Thank you for allowing me to review this book. Despite finding it difficult to get into I enjoyed it. There are many strong female characters and it was hard to remember who was who and their role in the Music Hall business. The males were confusing due to 3 of them having names beginning with A, Alec,Alan & Archie.
Set during the war when women had take over the work from the men who had been called up, it was refreshing to have positive outcomes for many despite the difficulties they faced. I liked Renee she was easy to feel sympathy for as the story unfolds. Temperance and Violet were always going to be up against prejudices of the times. The GI's bringing in the prejudices of Americans added to the atmosphere.
This is a well written easy read.

Hope for the Good Time Girls is a great story set during WW2 in London. Two dance halls in two different parts of London but run by Renee, Nancy and the good time girls. At times I wish that there were fewer main characters as it took a while to remember who’s who but each character played their part. Most characters are completely believable with one or two less so. Thanks to Fiona and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley.

The 3rd book in the Good Time Girls series. It probably could be read as a standalone, but I would advise any reader to read at least the first book before attempting this one - I have read book 1, but not the second, and I found it quite hard remembering everyone straight off.

This time round sees the Good Time Girls dealing with racial inequality, more interaction with American GIs, love, loss, and many secrets. A nice easy read, although the timeline did seem a bit erratic at some points. I hope there is a fourth installment, I really want to know how life turns out for some of the girls!

I haven't read the previous books in this Trilogy but it is a good standalone and it didn't spoil my enjoyment .Set in London WW2,I loved the community spirit of that time ,strong woman doing the best they can .A very uplifting read .Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC.

There’s a strong feeling of solidarity throughout this book and between the generations of women who lived in London during WW2.
There was pain, sadness and heartbreak, however there was always hope for a better future.
I loved the community spirit and everyone pulling together. I finished the book feeling optimistic.

I enjoy books by Nancy Revell and in many ways this by Fiona Ford is similar. However, the characters are somewhat rushed into and I felt like we didn't really get to know them well enough to invest in from the start. I must admit that I rushed through this book and would read another like it again if I needed something quick and light but it would not be one I would search out especially.

Hope For The Good Time Girls by Fiona Ford was a really hard book for me to get into. From the beginning to me, it felt very rushed and at times I felt like the characters were not explained very well. It was hard to focus on and I struggled to keep interest in it. In all honesty, I made it about 6 chapters in and just could not keep reading. I would still read other books from this author, but unfortunately this one I was not able to.

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this Arc

Another brilliant book in this series so lovely to be involved with the girls again

What a joy to join the girls again! They really don’t disappoint
This time they all have to draw on their inner strengths to help them through the hard times. As in real life there are sad times that run alongside the good times. We concentrate mainly on Renee having to live with her conscience. And with Temperance learning about her inner feelings and learning to stand up for her beliefs.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and sincerely hope to meet with them all again!

1942 Renee Hammond the owner of the Hammersmith Palais De Danse West London.
This is book Three The Good Time Girls Trilogy that I am so enjoyed and this one is a cracker.

Violet Millington and Temperance Adams working the bar making the place shine along with Janice and Nancy, Renee's brother in law the vicar makes a social call to see how she is doing and needs her help with the homeless that are been bombed out in Bethnel Green in the East End of London and is planning to open the old theatre The Regal with the American GI's over now in their flock and the style of dancing they are taking over the brits, and he is hoping to be open for the Christmas season, Renee and the good time girls its going to be hard work.

This book is opening a lot a past secrets crawling out of the woodworks and a few relationship problems especially with the GI's giving the girls a glad eye that they just can't ignore and want to have a good time, and Renee knows how to keep her Palais in order if they put a step wrong.

Loved it once again, this author has delivered another fabulous read that was so hard to put down
