Yorkshire lass and dental receptionist Janet Jackson has just taken a big risk. Using all her savings, she’s turned her spacious garage into a Bed and Breakfast, slapped a sign on it and without any experience at all, is now awaiting her very first guests.
With a moody teenage daughter and a
crazy sister to contend with she’s already got her work cut out. The trouble
she soon discovers, is that guests have undesirable habits, annoying pets and
endless demands. ‘Is it bloody worth it?’ she asks herself a dozen times a day.
Janet gradually learns her trade - but not without being tested to her limits.
The question is: will she come through the experience with her bank balance,
cottage and her sanity intact?
Hugely entertaining but a word of
warning: if ever you’ve thought of running a B&B, read this hilarious debut
novel first– you might want to think again!

A refreshing, quirky book that kept me thoroughly
entertained. I really didn’t know what to expect next! Fun and light-hearted
reading at its best.
When Janet decides to open her ‘Annex’ as a B&B she
really doesn’t know what she has let herself in for, especially when she is
surrounded by people who demand quite a bit of her time and energy! Us readers
are almost like her confidantes and it’s like she is confiding her inner most
thoughts to us in a chatty, friend like way.
With each new booking Janet learns something new, but we
also get to see how her relationships change, how her family has it’s ups and
downs and how she survives and thrives.
It is funny and full of humour but it does have a warmth that
is pretty unique. Janet seems just like your run of the mill woman, trying her
best in every area of her life – yes she sometimes gets it wrong but she has
every good intention. She is such a likeable character, surrounded by a whole
host of characters who each bring their own unique voice.
It’s brilliant and I highly recommend; well written, moves
along nicely and is easy to pick up and enjoy.
