A wry, entertaining story about falling in love with a man whose shirtless picture adorns every second lunchroom wall and then doing your best when the relationship takes an unexpected turn . . .


Helen McNeil is a vet in the small rural town of Broadview. While taking evasive action from a dull girl at a party one night she falls over - and fails to recognise - national sporting hero, Mark Tipene. For some mysterious reason Helen never really grasps, Mark finds this charming and appears the next day at the front counter of the vet clinic to ask her out.


A whirlwind romance follows and everything is going swimmingly until one little hiccup changes everything.


Chocolate Cake for Breakfast is the funny and heart-warming story of the pros and cons of dating a man whose shirtless picture adorns a wall in every second lunchroom in the country, of calving cows and crazy cat ladies, and of doing your best when life takes an unexpected turn.

This is the first book of Danielle's that I have read although I do have Dinner at Rosie's sitting in my TBR pile

Danielle's background in farming and as a vet shows through in the well researched and at times very detailed story of Helen McNeil who is a vet in the small rural town of Broadview in rural New Zealand. Having visited New Zealand myself including the 'nearby' town of Hamilton I could totally envisage the setting of this book as I was reading. Helen reminds me of a modern day James Herriot and her often hilarious adventures in this dairy country will have you laughing (although if your squeamish this may not be the book for you!) After stumbling over national sporting hero, Mark Tipene - an All Black rugby player, without realising who he is this odd couple follow the trails of falling in love in the spotlight and their "date" at a breach birth of a cow is enough to end anyone running for the hills.

But when a happy 'accident' throws a spanner in the works of this budding romance will this odd couple make it? Can you really have your cake and eat it (for breakfast) too?

This was a fun read and I'm looking forward to reading Dinner at Rosie's as well.
