From Goodreads

You are cordially invited to the wedding of the year!

London, 1938.

As the festive season approaches at the luxurious Buckingham Hotel, romance is in the air. The hotel staff are preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime event—the marriage of chambermaid Nancy Nettleton to debonair demonstration dancer Raymond de Guise.

As wreaths are hung and carols are sung, life at the hotel is busier than ever. Guests arrive from around the world, seeking comfort, relaxation and refuge as tensions build across Europe and whispered rumours of war grow louder.

Behind the scenes, the staff work tirelessly, ensuring the smooth operation of the hotel, not only keeping the confidences of their guests, but also protecting their own secrets...

As Raymond takes Nancy in his arms for their first dance, one thing is certain—this will be a Christmas to remember.

Be swept away by the new breath-taking romantic novel from Sunday Times bestselling author and Strictly Come Dancing star Anton du Beke.

My thoughts

I have previously read and enjoyed the first two in the Buckingham series, Moonlight over Mayfair (Book 1) and One Enchanted Evening (Book 2) both of these I was fortunate enough to get copies of via NetGalley.  This book I managed to find a copy of on BorrowBox the lending side of my local Library, I was keen to follow on with the series in order to find out what has happened to the characters.

This is the third book in the Buckingham series, which features the Buckingham hotel.  The book is set in the late 1930's as World War II is nearing.  The story contains many of the characters from the previous two books in the series.  The story centers around the relationship of Nancy Nettleton and the ballroom dancer Raymond de Guise.  As the story progresses will Nancy and Raymond's wedding go ahead as planned or will events be beyond their control, as events leading up to World War II draw the hotel and it's inhabitants into situations beyond their control.  

I enjoyed the third book as much as the previous two in the Buckingham series.  The stories draw you in and the reader is able to escape from their ordinary lives into the world of the characters.
