I have read lots of foodie romance books, But this one is different. There is no fluffiness in Craving London. Jessica Stone writes with finesse, describing her discovery of a new city – it was amusing for me to read the differences in language between what Jessica knew as American terms to my own British language.

Anyone who knows me well, will know I am a complete foodie. I wonder if Author Jessica Stone got that from my blog name or it was just lucky she contacted me with her new and first book, Craving London. I am honoured to have received an advanced copy of Jessica’s first published book and am very happy to tell my readers what I thought of Craving London. A warning, foodies get ready to buy another book. 😋
I thought I would enjoy Craving London, I wasn’t expecting it to be a book that I would rave about and consider buying as Christmas gifts for friends and family. Craving London is this new Author’s first book and what a spectacular first book it is. Highly recommended.
Jessica also made a trailer for her book. It’s very good and makes you want to delve in to Craving London. You can pre order now by going to my links section.

As Jessica fell in love with British food, so did I all over again. My favourite part of the book was the foodie talk and recipes, but there are plenty of other parts to get the reader turning the pages too. There are many amusing dates and dumpings. One of the best excuses I have heard to not see someone again is towards the end of the book. I won’t tell you what it is, but it was funny enough for me to take a photo of the sentence and send it to my Mum! She laughed too.
