Cute story, perfect for summer time. It was only that half way through reading I realized that I’m not into the “I’m in love with my dad’s best friend” trope.

I adored this book. It's a sweet and sexy read involving an age-gap romance and a summer in the south of France.
Both the MMC and the FMC are flawed in some ways ... they both have childhood trauma, and are scared and vulnerable to let love in, but when they do, it absolutely explodes.
There are a few hiccups along the way, but the couple get their happy ending.
All of the characters in this book are fantastic, the setting is wonderful, and I liked the way the book was written.
Summer love is such a special thing, especially when it turns into forever.

Hell if it meant I got a chateau in France I'd fuck him too
I have already forgotten their names my bad. Old Hot Man has some baggage omg and he doesn't want to let it gooooo sorry you're hot and rich and have multiple properties but you're sad 😱
Young Foodie Girl is sweet but like??? Are you actually serious? She pissed me off a little she just felt naive and immature at times.
Ending kinda ruined the whole book for me ngl

this is such a beautiful, european romance. such a great piece of work for a debut ❤️🔥
i am a sucker for the age gap trope and this one was so wonderfully done.
this makes me long for beautiful summer days, soaking in the sun with a good book.
the lust-filled slow burn was just amazing!!
i am looking forward to reading the rest of the series

I didn’t enjoy this as much as I hoped I would. But I think that’s more to do with my reading slump than the book specifically…
I also realised while reading that I’m not a fan of ‘dad’s best friend trope’… it’s a little too close for me.

Got about 60% done but I just became bored. They got together and I just wasn’t interested anymore.
I also found my self zoning out with all the food conversation.
