"Inside the spectacular Grand Ballroom of the exclusive Buckingham Hotel the rich and powerful, politicians, film stars, even royalty, rub shoulders with Raymond de Guise and his troupe of talented dancers from all around the world, who must enchant them, captivate them, and sweep away their cares."
One Enchanted Evening by Anton Du Beke exceeded my expectations. It was entertaining and easy to follow, but there was also much more depth to the plot and characters than I initially thought there would be.

Alongside the suave Raymond is a country girl, Nancy who comes to work at the Buckingham as a chambermaid. Nancy is a young woman with aspirations and is almost starstruck at seeing Raymond. There is a nice love story that follows Nancy and Raymond.
However, my only problem is that there is too much detail about the ball and the Palace and not enough meaningful content. We get that the hotel and ballroom are fancy and the guests are of a higher class but the story needs to move on.
