I have read several books by David Jason either writing as himself or as Delboy, and while this is not the best of the bunch it does make for an entertaining read. Its basically a book of mantras and lessons that have helped David Jason to become one of the most recognised actors still alive today. Its full of funny anecdotes and heart warming stories. It also is a good guide book for anyone wanting to have a career in entertainment, as it informs you of the up's and down's, the high's and low's of making it to the top. Well worth a read and definitely an insightful book.

Fell good and heart warming (0 more)
I loved this book. It was so heart warming and such a feel good book. I liked the characters and the community they live in. It is so close knit.
This was a romance but this was not just focused on that as there were friendships made and family aspects.
I loved this book from the first page. I couldn't put it down, I just wanted to keep reading.
The only 2 parts of the book which didn't make sense was when both Maeve and Phil were in the pub for the first time. They were offered a seat inside by the window or outside and they chose to sit inside by the window. The band then started to play and Phil suggested they go inside so they can see the band better but they were already in the pub. The second part was in Paschal's bookshop for the first time. The books Maeve bought came to 5 euros and Maeve put down a 5 euro note and then Paschal handed her change, even though she gave him the correct money.
This book made me smile and I wanted to get to know this community.
The characters definitely changed and grew throughout the book. Phil got stronger, Paschal opened himself up Maeve stood up for herself.
It was your typical romance, feel good book but I still loved it.
I actually have the other books, in the series, in my list to read.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting.

This is the story of Caddock, the retired rugby player, and Francis, the interior designer, and how they get together. This is a sweet romance, guaranteed to give you the warm fuzzies whilst you read it. Filled with heart-warming characters of both human and canine varieties, you will travel to antiques fairs and pubs in Cornwall.

Well-written and smoothly paced, this was a slow burner of a romance, although the attraction was instantaneous. Caddock and Francis are most definitely a case of opposites attracting and definitely complementing each other.

Another winner from Dahlia Donovan, and definitely recommended by me.

* I received this book from Hot Tree Promotions in return for a fair and honest review. *
