Praise for The Secrets of Dragonfly Lodge
I loved it. I was completely immersed in the story and the setting. So clever and interesting and beautifully written.
An intriguing and heart-warming story of female tenacity and male duplicity. I couldn't put it down.
A fascinating story of one woman's fight to be recognised. I loved this delightful novel - strong characters, an intriguing world, a gorgeous setting and an uplifting ending. Perfect! It reminded me of Rosamund Pilcher, the kind of read you get truly lost in.
A beautiful story, written from the heart. It has all the ingredients of a deeply satisfying read - gripping plot, loveable characters, sumptuous locations, and in true Rachel Hore style, it draws you in and holds your attention until the last word. I loved it.
Beautifully written, warm and intelligent.
