A Wedding in Provence: From the #1 bestselling author of uplifting feel-good fiction

Product Information

This book is like a lovely, warm hug in front of a toasty fire, It's essentially The Sound of Music story, with less music and just enough original details so that it is not merely derivative. Ah to try and find the words to sum up this book… I absolutely loved reading this, I buddy read it with Laura and we both ended up racing through this in a little over 36 hours as it was just so good. I liked how the book was written it had a chatty feel to it which I liked, I liked Alexandra, I felt as though she was a strong women that people could look up to.

But, the job is in a chateau in rural Provence, with 3 children to look after, no experience and a very attractive Count; can Alexandra forge her own path? Soon, however, she finds herself up against Antoine’s former mother-in-law, Grand-mère, who wants to move in and educate the children so they ‘do not grow up as savages’. As I have been reading and enjoying her novels since 1995, I think I can safely say her writing never fails to provide just what I need at the time.

Recommended as a perfect read for when one is in the mood for a readable romance, with the inevitable happy ending. As a big fan of The Sound of Music, I enjoyed following the relationship and comparing it to Maria and Captain von Trapp’s.

I felt the book had strong The Sound of Music vibes with Sophie being hired as a governess to reluctant children and falling in love with their handsome but distant father. A Wedding in Provence follows Alexandra, a young woman who is desperately trying to avoid the life expected of her by her relations.

Even Grandmere Penelope, who seemed so formidable at the beginning, softened as she let love into her life. Far more of a challenge though is their father - an impossibly good looking French count with whom she is rapidly falling in love .The plot line isn't completely original, and there are no real surprised, but the quality of Katie Fforde's writing elevates it to a 5 Star for me. I can’t fault anything in this book, I can only fault Katie herself… for not writing more than one book a year! Alexandra enlists the help of her good friend from England - gay something still illegal in England and her in turn brings a friend. How will she learn to cope with the three children of the French count who is the father to the three, as she finds herself falling for him?
