The Vineyard in Alsace slipped into my handbag, with ease. It was ‘fantastique’ to escape with a book that whispered, ‘bonjour chérie’ until it was completed.
The novel can boast a vineyard, a dilapidated chateau, glorious food and all the ingredients of a delicious romance. Fran leaves her dominating, cheating fiancé and finds my ideal job in a vineyard, but she does not know that it is owned by, Didier, a former lover. 
Didier is a ‘gorgeous’, warm-hearted and intelligent man and Fran is also intelligent confident and ‘beguiling’. They are thrown together again by circumstances but can the fairy-tale last forever? Didier is a dedicated father and his daughter, Chloe, is his priority. Chloe is brought to life beautifully throughout the story; the reader can delight in the simple pleasures of a child’s world.
Didier is passionate about the vineyard and cooking so let’s hope that his passionate nature bodes well for this romantic novel. The story will set your ‘heart racing’ as the story unfolds but the harmony may be broken when there are so many others to consider? Will the chateau cast its magic spell on the inhabitants of the estate, or will the villains return to torment their dreams? Is the prince charming too good to be true? All will be revealed in the novel as it winds its way towards autumn and the grape harvest. The author will guide you through her narrative with her warm, inviting style.
