The Dovetails Hotel is a true-to-life account of an engaging relationship relished by the guesthouse's attractive owners and their debonair handyman. With much racy humour, this tell-it-as-it-is story brings to life a covert romantic lifestyle that is far more common than is generally thought. The Dovetails Hotel is owned and managed by comely and captivating divorcees, Leonora and Felicity. After Felicity meets Gareth on a mutually arranged blind date tour of Europe the engaging Jack o' all Maids is subsequently taken on as the hotel's resident repairman. Following a wonderful reception circumstances inspire Gareth to go beyond the call of duty when the trio's mutually agreed state of affairs proves that three is not necessarily a crowd. There follows the de-stigmatisation of a marriage endorsed by heaven. The between-the-sheets story is based on real life and is femininely laced with humour, girl talk, dilemmas, compromises, romance, and at times pathos.
