Description

It took me a chapter or three to settle into this novel, there are a lot of characters to familiarise yourself with. But if you've read the previous books you won't have that settling in feeling.

Home on leave and still reeling from the tragic events at Dunkirk, the dashing Raymond de Guise struggles to define his role in this new world, and to do his duty both to his country, and his beloved wife Nancy- who needs him now more than ever.Du Beke effectively cuts the glamour and aspiration of the ballroom with the grubby, ghastly side of the war at home’– DAILY MAIL One of our main characters is a handsome chap named Raymond de Guise: a professional demonstration dancer at the hotel – and definitely not based on the author at all(!) He has just married his sweetheart, hotel chambermaid Nancy but he feels it is his duty to fight for his country and enlist. Of course, these newlyweds are heartbroken to be separated. And I’m sure you’ll forgive me the plug, but I’m also so thrilled that Erin and I will be returning to theatres nationwide early next year with our new Tour for 2021 – Showtime! Full details and booking links can be found here at antonanderinlive.co.uk– plus, dates are now set for a fabulous range of dance breaks next year too – see here for all the listings. Outside the hotel, London is also suffering. Not only from the real evil enemy and their bombings, but also closer to home from looters and profiteers. Raymond de Guise, home on leave and still affected by the death of his brother, is desperate to help so he joins a night watch. Helping him find his feet there is Cathy who has her own troubles which we soon discover. Each book can be read as a standalone story, but they do indeed form a series, set in those tumultuous years leading up to the outbreak of World War II.

It gives me very great pleasure to announce that my brand new book will be coming out on the 11th November this year – and I can today reveal that the title is…‘ We’ll Meet Again‘!Unfortunately I was only able to give this book 3 stars because it was edited so badly that I almost couldn't read it. Apart from 'there' instead of 'their' and 'it' instead of 'it's ' every age had word or words removed from the correct place and put in several lines above where they should be. This completely ruined the flow of the words and made it difficult to read and enjoy. Lots to look forward to, dates for our diaries, and a good book to whisk us all away this coming wintertime – sounds perfect! And if you haven’t already read ‘One Enchanted Evening’ or ‘Moonlight Over Mayfair’, now’s your chance – there’s plenty of time to catch up with them before ‘A Christmas to Remember’ comes out – enjoy!
