Lorna is following her dreams. But can she follow her heart?
Lorna Ferguson has dreamt of
opening her own bed and breakfast in the village of Glendale for as long as
she'd pictured falling in love. While her love life remains frankly hopeless,
Lorna is determined to secure Dove House - the home she imagined living in as a
child - to start this new venture with her family.
Along with brother Adam, Lorna
starts restoring the house to its Art Deco glory, but faced with a whole host
of renovation problems and their money fast running out, they worry that Dove
House will never be ready to open in the New Year.
When a mystery man turns up,
needing to fulfil a promise he made to his dying father and find the object he
left at Dove House many years ago, Lorna's heart goes out to him. But what they
find there is going to change both of their lives forever.
Facing problems at every turn,
and distracted by her heart, Lorna is going to need all the magic that her
beloved Glendale can supply to make all her dreams come true..

I have been looking forward to a return to Glendale, seems an age
since the last book but this was definitely worth the wait. Back to a wonderful
setting with familiar characters and a chance to catch up with their lives. We
do focus on Lorna, although she had appeared before, this book is the chance to
really get to know her and the rest of her family.
I enjoyed getting to learn about Lorna’s dreams, her aspirations
to open her own B&B but also having the perfect location in mind that has
sentimental reasons. Her relationship with her brother (who shares the dream to
open the B&B) is great to read and they balance each other out well. It’s a
great family, with the slight exception of their older sister who isn’t always
as positive as Lorna would like her to be.
When fate and opportunity aligns, the time is right for them to
take a leap and follow their dream. But.. even when dreams come true, things
don’t go smoothly and both have to learn to take risks – with the B&B but
also their hearts.
I love Victoria’s writing, cosy and familiar so as soon I started
the first page, I felt content and happy just to snuggle up and savour every
word.
A fantastic return to Glendale, a story of following your heart,
understanding the past and learning to move forwards, believing in yourself but
allowing other people in to help.
Dreams can come true, it may not be a smooth ride and you made
have to have a whole lot of faith as well as determination but with those you
love and care for around you, you can achieve all you want.
I cannot recommend anything by Victoria enough but this is a great Autumn read.
