Description
Ooh la la! A historical rom-com with a modern twist-perfect for fans of Bridgerton, A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, and She's All That.
Evie Clement has perfected the art of avoiding attention as she works at her family's bakery and dreams of a life where she can trade dusting flour for designing dresses. Her focus is on honing her sewing skills - she doesn't need to be fawned over by some teenage boy.
Least of all Beau Bellegarde - the playboy of Paris, the second son of the ultra-wealthy Bellegarde family, the most popular guy in their prestigious high school. Others may swoon over his rakish charm and winning smile, but not Evie.
Unfortunately for Evie, Beau needs her. His conniving step-brother has roped him into an impossible bet: turn the biggest wallflower they know into the winning Bellegarde Bloom at the annual Court of Flowers Ball, or lose his entire fortune.
Evie can't understand why Beau has taken an interest in her, but she can't help but be intrigued. As she befriends Beau, entering a world of high-status parties, she has to ask herself one question... why?
'The She's All That historical romance retelling of my dreams! When I wasn't savouring the lush, descriptive prose, I was eagerly devouring the smart, perfectly paced, heart-pounding romance. There's no doubt about it: Jamie Lilac makes a sparkling debut' Brian Kennedy, author of A Little Bit Country

As a die hard 00s rom com and regency fan I was intrigued by the premise of She’s All That meets Bridgerton and thankfully this one hit all the sweet spots! I really appreciated the development of the story and although it was fairly close to the film so I knew what was coming, it was still an enjoyable read. Of course I fell in love with Evie and Beau and shouted at the book at the dastardly Julien and Rachelle, and swooned a little at the Duke!
Overall a cute regency read that would be a great stepping stone for younger readers.

Described as Bridgerton meets She’s all That I knew this was going to be my kind of book, but also an entertaining read, I wasn’t wrong, it’s exactly what I was hoping for and the description spot on ! Bellgarde is an addictive story that I couldn’t put down. I loved the relationship between Evie and Beau, it was so lovely, full of chemistry, this is a wonderful debut and I’m so looking forward to more from Jamie Lilac
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Bellgarde was a beautiful story that i consumed within 24 hours - I absolutely adored the "she's all that" remake between Evie and Beau, their friendship/romance was magical and swoon-worthy. A phenomenal debut by Jamie, I can't wait to see what she brings us next.
