Today I am featuring One Winter's Night by Kiley Dunbar. This is the second of her novels which features Kelsey Anderson.
A gorgeously uplifting, romantic read that will warm your
heart – take a trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon, where magic happens…
It’s autumn in beautiful Stratford-Upon-Avon and Kelsey
Anderson is enjoying her new life in her adopted town. Her Shakespearean tour
guide days behind her, she’s now opened her own photography studio and loved up
with boyfriend Jonathan – even if a long-distance relationship is sometimes
lonely.
When best friend Mirren Imrie moves down from Scotland,
Kelsey is delighted to have her friend at her side – and as the nights turn
colder, Mirren throws herself into dating, until she finds herself growing
closer to sexy journalist, Adrian Armadale. But when Mirren uncovers a
long-buried scandal while working at the local newspaper, her big scoop might
throw Kelsey’s – and Jonathan’s – life upside down. Will she choose her career
over her friends’ happiness?
And when Jonathan returns from America and discovers the
secrets Mirren has uncovered about his family, it throws his relationship with
Kelsey onto shaky ground. Can they find their way back to love, before it
becomes the winter of their discontent?
A romantic, funny and feelgood read that will make you smile
from ear to ear. Fans of Milly Johnson, Heidi Swain and Holly Martin will fall
in love with this cosy winter read!
My Thoughts
This novel can definitely be read as a standalone, as I did, I loved the setting in Stratford upon Avon and savoured the flavour of Shakespeare and the theatre which was underlined by the Shakespearian quotations at the beginning of each chapter. I enjoyed both Kelsey and her friend, Mirren's stories. Both of them prove to be resourceful and resilient. Mirren's family may not be the most stable, but both her and Kelsey miss their families back in Scotland.
There are some quirky and colourful characters to meet in this uplifting, heart-warming read. It is just right for a wintry weekend. You certainly feel that you should look to the future rather than dwell in the past. The friendships which Kelsey develops across the generations, with Blythe in particular, are another lovely touch and a source of humour.
In short: A delightful cosy read.
