I loved this book I just wish I had read the first two in the series What is there not to love Great characters, tragedy, love, surprises along the way, and making tough decisions in the face of tragedy.I enjoy books that have that element of what would I do if I were in that situation Also, real situations that can happen to anyone but when you see it play out with others, it makes you think Not to mention that having moved from one country to start a new life in a new country is a decision tha [...]

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.I Promise You This is the third book in the Love in Provence series While the book does fill in details about major events that happened in the first two books, there are some minor characters from the first two books who show back up in this book without explanation, so I would recommend reading the series in order instead of reading this book as a stand alone.At the start of the book, Kat is heading back to her h [...]
