REVIEW: Second Chances In Chianti by T.A Williams

Second Chances In Chianti by T. A Williams published by Canelo

Alice Butler starred in a successful US sitcom as flirty Polly, a role that followed her even when the show was cancelled. Seeing it as a chance for a second career, Alice returned to Bristol to study for her dream job as an Art Historian, but five years later she gets a call saying that the sitcom might be revived. With all the bickering and backstabbing that went on before, surely it could only end in disaster? The meeting and reunion of the cast takes place in a villa in the Chianti region of Tuscany and Alice has two decisions to make…does she continue with her relationship with boyfriend David, and does she sign up for the sitcom again? Throw into the mix, Mysterious Matt who lives in a Tower next to the villa which just adds to Alice’s list of decisions!

TA Williams writes captivating, believable stories and by the end of them I always want to add the locations of his books to my list of places to visit and after this book that list is getting longer and longer!! It was fantastic to step aside from reality for the duration of this story, I actually visited restaurants, and Art galleries during lockdown! The description of food and the scenery is beautiful and I enjoyed dining out at Giovanni’s on several times, plus I never had to pick up the bill!! Thank heavens for Guinness, the black Lab who features quite heavily in this story - it wouldn’t be a TA Williams book without a Labrador.

Another radiant read from one of my favourite authors.

REVIEW: Moonlight Over Studland Bay by Della Galton

Moonlight Over Studland Bay – Della Galton published by Boldwood Books Samantha Jones works as an audio typist for a local company in Dorset. However, it’s not her dreams job. She wanted to devote, and expand, Purbeck Pooches, her pet sitting service. When best friend (and housemate) Abby has a baby boy Sam’s priorities change and she realises she wants more from her life. Does she want life to continue as it is or does she want to look for the perfect sperm donor – on a drunken evening Abby and Sam draw up the perfect "daddy" list. Sam’s world is soon rocked when her boss Rex accuses her of moonlighting and her parents who have run a B&B locally for years make a shock revelation. I’m going to say it from the start…I loved this book! Sam is a relatable character who knows what she wants from life, but she doesn’t want to upset, hurt or trample on people to get it. She’s just an all-round good egg!! There were times in the book when Abby made me laugh but a

Review: One Enchanted Evening

One Enchanted Evening by Anton du Beke My rating: 4 of 5 stars Anton Du Beke has his finger in many pies, professional dancer, singer, entertainer and now he can add novelist to the list. One Enchanted Evening is set in the ballroom of a London hotel in the 1930s and tells the story of Raymond De Guise, the principle dancer, chambermaid Nancy, and porter Billy who all work downstairs, behind the scenes of the hotel. As you would expect dancing is a big feature in this book, but also surprisingly was the politics of the time, which I found added another dimension to the story. If you like Downton Abbey or The Halcyon (the ITV drama set in a hotel) or Upstairs Downstairs, you will love this book. An enjoyable debut novel from Mr Du Beke. View all my reviews
