Englishman in Blackpool is the first in the modern romantic series by Jenny O'Brien, the author of the popular Gaby Darin Detective series. This series is perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Heidi Swain and Jenny Colgan. Mr Hopper, butler to the Earl of Cosgrave, has pretty much given up on ever finding that special person in his life that is, until he meets Beverley. Beverley has got herself into a pickle, a pickle that goes by the name of Joshua. She's all set to run away from the ballet competition at Blackpool's Winter Garden's and then she meets Hopper... If you enjoyed Downton Abbey you'll enjoy this modern historical series, where lords, ladies, (and butlers), have to cope in a modern world.
