I love this authors books and this one was no exception. Charming and heartwarming. A delightful read.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will. Enjoy

Good read. Entertaining and interesting characters. Good story flow. Liked the conversations and the character interactions.

A relaxing and enjoyable summer read. The vivid description of the French cobbles, markets and crisp wine make you feel as though you're in France yourself. Overall there is great characterisation and it's a warm predictable summer read. I wish I'd realised this was number 2 in the series, I definitely need to read the first instalment now!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the Publisher, Bookouture for this review copy given in exchange for an honest review.

This is Book #1 in the Little French Guesthouse series. I have to admit, I have read this series all out of order but to be perfectly honest it doesn’t really matter. They can be read as a standalone novel as they are such nice and easy to read books.

We meet Emmy Jamieson for the first time. She has gone to France with the intention of having a holiday in the sun with her boyfriend, Nathan. Unfortunately, he has other ideas and does a runner with the guesthouse’s owner, Gloria shortly after they’ve arrived. In the need to keep herself busy, Emmy offers to help out at the Guesthouse and finds herself thrust into the easy French life with lots of new friends, some better looking than others!

This book was an absolute delight to read! There was nothing about it that I didn’t like! Emmy is a darling of a character and you take to her from the first page! The setting of the book, in sunny France is so descriptive and I just want to book myself in there right now and the cover of the book is just perfect for hanging on the wall.

A heart-warming romance story with plenty of love, laughter and tears. An absolutely wonderful read! Well recommended!

Emmy has decided to take a leap of faith and left her life in England behind to stay with Rupert, the owner of La Cour des Roses. She's the manager of this beautiful guesthouse now and is determined to learn everything she needs to know to help Rupert make La Cour des Roses a success. Emmy fell in love with this place from the moment she arrived. Although the short holiday made her see the true colors of her boyfriend Emmy chooses not to dwell on it and wants to follow her dreams. Emmy has built a life for herself and is making loyal friends along the way. When an unexpected and unwanted return of Gloria, Rupert's ex-wife, is about to mess things up, Emmy is devastated. What will this mean for her job at La Cour des Roses?

Emmy has taken on the responsibility of her job with a lot of enthusiasm. She's thinking outside the box to attract more customers. Not all of them are as easygoing as Emmy hoped they would be. She invites a well know travel blogger, who has a lot of followers, to hopefully gain a positive rating. She doesn't know that this blogger has some rare character traits that might disturb the other guests. She also receives a massive booking with a lot of extras and Emmy has no idea how to pull it off. The days at La Cour des Roses are never dull and Emmy needs all of her skills to meet everyone's expectations. Will she be able to show everyone what she's made of or did she make a rash decision when she moved to France?

Emmy is such a sweetheart. She's full of life and even though she doesn't know everything there is to know about her job yet, she always tries to make the best of it. I love it when a person is looking on the bright side of life. I had a huge smile on my face when I was reading about the way Emmy interacts with people. She's a hard worker and she's never been one to crumble in the face of a crisis. Emmy has taken a huge risk, but I totally understood her motivations and I could easily imagine her living in France. Emmy has gotten burned by love and now that she has met Alain she's slowly trying to let someone in again. I loved to read about the journeys of the main characters and found them all incredibly interesting.

Ever since I read The Little French Guesthouse I fell in love with La Cour des Roses. Rupert is such a colorful character and the descriptions of the food that he cooks made my mouth water. I would be perfectly happy to spend my holiday reading in his beautiful garden and enjoying the peace and quiet at La Cour des Roses. Helen Pollard managed to take me with her on her journey to France. I have been in France when I was younger and while I was reading Return to The Little French Guesthouse all I could think about was packing my bags and start driving. Return to The Little French Guesthouse is an enchanting and heartwarming story that had me mesmerized from the beginning until the very end. I can't wait to read the next book in this series and to return, once again, to the beautiful La Cour des Roses.

A sweet and wonderful story of Emmy's adventure in France. From being dumped by her boyfriend, to finding a new job and new life, including a much better boyfriend, this story is sweet and hard to put down. There are at least three in this series, and I am eagerly jumping into the next one. A great series, and well written stories. Highly recommend this book, series and author. Great summer read.

Thank you so much for being willing to grant me access to this book. Unfortunately, life obligations have prevented me from doing so. If my schedule clears, I plan on reviewing this in the future and will post the review on Amazon and Goodreads. Thank you.
