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…

An uplifting, inspirational and romantic read that will warm your heart. Fans of Jenny Colgan and Heidi Swain will love this.

How lovely it was to be able to return to Glendale, and to feel right at home once the familiar characters popped up. 

I'm sorry to say I'd forgotten that Lorna had appeared before, took until the authors note at the end for me to even realise, but given how much I enjoyed the book, I think that means I can easily say it works as a standalone novel 

For the main story and relationships in this are all brand new. And there is even an early mystery to work out, as well as a lot of renovations and talk of dreams.  Well more than talk of dreams, for dreams really do come true in Glendale, and it really is an apt title for this book. 

I loved getting to know Lorna and her entire family, and was willing her and Adam on in realising their dream of owning Dove House, and turning into a cosy B&B.  

There were plenty of various side plots going on, which I really enjoyed and found myself rooting for practically all the characters we meet.  From familiar faces, to the new this was just a lovely cosy story to read. 

So incredibly enjoyable and I really hope this isn't the last we see of the Glendale Hall gang. 

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