Welcome back to the Hummingbird Hotel on the gorgeous island of Corfu.

When Abbie Coleman is asked to organise a Dance & Desserts retreat for a group of exhausted schoolteachers, she decides to pull out all the stops. With line dancing, flamenco and the Charleston on the agenda, along with a whole host of delicious, themed desserts, it’s her chance to prove to everyone that she has – at last – gained the skills needed to be an accomplished hotelier. This time she’s determined there will be no “unfortunate incidents” that make the Hummingbird Hotel look like Corfu’s Comedy Central.

With her wedding to the gorgeous Nikos Angelopoulos only three weeks away, will she finally be able to deliver a retreat without the habitual chaos and calamity the hotel has become famous for? Can she turn a clunky chicken dance into a classy Charleston and a boogie-woogie into a beautiful ballet? Or will she be boot scootin’ it back to London and life as a floundering florist?

Let Daisy James whisk you away to sunny Corfu with a feel-good holiday read filled with sun, sea and a sprinkle of romance. Perfect for fans of Mandy Baggot, Sue Roberts & Sandy Barker.

What a glorious finale to such a fantabulous series. 

And what a rollercoaster of emotion it is for Nikos and Abbie, in the run up to their wedding. They have tough decisions to make, and nothing seems to go according to plan. 

The featured retreat at the hotel this time is Dance and Desserts and Felix is in his element teaching a wide variety of dances and providing a fabulous array of props for them too. And the desserts and themed cocktails really tickled my taste buds too. 

Perhaps less of mystery during this retreat than others that have been held at the Hummingbird Hotel, but still plenty of shenanigans taking place. 

Daisy James has done a wonderful job of tying up loose ends for many characters that I was on the verge of tears a few times during the last quarter of the book.  And I reckon anyone who was ready any of the series so far, will also feel that way. 

It's a stunning location once again plays a part and I felt as though I was in Corfu and I just loved all my time spent at the Hummingbird Hotel.  I'm said to see the series end, even if it has been done in a perfect way, and look forward to seeing where Daisy transports us next, with her wonderful blend of food, light mystery and superb settings. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
