The Second Chance Holiday Club written by Kate Galley published by Head Of Zeus

When Evelyn Pringle’s husband Tony dies, her life it thrown into disarray and not for the reasons you think. When sorting through his possessions she comes across a piece of jewellery and a letter written by her husband to another woman. Evelyn knows she has a decision to make, ignore the letter and let the past gnaw away at her, or delivery the letter to the recipient who lives on the Isle Of Wight.

Before she knows what’s happening, Evelyn finds herself waiting for a coach which takes her and others on an adventure no one could have predicted – least of all Evelyn herself. Making new friends in Joy and Cynthia, the trio discover that it's never too late to have a second chance at life.

When I started this book, I didn’t really like Evelyn, she seemed grumpy and pushed away everyone who tried to help her, but over the course of the story, you see her vulnerable side and this is mainly thanks to Joy and Cynthia who are two people you would really want as friends.

I would love to read a follow up in a little while to see what route their paths took – a fantastic debut novel.

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
