Summary

Heartbroken following the death of her partner, Susan Parks knows she needs to find a new life, so she leaves her life in England and moves to Cannes. There Susan encounters the enigmatic Gustave. He seems intrigued by Susan, and begins a determined campaign to win her over. 

His attentions are flattering, and unexpected, but Susan’s emotions are too raw. As they get to know one another, however, Susan learns more about Gustave’s story - his ambitious plans for the stunning château he owns, his own tragic loss. 

Susan can’t run from her growing feelings, but nor can she forget the heartache that brought her to France. She has a choice to make: to hide in bittersweet memories of the past or to take a chance on love.

Very short book for the money but enjoyable

I enjoyed listening to this story but was disappointed at the length - it seems poor value to pay 7.99 or one credit for a book which lasts about a quarter of the time of others in the same category. That said, I did enjoy it but wish Carol Drinkwater would learn to put the emphasis in the right place in respite! I will be listening again as I did enjoy it.
