The next part of the story, Summer on the French Riviera follows on from Christmas on the French Riviera... Now that Gabby, Elodie and Harriet have moved to France, will their family bond mend?

I enjoyed the book, largely because I enjoyed it's prequel and the chance to revisit the characters, tie up ends and learn how their story finishes. However, that feels very much just the purpose of this book - I'm not sure if you read it without having read 'Christmas' that you'd feel the same attachment to the characters or their story. It's a nice escapist read but is definitely recommend it's prequel over this one.

Secrets and family drama galore in this one. High levels of sass and family drama. Funny moments, scream out loud moments and sweet moments too.

A light bubbly read. Three generations of woman moving to the South of France where the grandmother came from. You had history of old and new love. A daughter forgiving her mother for abandoning her. A lovely art gallery and no money shortage and a nice neat tidy ending. Loved it

Perfect Setting,,
Three generations of women reunited, secrets that threaten to tear them apart once again and a bond that can never really be broken. Once gathered at the Villa Espoir in Southern France, these women may well realise that as painful as the past is it simply cannot be ignored. Deftly drawn and credible characters populate an emotional narrative threaded with humour and warmth in a delicious family drama with a nigh on perfect setting.

This is my first book by Jennifer Bohnet. The stunning cover and title drew me to this book, instantly calling to me to read it.

Set in the South of France with Cannes and Monaco on its doorstep, we are introduced to three generations of women: Gabrielle, her daughter, Harriet and granddaughter Elodie.

Returning to live in France, her place of birth, had never been in her life goals until one New Year that changed everything. Against the stunning French countryside and a stunning villa, the woman all begin to find themselves having to face their pasts. For Gabriella that means returning to her childhood home and maybe finding love again with Phillippe.

For Elodie, though, it's different. Moving to France means she can finally begin the career she's always wanted: to be a serious journalist. However she's a woman who has a complicated history. Abandoned by her mother, when she disappeared off to Australia after marrying, what can only be described as a nasty piece of work late husband, Elodie wants to know who her father is. But for Harriet that means opening Pandora's box, something she's unwilling to do.

And who can blame her? When we eventually meet Jack - I originally don't like him and still don't. I just found him pushy, impatience and doesn't really listen to the people around him especially when it comes to his long lost daughter. One he never knew about.

This book is well written with little surprises along the way. It won't be the last one of her books I read either.

Can't get away this summer or fed up of the dull raining? Well read this because not only will it transport you to the French riviera, it will also have you laughing.
The book has everything you need, fab characters, amazing location, fun, laughter, all wrapped up with a beautiful cover
I loved this book and will happily buy it to add to my summer read because I want yo read it again.

What can be better than escaping to the French Riviera?

This fairly light hearted summer adventure follows three generations of ladies Gabby, Harriet and Elodie starting their new life together in a villa in France.

I loved the art, food and exploring the French Riviera in this book.

A lovely easy read to escape for a few hours this summer, perfect!
