Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-25 00:00:00 Steve Pearl Reasonably good romance involving a Frenchman, Raoul, and a young English widow, Susan, with complications thrown into the mix by a scheming neighbor, an imperious grandmother, and some less-than-reliable employees. Much of the plot involves Susan's efforts to preserve her family estate by turning it into an upscale restaurant with the assistance of Raoul, who is an experienced manager but is fighting his family's desire for him to return to his native land and focus on the vineyards there.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-05-01 00:00:00 Richard Branch If I'm not mistaken, this would be the first Lilian Peake that I read. And boy oh boy... what the heck was that? It was like riding on a roller coaster and I really wanted to scream. I just couldn't find the correct words to describe the heroine and the Hero. heroine wanted to have love-less (full of sex) relationship and the Hero wanted a love-less (but full of sex) marriage. They agreed on something : the love-less (full of sex part). But when heroine made friends with other men, Hero got angry bird and when Hero got friendly with other women (plus the ex-wife thing), heroine got crazy haha. Have you ever felt a strong urge to smash two rocks into each other? That's what I felt when I read about the two. Honestly! But they really had full of sex sex sex sex... not really descriptive like today's standards but sex sex sex hahahahaha....
