The Magic of Provence by Alison Roberts
Sometimes facing your fears can be the start of something wonderful
Fiona Gilchrist has spent years running from her demons. But deciding to take back control, she packs up her life and makes the trip to Provence to be reunited with her sisters. And almost instantly, there is something about La Maisonette which is healing and Fi knows she’s ready for a chance to start again.
When an opportunity arises to work alongside vet Christophe Brabant, Fi, although hesitant cannot resist saying yes. Because immersing herself in what she loves is the ultimate distraction. And while Christophe may be utterly charming, he’s also committed to his job so Fi knows she’s in safe hands. Yet, what starts as a blossoming friendship quickly turns to something deeper. Because for the first time in her life, Fi begins to feel relaxed and completely at ease. Could it be that Christophe’s heart is more like hers than she realises? Or has she allowed him to penetrate the boundaries she always considered unbreachable?
Coming to France took a leap of faith, but in doing so it has allowed these two damaged souls a chance to find each other while Provence works its magic…

My review
I was equally as delighted to step into this third book about the Gilchrist sisters in Provence, as I was sad that it was the final one in the trilogy. Having loved the previous two, I’d been waiting for this book, and I wasn’t disappointed, despite Fiona having made only fleeting appearances in the previous two books.
As her past traumas were revealed, it didn’t take me long to understand the reasons why she’d put so much distance between herself and her family, and a character who I’d initially found cold and aloof, began to soften. All that was left was for me to get comfy, dive between the pages and wait for the magic of Provence to start to heal her broken heart. The fact that the healing process included a rather attractive French vet and an abandoned donkey foal, was just the icing on the cake. Family also plays an important role in this emotional novel, not just in the main storyline of the three sisters, but also in some of the subplots.

What I will take most from these books, aside from the strong characters and sparks of chemistry, is the absolute love for this part of France that Alison Roberts obviously has. She has a great talent to be able to drop in snippets of French culture and customs, as well as describing postcard vistas of Provencal villages, all while keeping the main storyline flowing.
Reading this trilogy will make you feel like you’ve had the most wonderful holiday in Provence and I can’t think of a better way to spend a summer.
