About this deal

When fiercely independent chambermaid Nancy Nettleton first moved to London and the Buckingham Hotel, the last thing on her mind was finding love, let alone falling for the debonair demonstration dancer Raymond de Guise. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

I felt it had more breadth than depth,but, to be honest and a few too many story lines and characters. The story mainly goes around the up and coming wedding of Nancy Nettleton and Raymond de Guise (aka) ray cohen, and all the trails and tribulations that surrounds it, but there is so much more happening around it that you become engrossed in each and every characters story. I've read all his previous books and am looking forward to reading the next instalment of life at the Buckingham Hotel. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. This life-changing Audible Original features a powerful mix of one-on-one life-coaching sessions and a personal narrative with vital take-aways that you can start using immediately.It’s a whopper of a book at nearly five hundred pages, but it’s paced well and kept me interested throughout.

All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! Registered address: Unit 31, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events. That said, I’m sure she won’t mind me saying (given last week’s 13 points) that I think we may be in need of your votes this weekend! There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived.The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason for being; the thing that gets you out of bed each morning.

Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. Listen in as she takes six different people on a career change journey to help them figure out what work they would really love to do and create a plan of how to make that career change happen. I'd love to go into more detail here but there are so many rich and colourful characters whose stories are front and centre herein that to start would mean I'd go on and on and, well, you might as well just read the book yourself! Behind the scenes, the staff work tirelessly, ensuring the smooth operation of the hotel, not only keeping theconfidences of their guests, but also protecting their own secrets .

This is book three in the series set in the Buckingham Hotel (The previous books are One Enchanted Evening and Moonlight over Mayfair). My only gripe - and this is a gripe I have with a lot of authors who are not authors by trade - is the excessive use of names when they are not needed as it's obvious who is talking to whom (this does fade out as you go through the book) and the overuse of the word "But". There are a multitude of things happening- from a potentially suspicious death to espionage, love, drama and the thrills and spills of life in a glamorous hotel. Using the real life experience of the years in the book made the story more believable and interesting. Sir Michael Caine knows a thing or two about gangs: whether that’s joining one as a kid, or playing them in movies for over 50 years.

Saying this, I’m sure Anton’s legion of hard core fans will love it and older readers who enjoy a gentle, heartwarming tale set in the 1930’s but on this occasion it didn’t hit the mark for me. Characters who are believable; people you will doff your hat to, or smile at before bidding them a "good morning" as you pass them by in the street or the hallways of the hotel itself.

What a wonderful continuation of the life and lives of all at the Buckingham Hotel, I have like the two books before, been unable to put this book down till I finished it. I’d heard so many great things about this series and Anton as an author, I was so excited to get stuck in! Beautifully written with expressive detail you are taken from day to day within and outside this hotel and surrounding area. This third encounter sees du Beke maintain his authentic grasp of the period era and follows goings-on at the hotel from April 1938 to the eve of WWII, taking in the marriage of independent Lancastrian chambermaid, Nancy Nettleton, and debonair demonstration dancer, Raymond de Guise (aka Ray Cohen from Whitechapel).
