknowledge her wish and convince her that, yes, Mulberry-On-Sea was just the place they all needed to be. Surrounded by those happy memories of holidays and special times where nothing bad ever happened…

Finding yourself without a home in the weeks before Christmas would break most people, but for Bridget Carrington it’s a chance to start again. Mulberry-On-Sea has always been her happy place and she’s hoping it can work its magic this festive season and heal her family after a difficult year.

Now, as the community wraps Bridget and her children in its warm embrace, she starts to feel like herself again. With a new business, kids who are starting to smile, and the promise of a second chance at love, Bridget’s holiday season might just be a happy ever after…

Hello and thanks so much for visiting my Amazon author page. I write romantic comedies and emotional love stories and can’t wait to whisk you away to a gorgeous Greek island in the sun in my brand new novel, Bring Me Sunshine, when it’s published on June 6th.

I’ve written 15 bestselling books, including the No.1 Kindle UK bestsellers Cupcakes at Carrington’s and The Secret of Orchard Cottage, and the international No.1 paperback bestsellers A Postcard From Italy and A Postcard From Capri. My novels have been published in 22 countries, hit the number one spot in three countries, been shortlisted for a Romantic Novelists Association award and have sold over a million copies.

I live by the sea on the south coast of England with my family and when I’m not writing or reading, you’ll find me walking on the beach or binge-watching a boxset.

I love chatting to readers on social media at @alexbrownbooks or you can click the Amazon 'Follow' button to keep up to date with all my book news.

I really enjoyed this book. The setting and the characters were charming and the story was really good. It did end a little abruptly without a real resolution. I hope there will be a next book that will start where this one left off.

Wonderful characters. Bridget and Jack are both recovering from lost loves, one by death and one by cheating. Jack is a very romantic figure, but my favorite part of the book was the way Bridget's baking introduced her to the village and how lovely the villagers were.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming holiday tale
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021
A Cosy Christmas at Bridget’s Bicycle Bakery is the first book in a new series by Alex Brown. Bridget Carrington and her three children have moved back to Mulberry-on-Sea after a very sad and difficult year. Bridget’s young husband, Ted, died suddenly about a year ago leaving his family in a hardship. Luckily, Ted’s parents, who have moved to Australia, still own a small beach cottage in Mulberry-on-Sea where Ted and Bridget met and have offered it, with repairs needed, to Bridget and her children.

With little left to care for her family, Bridget packs up much of their belongings in her little car, her 14 year old twins Olly and Oscar, and 6 year old Freya, plus their big dog Henry and pair of Guinea pigs, and heads out for their new home. Will she and her family be able to find a good life awaiting them in their new home? Will Bridget be successful in her new business in this very small village? And will Bridget find a new happily ever
after in such a warm hearted story? I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I do recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021
What an adorable, heartwarming Christmas story! I loved the characters, the setting and this author’s writing style too. It’s my first book by Alex Brown, but it will definitely not be my last. Bridget, a newly widowed mom of three, must leave their home and move to her hometown. They will be living in an old, rundown beach house owned by her in laws. She needs to get an income and fast. So she begins baking to sell, one of her passions. She makes some wonderful new and old friends and possibly a new romantic interest. I’m happy to know this is just the beginning of a new series.
It’s a fun holiday story and one to add to your Christmas reading. I received an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is part of a series (which I didn't know) and does depend a bit on the information from the earlier book/s. I tried to read this as a stand-alone, which does work but takes a bit to sink in.

This was advertised as a YA, but it's full-fledged adult as it follows a recently widowed woman as she tries to pull life together with her children and their pets by moving to a town they've been in before. The writing is well done and flows very naturally. It's no problem to understand the characters and sympathize with their problems. The kids made me smile as well as the love interest and other town's folks. Unfortunately, I did have trouble reading this one as it was simply too slow for my taste and spent too much time in the heroine's head. I found myself skipping over pages at a time, and just didn't connect with it.
But it was just not my type of read. I have no doubt others will enjoy it quite a bit.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021
A Cosy Christmas at Bridget’s bicycle bakery by Alex Brown a festive five-star read. This was number four in the Carrington’s series which I didn’t realise when I first started this, I will go back and read them all as this sounds like a delightful series. I really enjoyed how the characters weren’t rushed to conclusion, they developed naturally, and followed the flow of the story, it was nicely done. The scenes set in this story were sublime, you could imagine yourself by the sea enjoying a festive hot drink and feeling the sea breeze on your face.

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
The holiday season is meant to be filled with wonder and all things great and good. Bridget knows that wishes are not enough to keep her small family safe but surely her faith in the magic of Christmas will bring them to a better place. With a little romance thrown into Bridget's miracles, you'll share in her angel's blessings.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021
This story of a family finding themselves after the loss of a husband/father will have readers rooting for a happy ending. Bridget has always wanted to be a baker and out of desperation to support her three children on her own, she sells and delivers freshly baked breads and treats. The community is amazing and supports each other in a heartwarming way. A new chance for love is available but grief takes time and work. This book will put readers in the mood to celebrate Christmas with love and togetherness. I read this book on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2021

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Alex Brown deserves five stars for this book. It’s fantastic.
Bridget is moving back to her hometown of Mulberry on sea with her children. Bridget has been forced back when her husband and childhood sweetheart Ted dies suddenly. This has left Bridget in a bad way emotionally and financially with no choice but to accept the offer of living in Teds parents beach house.
Bridget loves to bake and very quickly the locals discover her amazing bread and so Bridget’s Bicycle Bakery is born. The family start to heal in the arms of the community.
Jack is the chief in the local pub and meets Bridget in a compromising position which leads to a rocky start in their friendship.
As their friendship grows so does the bakery and Olly, Oscar and Freya come back to life as they accept the new life without their dad.
I have read all Alex books and it’s been a while since I read The Carringtons Series and this one takes me right back. (You don’t need to read the others first)
Thank you Harper Collins Uk and NetGalley and of course Alex for an early copy of this I loved it.

I haven’t read the previous books in the Carrington’s series, but Alex Brown is a favourite author, so I decided to read this one, and go back and catch up on Carrington’s later.

I loved the seaside location of Mulberry-On-Sea, and the beach house. I really liked the sense of community, and the friendships (old and new) that Bridget starts building. The whole book feels lovely and Christmassy too.

I really enjoyed the story, it felt like Bridget, and her children, were finding their feet again. I liked that there were lots of dogs, and the Bicycle Bakery concept was great.

I also enjoyed the beginnings of a romance. It was necessarily quite tentative, but lovely nonetheless.

You definitely don’t need to have read the previous Carrington’s books to enjoy this one. Though complete in itself, this feels like the first volume of a longer story, so I hope that we’ll get to see lots more of Bridget and her friends in A Summer Holiday at Bridget’s Bicycle Bakery.

Overall, this was a lovely, gentle story of new beginnings. Of family, friends, and romance.

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars feel good, festive romance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2022

I found this a lovely story. A little too much contemplation from the main character. Her thoughts about her late husband who tragically died on a football field, are sad but happy memories full of lovely memories . Her 3 children are normal everyday kids who bring her joy and tears at the same time. I don’t know where she finds the time to do all the things she does, baked bread, mince pies, cakes etc and knot a jumper and scarf, and deliver all her goodies to her respective clients and manages to spend quality time with her children. But it is an enjoyable, easy read for a bedside, or fireside read.
