I am rather pleased that she gives you a glimpse of the professional kitchen too, as it is quite different from that of a country house hotel.Meg falls in love with the hotel, despite the fact it needs some work doing on it, none of the rooms have bathrooms, the decor is dated. v=1612781338","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":17264472719515,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.

Along the way, you get to know a lovely cast of characters, with a sprinkling of nasty people to make your hackles rise. Meg has always wanted to be a professional cook; she has an internship set up in France, but it isn’t time to go yet and restaurants are still generally a man’s world where women aren’t welcome.

This book follows on from two previous books set in the 1960s and vividly brings to life the beauty of Nightingale Woods Hotel in Dorset. Undaunted, she has plans to travel to France and work on her already impressive skills to chase her dream of becoming a pastry chef. The hotel is charming, a place I’d love to stay at with its welcoming and homely feel and beautiful location. One Enchanted Evening picks up the story from Katie Fforde's previous books A Wedding in the Country and A Wedding in Provence, this time concentrating on Meg's story.I was drawn into this from the very first chapters and I could tell that Meg was a fantastic character, Justin on the other hand… he needed some manners drilling into him!

Having been born in the 60’s a lot of things reminded me of my young days, no bathroom’s indoors, I remember staying in hotels when on holiday as we were growing up and none of them had en suite facilities. Do you have that one author where every time you get a new book from them it feels like you’re catching up with an old friend?
