A review by readingonmountains
Hotel Portofino by J.P. O'Connell

3.0

Bella Ainsworth fell in love with the Italian riviera on her honeymoon. Now her children have grown, the Great War has ended and she has moved her family back to realize her dream of owning an upscale British hotel. Set in the roaring 20s during the heat of high summer this book has all the promises of a Downton Abbey-esque vibe. Handsome gentlemen, pretty heiresses, scandalous trysts with servant girls, forbidden love, blackmail! I enjoyed the storyline but wanted a bit more from the ending.
