As the youngest of four, Nina Hadley has always had her big brothers telling her what to do. So, when she’s given the chance to move to Paris and help run a patisserie course, she can’t say au revoir quick enough! There’s just one problem: high-flying chef Sebastian Finlay is the owner of the patisserie. He’s also her brother Nick’s best friend – and the man she has secretly been in love with since forever. Amongst the mouth-wateringly delicious eclairs and delicate macaroons, Nina’s culinary creations aren’t the only tempting thing she’s working with…”

My Review

This was such a lovely book and one I’m so glad I finally read. I’m a huge fan of this series and always pre-order the next book when I know it’s coming out. For some reason this book was left hidden away on my kindle app for ages even though I knew I’d really enjoy it. Funny how that happens isn’t it?!

Nina was a wonderful main character. I loved her get up and go, and really admired the way she took herself off to Paris, not really knowing what to expect. Coming from a big family myself I understood her desire to get away from her siblings at times and thought the descriptions of growing up in a large family were spot on.

I loved the friends she made, especially Marguerite, Maddie and Marcel the grumpy waiter. I wasn’t so keen on Sebastian though, he was far too full of himself for my liking, not a particularly nice character. In fact I felt rather sorry for Nina at times for the way Sebastian treated her.

The descriptions of the patisserie were mouth watering and I even contemplated making some eclairs or profiteroles whilst reading it. I didn’t give in to the temptation though as I was on holiday, but I think I may have made some if I’d been at home.

A lovely romance and a wonderful third book in this fab series. If you’re looking for a summer romance I definitely recommend this one. In fact, I recommend the whole Romantic Escapes series!
