love in a warm climate

It’s a nice title, isn’t it? And for me, it’s nicer, more familiar even, because that love and warm climate, takes place right here in the south of France, my stomping grounds (sure it’s set in the Languedoc, and not Provence, but whatever). And get this… the subtitle is, A Novel about the French Art of Love… c’est très romantique, no?

Gibson Square Books has kindly asked me to read Love in a Warm Climate, written by Helena Frith Powell, and tell you all about it. And even better, give away a copy to a lucky one of you.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………

“What do you do if you find a bra in your husband’s luggage that isn’t yours – or even his? This is the dilemma facing Sophie Reed shortly after she moves to France…” – Love in a Warm Climate

This is chick lit at it’s finest. It’s easy breezy, full of that sort of delicious escapism that we all wish we could swim in… serious fairy tale stuff like a sexy and charming wealthy Frenchman, a gorgeous movie star, St Tropez, Champagne, Pretty Woman style shopping excursions, and your very own vineyard… you know the stuff. That stuff that will never ever happen, not in a million billion years, but you still soak up every word and dream.

My soaking up of every word was primarily done on the bean bag on my terrace; glass of Rosé in hand as the sun set. And honestly, Love in a Warm Climate was lovely company, I truly enjoyed it, in all of it’s fluffy fun glory. It’s like a glass of pink bubbly.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………

  8. Hi Sara, I've just become lucky follower number 400, and I promise it's not because of the giveaway (although the book sounds great). I found my way to your blog via Kerry's sidebar, and already want to know as much about Le Petit Village and its inhabitants as possible. Nice to find you! Amanda

  25. I follow you on twitter, but you already knew that! =)If I could be in love anywhere in the world I'd probably choose a small beach town somewhere… Bermuda? Hawaii? Cap Ferret? Anything works for me as long as it's warm, there's a nice breeze coming off the water and I have my sweet mister there with me!
