The French for Love
<p><b>Like a glass of wine in the French afternoon sunshine – <i>The French for Love</i> is the perfect summer escape.</b></p> <p>Fans of <b>Katie Fforde, Carole Matthews, Victoria Connelly</b> or <b>Erica James</b> – and everyone who enjoyed Nick Alexander’s <b>The French House</b> – will love Fiona Valpy.</p> <p><b>Can happy-ever-after get lost in translation?</b></p> <p>Gina has lost her perfect job, her boyfriend and her favourite aunt all within the space of a few months.</p> <p>So when she inherits her aunt’s ramshackle French house, Gina decides to pack her bags for the Bordeaux countryside – swapping English weather for blue skies, sunshine, great wine and a fresh start.</p> <p>What she hasn’t factored in is a hole in the roof, the <i>most</i> embarrassing language faux pas, and discovering family secrets that she was never supposed to know.</p> <p>Suddenly feeling a long way from home, Gina will have to rely on new found friends, her own hard work – and Cédric – her charming, mysterious and <i>très</i> handsome new stonemason.</p> <p>But whilst desire needs no translation, love is a different matter. Can Gina overcome the language barrier to make her French dream come true?</p> <p><b>Praise for The French for Love</b></p> <p>“The French setting was perfect for the story without being cliché. The romance and courtship between Gina and Cedric is slow fermenting (much like a delicious bottle of wine from the local vineyard) and comes with some not so obvious obstacles along the way. And <b>the ending leaves you warm and fuzzy inside.</b> The French for Love is enjoyable for all the right reasons…†<br>Shaz’s Book Boudoir</br></p>
