Today I am delighted to be on the tour for Daisy James' Confetti at the Hummingbird Hotel, the final book in her Hummingbird Hotel series in a new series. Welcome back to the Hummingbird Hotel on the gorgeous island of Corfu.
When Abbie Coleman is asked to organise a Dance & Desserts
retreat for a group of exhausted schoolteachers, she decides to pull
out all the stops. With line dancing, flamenco and the Charleston on the
agenda, along with a whole host of delicious, themed desserts, it’s her
chance to prove to everyone that she has – at last – gained the skills
needed to be an accomplished hotelier. This time she’s determined there
will be no “unfortunate incidents” that make the Hummingbird Hotel look
like Corfu’s Comedy Central.
With her wedding to the gorgeous Nikos Angelopoulos
only three weeks away, will she finally be able to deliver a retreat
without the habitual chaos and calamity the hotel has become famous for?
Can she turn a clunky chicken dance into a classy Charleston and a
boogie-woogie into a beautiful ballet? Or will she be boot scootin’ it
back to London and life as a floundering florist?
Let Daisy James whisk you away to gorgeous Corfu
with a feel-good holiday read filled with sun, sea and a sprinkle of romance.
Perfect for fans of Mandy Baggot, Sue Roberts & Sandy Barker
My Thoughts
This is the perfect end to this trilogy of stories set on Corfu, in the Hummingbird Hotel. I loved the first in the series ( review here ) and it was great to catch up with some familiar characters again. Abbie has a difficult decision to make concerning the future of the hotel and added to that, there is the planning for her forthcoming wedding to Nikos. As you can expect, events don't go to plan, exactly.
I loved the setting in the rather quirky hotel and the workshops Abbie offers are a great way of adding interest and humour into the story. There are some lively characters who appear as the latest guests and plenty of local colour provided by Abbie's friends and colleagues. This is a very enticing holiday read if you are looking to escape to the sunshine and the ending is a satisfying way of signing off from the hotel.
In short: sun, romance and gorgeous Corfu!
About the Author
Daisy James loves writing stories with strong heroines and
swift-flowing plotlines. She especially likes to create sunshine-filled
settings in exotic locations - the Caribbean, Tuscany, Cornwall, Provence - so
she can spend her time envisioning her characters enjoying the fabulous scenery
and sampling the local food and drink.
When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green
summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling
sugar and edible glitter. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of
something fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea - china plates and
teacups are a must.
