About the Book
start 

The Boulangerie on the Corner
 Grab your passport for the first in the European Escapes series 

No home. No job. No boyfriend.

When Lia loses her job straight after a break-up, she escapes to the Molins’ family-run boulangerie in Toulouse – the place she was last happy, far away from her cheating ex.

Sworn off men, she isn’t prepared for the spark she feels for charming cheesemaker Jean-Luc, nor for things heating up at the family’s country home in Gascony when handsome, self-assured vineyard-owner Théo asks her out.

Torn between the two and her connections to the Molins family, Lia has some tough decisions to make.

Lia loves being back in France with the people she cares about, helping in the boulangerie. On discovering it is under threat of closure, she is devastated and resolves to do everything in her power to help it stay open.

Will she succeed? And will she be able to choose between the two handsome Frenchmen and live her happily ever after?

For fans of Gillian Harvey, Rebecca Raisin, Jo Thomas and Veronica Henry.

Maybe this novel should come with a diet trigger warning LOL, because the smells and atmosphere from the French Boulangerie created by the author are rather well done. (Don't read on an empty stomach!)

Lia is an interesting character and her dire situation immediately becomes apparent - she's lost her job, her flat and her boyfriend, so she decides to revisit a family she knew from the past - except, they are in France. 

This is an engaging, delightful read, a romance, yes, but also a glimpse into human nature where personal difficulties can bring out the best in people when there is a need to rise to the occasion and help where help is required. (And it also shows how some people can be utter scumbags!)

A good **** four star read
