The Reluctant Baker

The Reluctant Baker is the tenth book in the series The Greek Village Collection by INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLING AUTHOR Sara Alexi.

The Reluctant Baker is a story of love, loyalty and overcoming tragedy, as you are transported to the rich culture of life in a rustic Greek village where the donkeys bray and the sun shines.

Burdened by his job working unreasonable hours in the village bakery owned by his mother and father in-law, Loukas is a young man with integrity who wants to please his in-laws but can no longer ignore the sense that life is passing him by. So when tragedy strikes the family, a way out from his hopeless situation seems even more distant.

Meanwhile in the UK, desperate for an escape, nineteen year old Ellie shuns her timid ways in a bid to break free from a pre-planned life and overbearing father by heading to Greece, with only a few belongings in a ruck sack. Checking herself in to the new hotel near the village, she ends up disrupting more than she bargains for as her presence in the village shakes up more lives than just her own.

As two young souls search for a better life, can Loukas find a way to start over without causing heartache? And will finding the path to true love and happiness prove to be impossible for Ellie?

In an uplifting story of resilience conquering adversity, this tale of young love, scandal, jealous neighbours and a plot to bankrupt the new hotel before it has opened its doors will leave your feet barely touching the ground.
