I am absolutely delighted to be on the tour to celebrate the
publication of Sue Moorcroft’s Summer at the French Cafe by Avon on 12th May.
Sparkling sun, strolls in the gorgeous French countryside,
that first sip of cool, crisp wine – Summer is Kat’s favourite season. And this
year should be no exception…
As soon as Kat Jenson set foot in the idyllic French village
of Kirchhoffen, she knew she’d found her home. Now she has a dreamy boyfriend,
a delightful dog and the perfect job managing a bustling book café in the
vibrant Parc Lemmel.
But when she learns her boyfriend isn’t all he seems, it’s
the start of a difficult summer for Kat. Vindictive troublemakers, work woes
and family heartache follow, and the clear blue sky that was her life suddenly
seems full of clouds.
Then she gets to know the mysterious Noah, and her sun
begins to shine brighter than ever. But Noah has problems of his own – ones
that could scupper their new-found happiness. Together, can they overcome their
many obstacles, and find love again?
The perfect summer read for fans of Trisha Ashley, Sarah
Morgan and Carole Matthews.
My Thoughts
This is a Summer read to savour. I loved the setting in Alsace and the bookshop / cafe which Kat manages, set in the parkland. At the beginning, Kat really does seem to have the ideal life but things start to fall apart pretty quickly. Kat certainly has an independent streak and as you find out, her family dynamics are at times pretty strained. Still, she hankers after close family ties and keep going with the life she has forged. By instinct, she seems kind and hard working. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of those very characteristics.
There are plenty of interesting characters who Kat gets to meet during the story. Noah's feelings for his family show you his softer side and Kat's gorgeous dog, Angelique, adds humour to a few situations. This is a lovely story to sit down with on a sunny afternoon. The story moves at a good pace and never feels contrived. There are several story threads which have to be unravelled and some people have to learn to apologise, draw a line under events and move on.
In short: delightful romance
