We are returning to France for another great summer read by Gillian Harvey . The Village Cafe in the Loire was published by Boldwood on July 12th. High-flyer Becky Thorne cannot believe what she’s being told. She doesn’t need to be signed off for burnout! Life has been a bit chaotic lately, that’s all. As if dealing with her enviable job and permanent meddling from her mother aren’t enough, she’s also inherited a café in the Loire from an estranged great-aunt, complete with sitting tenant who refuses to budge. But nobody stands in Becky’s way! Ignoring her best friend Amber’s advice, she decides to storm over to France and sort the tenant out. Then she can finally get the café sold and jump back on the career ladder. What she doesn’t count on is the tenant being Pascale, who is six feet of tall, dark, handsome and extremely grumpy about her plans for change. Not to mention the village and the secrets it holds about her past. Becky’s path to succes...

My Thoughts
Callum and Alice’s story is both romantic and emotional but always has a lightness of tone, despite the dramatic situation which Alice finds herself in. You always feel a connection between them but are never sure whether they will be able to find their way back to a shared life.
Family is very important in the story. Alice’s family play a big part in the ten dates as they happen. Alice longs for the type of marriage her parents and brother have but she has always had an independent streak and stubbornness which has made it hard for her to admit her feelings. You can’t help but admire Callum’s determination to get through to her and never doubt that he loves her. As Alice’s memories begin to reappear she realises that she is going to have to trust her instincts as to what is real and authentic. This is a great read if you are looking for some out and out romance.
In short: will love find a way?
