French Kisses

To the outside world, Rachel Thompson has it made: a wealthy husband, a successful career as an artist, and a to-die-for house in the middle of rural France.

That is until her husband Michael hits 40, discovers his inner love-rat and runs off with the kids' young, skinny dance teacher.

Determined to ignore her friends’ advice to up-sticks and move back to England with her children, Rachel decides to turn their crumbly stone farmhouse into a bijou hotel.

As Rachel strives to create a new life for herself, friends and family rally around to give her a Christmas and New Year with plenty of surprises.

With help – and some hindrance – from her loved ones, Rachel transforms their home into a cosy guest house for an eclectic collection of visitors, including Josh Perry, a handsome American academic.

Although Rachel is getting plenty of attention from local admirers, her husband Michael is never far away…

Will Rachel and Michael rekindle their love affair?

Or will she be sharing French Kisses with someone else…?

‘French Kisses’ is a fun romance about starting again and learning what really matters.

"Rachel, the main character, was amazingly fleshed out and totally relatable . . . This reads almost like a memoir even though it's fiction so if you love a good rom com or want to escape to a gorgeous French village this book is for you!" Rebecca Raisin, author of Christmas at the Gingerbread Cafe.

'A warm, clever and fun read.' - Holly Kinsella, best-selling author of 'Uptown Girl'.
