Yet another great book by Jo. Beautifully written book with lovely, friendly characters and setting. This one ticks all the boxes for me and didn't disappoint.

Jo Thomas has done it again. You can never fault a book written by her. From the story, characters and the setting, it was all so perfect.

Yet again Jo Thomas does not disappoint.
Loved this book so much, can't wait for the next one!
There is something so loveable about the characters Jo writes, you always hope they get their happy ending, but never quite sure they will!

I wasn't aware that Jo was releasing a sequel for Del and Fabien's story, so I was very excited and surprised to realise this when I started reading the first chapter and everything sounded so familiar! This was a gorgeous return to delightful characters, delicious foods and stunning settings. I really enjoyed seeing where all of the familiar characters were in their lives and I absolutely adored the beautiful ending that everyone got. It was a magical story, not without it's troubles, but it warmed my heart right up nevertheless.

Come on a join a group in very different individuals on their journey of self discovery in the heart of France midst its lavender fields . A story of love trust betrayal heart ache and eventual self satisfaction. As ever in her books this is based round a culinary theme but perhaps not as strong in this book . Soak up the atmosphere with Del and her motley crew who are the backbone of this adventure.
Come smell the lavender and beef en Daube. An easy summer read

A wonderful escape to Provence from Jo Thomas. A group of different people descend to help take in the Lavender harvester that belongs to Jen. Jen and her friends are grieving after the death of a close friend Henri. With lots of different relationships and emotions the book takes Gen and her friends on a journey to find out what matters most. Thanks to Jo and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley

Can’t beat the descriptions of the scenery in this book. I could almost smell the lavender in the air. I enjoyed how all the different characters although so varied, came together to create something beautiful, different and saved several people from unhappiness. I don’t think you can ask for more from a story.

Lovely story set in France, showing the meaning of love friendship and community.
When the community come together after the death of one of their most important members, everyone wants to pull together and remember him.
However, his estranged son is dead against this and sets up to destroy his memory and the community.
Also storyline around trust, and bereavement.

I received a free copy of, Love In Provence, by Jo Thomas, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Del is in Provence, living her best life, until the love of her life goes away for awhile. Temptation arises like it does, will Del and Fabian stay together? This was a good read, but not my favorite by Jo Thomas.

The scent of lavender just flew off the page.
I really want to live in a farm house in France now. Sounds idyllic. Hard work but still.
I always feel I am on holiday when reading Jo Thomas.
Lovely and warm

With Del’s marriage having broken down, when her husband returns to the UK she decides to remain in Provence running Henri’s bistro and lavender farm. With Fabien, her lover, and wonderful set of friends in the community, everything goes to plan until she persuades Fabien to rejoin his band, and the mistral causes havoc.

Having read most of Jo Thomas’s books I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of them. She really gets inside her characters, enjoying their laughter, and emotively feeling their heartbreak and fears. The Provencal scene is set perfectly, with wonderful recipes, and you can almost smell the scent drifting from the lavender fields.

Del wonders whether she made the right decision by persuading Fabien to rejoin his band, and when Zacharie, Henri’s son takes over his bistro she is determined to keep its delicious country recipes, rather than become the expensive gourmet restaurant desired by Zackerie.

The book is about communities, families and relationships, in all their shapes and sizes. Del and most of the characters are friendly and warm, with their own stories woven into the main theme. An engrossing, captivating story, recommended for an entertaining summer read.

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers for the arc of Love in Provence by Jo Thomas.

Apparently this is a second in series, I haven’t read the first book, but I didn’t feel in any way that it affected my enjoyment at all. I could practically feel the warmth of the sun on my skin that’s how well written this book is, the author certainly has a way with words that you can just sink into the picture she paints with them. Read it, you won’t be disappointed.

What a lovely and heart warming read. I loved the community spirit that was created, how everyone pitched in and helped Del when she needed it most. Strangers being kind and supportive.

Del and Fabian are a great couple, and I enjoyed how they navigated around each other, each wanting to give the other space, but still totally in love with each other. Seeing them together, how much calm Fabian brings to Del and how big both their hearts are.

The pickers were great, each from different backgrounds and with different baggage, I liked seeing them grow and slowly flourish and how they came together and supported each other and helped each other find their new happy.

The ending made me shed a bit of a tear, it was very lovely and moving. A real sense of love, friendship and community was created and really felt a part of it.

This is the second instalment of Dels life in Provence, France. Like the first book it has a wonderful feel good factor. The characters, both old and new are great and the descriptions of the setting transported me to parts of France I have visited and love. Well worth a read.

Another thoroughly enjoyable read from Jo Thomas. This was a follow up to an earlier book also set in Provence. The author managed to bring everyone up to speed so it didn’t matter if you had read the previous book or not.

It was at times funny, heart warming, sad and all sorts of emotions. I was able to connect with the characters and empathise with them.

Lovely feel good book that would be a great holiday read.

Thank you for the opportunity to review.

I thought this was a very nice, likeable and safe read. We follow a group of people as they find themselves coming together, to work on a Lavender farm in Provence. Along the way they will make friendships and events may change their lives in ways they never imagined.
I thought the setting was nice and Thomas does a good job at transporting the reader to a hot summer in Provence. I liked the characters and there is a good balance of different personalities which helped to keep my interest. The plot was enjoyable although a little obvious.
Everything about this book was nice but there was nothing spectacular to set it apart from other books.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House UK for an advance copy.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Del has lived in France the past couple years. She loves her boyfriend and the friends she has made. This was a quick read.

Another brilliant read, As I was reading I felt like I’d been transported to another way of living and I love everything about it. This author has a way with words that truly emmerses you into her books. Im not going to remind you of the plot just read and you won’t be disappointed

At first I was unsure I was going to get into the latest from Jo Thomas. Oh how wrong was I. Set in Provence, amongst the lavender fields of a small town, the scene is set for romance across the ages; memories of old dear friends but also experiences being made with new friends that will add to the rich tapestry of the lives it touches. I was engrossed in it and wanted to read to the end, albeit we never want stories to end, when they’re a cracker, do we. Another good read from Jo Thomas.

I had been eagerly looking forward to readinfg “love in provance” after finding Jo Thomas at Christmas and loving “countdown to Christmas”. Thank you to NetGalley for letting me read it a little early. It did not disappoint

I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was such a heartfelt story, I think I went through every emotion along the way! Gives such thought provoking view on friendships and where “home” truly is
