Publisher: Boldwood Books Publication Date: 1st March, 2022 Purchase My thoughts: Everybody loves a good second chance story and even more so, if it is set in lovely South of France... This was my first book by this talented author, but it won't be the last. It was very easy to imagine gorgeous Villa Sesame, run by sisters Delphine and Rebecca, an exotic venue for elegant, intimate weddings. But life doesn't stand still and big changes are coming to this sun-soaked, romantic place...Delphine has lost her beloved husband Andre and now would like to do what she had promised him: to retire and enjoy her life and that would mean becoming a sleeping partner in their successful business. A big wedding is coming up and with the couple's guests, friends and family, each with their own story. The stories intertwine and create new second chances at life. What I loved the most about this book is that the characters belong to a more mature category which is underrepresented in romance. Readers will appreciate the realistic way the author portrays life challenges and dilemmas the characters face. There are secrets and past mistakes, regrets and caution, born out of life experience. There's also foregiveness and hope. A heartwarming read with interesting characters and a lovely setting. Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the review copy provided in exchange for an honest opinion. Author Bio –
