\nWith few roots in England and having just lost her job, Amy Carter decides to give up on home and start a new life in France, spending her redundancy package turning an overgrown Proven\u00e7al farmhouse, Bellefontaine, into a successful hotel.<\/p>\n

Though she has big plans for her new home, none of them involves falling in love \u2013 least of all with Fabien Coste, the handsome but arrogant owner of a nearby ch\u00e2teau. As romance blossoms, eerie and strange happenings in Bellefontaine hint at a dark mystery of the Proven\u00e7al countryside which dates back many centuries and holds an entanglement between the ladies of Bellefontaine and the ducs de Coste at its centre. As Amy works to unravel the mystery, she begins to wonder if it may not just be her heart at risk, but her life too.<\/p>\n

My Review<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I loved this book! I’m a sucker for anything set in France so this one fit the bill right away. Couple that with the strange happenings at Amy’s farmhouse, Bellefontaine, and I HAD to read it.<\/p>\n

Marie’s descriptive narrative drew me in right away and kept me turning the pages. I could visualize the places easily and her characters were strong and believable.<\/p>\n

I recommend this book to anyone who loves books set in France with mystery and romance combined.<\/p>\n

5-stars!<\/p>\n
