I always love reading a Katie Fforde book and this one did not disappoint. A charming romantic read that has left me wanting to book a trip to France. A perfect holiday read.

Loved this, the second book in the series. It expanded on the story of Alex, which was very different to the first book but really enjoyable.

I absolutely loved this Katie Fforde book such a lovely charming read. I loved the characters and the settings, I do enjoy reading books set in foreign countries. I especially enjoyed reading about France in this story. Katie Fforde knows how to write such interesting and believable characters that are so wonderful. I loved reading about Alexandra!

Highly recommend this story to any romance readers especially ones set in France. I have always enjoyed Katie Fforde books and this one did not disappoint. Thank you to net galley for my copy!

I loved this latest novel from Katie Fforde. It’s an easy, engaging read, with her usual happy ending. I shall miss the Provençal world of the well drawn characters she created.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Loved this book, was a lovely read set in 1963 in Provence following Alexandra who travels to Paris after finishing school in Switzerland and accepts a job as a nanny however doesn't really feel as though she fits in. Felt this had a really cute storyline and a nice clean romance. Perfect for a holiday read

I love Katie Fforde! Her books are so well written and this was no exception. Great characters and a really well written story line. Recommended.

Lovely! Feelgood, uplifting romance at its best from the queen of HEA. Glorious setting takes the reader away to sunnier settings.

I’ve read a few of Fforde’s books now and will look out for more!

I really loved the book. The writing, the characters, the setting… we’re all perfect. I would have given it five stars if it weren’t for the ending… I wanted it to carry on or give a final chapter a couple of years later.

When you want a guaranteed good romantic feel good read pick Katie Ffjorde! It only took a couple of pages before the book has you encapsulated and this particular one finds us in France in 1963! It's a 2nd book apparantly but can be read as a stand alone. Lie back and enjoy!

The writing in this book is definitely unique and the coincidences where a bit unbelievable. But I don't know what it is but I just found it really boring like I am currently 5 chapters in and I'm just like this is kind of dull. So unfortunately I will be dnfing as I just don't think I care to continue which is disappointing as I heard great things about Katie Fforde's writing.

I've been a fan of Katie's for a while now. This story took a little while to get my attention, though when it did, I was able to settle back and enjoy the journey the author took me on. Unusually set in 60's France, this was my only issue, as I had a little trouble with the setting otherwise, pure Katie.

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

I love a Katie Fforde book so was really excited about this - lived up to expectations and was a nice, fun, light hearted read.

I had heard so much about the amazing Katie Fforde and was loathe to admit I'd actually never read any of her books! This book was a great introduction, however, and I will definitely be going back for more. It is set in the 1960's which I found intriguing, although at times I felt I needed to be reminded of the time. Set in France, where our lead has become nanny for three lovely children, I quickly fell into the loveliness of the settings-a wonderful chateau, and the lightness of the day to day tending to children on your own in a new country. It was a very light read, with more wistful romance than comedy, with some dramatic French characters peppered throughout, but I smiled a good few times and really enjoyed. Actually I jumped between the audiobook and kindle for this when I wasn't in the car so I definitely enjoyed enough to read on.Thanks so much to the publisher for the book in return for an honest review.

Enjoyable, set in Provence during the 1960s. A chateau, 3 children, one handsome Comte, one disapproving Grandmere, one estranged mother, one guy friend all make for a light, quick read, perfect holiday book.

Thanks to Netgalley for my copy in return for my unbiased review

I genuinely cannot recommend this book enough.
If you have not yet experienced Katie Fforde then I envy you discovering her for the first time.
Her books are an enormous comfort that allow the reader to escape into a world where we know we will be cosseted and that everything will work out in the end. What more can anyone ever want?
This latest novel is equally wonderful. Buy it, you won't regret it!

Well this wasn't what I was expecting but did enjoy it once I got into it
Set in France in the 60's Alexandria is 20 and set to go to a finishing school in Switzerland but doesn't really want to go so manages to get a job as a temporary nanny to 3 children whose father is a count and works away a lot
Can she get along with the children or will she have to go to Switzerland?
