Dreams Come True at the Wartime Hotel by Maisie Thomas #Review

  Manchester, 1943. I am delighted to feature another in the WW2 saga by Maisie Thomas. Dreams Come True at the Wartime Hotel  was published on March 29th by Boldwood Books .    Kitty’s new venture, hosting wedding receptions at Dunbar’s Hotel, has got off to a flying start, and she’s looking to the future. With the tide of the war turning and victory on the distant horizon, Kitty is keen to keep her independence once the men come home. But will her spendthrift husband Bill agree to a divorce – and to letting her keep the business? Beatrice’s work in welfare is hugely rewarding, and she loves the children’s clubs she runs at Dunbar’s. But when a spate of thefts breaks out locally, the police become involved. Could the children be to blame, or can Beatrice help discover the true culprits? Former hotel maid Lily knows she still loves her estranged husband, Daniel.

Floating Solo by Shelley Wilson #Review

 

Fancy taking a leisurely boat ride along a beautiful Warwickshire canal? Floating Solo by Shelley Wilson was published by Hillfield Publishing on November 5th.


Are you single?

Have you lost your confidence when it comes to travelling?

Would you welcome a few weeks away to find that missing spark?

Climb aboard the Creaky Cauldron for an adventure like no other!

Budding entrepreneur Kat Sinclair wants to grow her quirky solo narrowboat holiday enterprise but faces rejection at every turn. Until a Hollywood film crew gets in touch with the potential to change her business, dreams, and love life forever.

'Enemies to lovers'

'Small town romance'


 My Thoughts

 You can't help but fall under the spell of life on the canals when you read this story. Kat has big dreams for her business but seems to lack confidence to put it into action. Her Floating Solo holidays are very successful for her clients and many use the experience to sort out their thoughts and plan their future. During her journey with her American guests, Kat seems to benefit from this herself. You find out quite a bit about Kat's life and why she has chosen to live alone with a very small group of trusted friends. She is wary of strangers at the moment. 

    The American travellers are an entertaining bunch, full of warmth and together they all form a family. It takes Kat some time to work out the dynamics between them and Jordan, the film star, is the most complicated of them all. There are moments of light and shade in the story but overall, the tone is uplifting and engaging. 

In short: lively characters and a gentle romance
