| Return to the Little French Guesthouse By Helen Pollard |
My review today is for The Return to the Little French Guesthouse, the second in the La Cour des Roses series by Helen Pollard.
This book continues on
immediately from book one and with only minimal memory jogging, so I’d
definitely recommend starting from the beginning of the series and not reading
this as a stand-alone. You can read my review of book one here.
Emmy returns to France to start a
new life as Rupert’s manager at La Cour des Roses and hopefully a new
relationship with a sexy Frenchman too. Despite realising it will take time to
settle in, she soon finds her new life throwing up some rather unexpected
issues with guests, bookings and relationships, that test her resolve and make
her wonder whether she has made the right decision. Her new life is certainly more
about the hard work of running a guesthouse in France than relaxing in the
French sunshine. Then again, she also finds fun, friendship, lots of laughter
and good coffee too, which prove to be the perfect combination of things to
soothe the rollercoaster of emotions she is going through.
Helen writes in a relaxed, easy
reading style that made me feel very at home at the guesthouse and her
characters are strong and real. I enjoyed feeling like I was in France and
learning more about some of the other characters we were introduced to in the
first book. It was great to be back and I was again sad at having to leave Emmy
and her friends when I finished the book. Helen has left us poised for more and
I hope we do get another book in this series.
This book has everything you need to take a late summer break in the
Loire. There will be markets and festivals, laughter and tears, sunshine and
music and I’m sure that you will have a great time.
The La Cour des Roses series is
published by Bookoutre and available on Amazon in paperback and ebook format.
