Far more of a challenge though is their father – an impossibly good looking French count with whom she is rapidly falling in love .

Recently her old hobbies of ironing and housework have given way to singing, Flamenco dancing and husky racing. It’s the story of Alexandra, a 20 year old orphan who manages to fall into a job as a nanny to three children in Provence. Set in the early 60s, a chance meeting in Paris will change 20-year-old Alexandra’s life… at least for the summer.The children's father - a count and very handsome often works away and Alexandra is left to cope with this alone. And those kids, Stephie especially, just make this book extra special, I loved how blunt and honest Stephie was, she really doesn’t mince her words and it’s so sweet how she gets on with Alexandra so quickly. The food descriptions had my mouth watering when reading about the lovely French pastries and delicious meals. It’s a while since I’ve made French onion soup or coq au vin and I think they’ll need to be on the menu soon. I love any book that can take me on a beautiful journey in foreign countries, from the comfort of my home.

Far more of a challenge though is their father - an impossibly good looking French count with whom she is rapidly falling in love . Though instantly attracted to Antoine she knows that there are too many reasons why they could never be a couple and focuses all of her love and attention on his 3 children. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Now she has to care for children who view her ‘with a mixture of hostility, resentment and defiance’. Alexandra is an engaging character who diverts from her journey to a finishing school in Switzerland to become a nanny for a short time in Provence which becomes life changing.

I loved Jack and Penelope reuniting and falling love again and even David f ding love, yet having to still stay hidden due to social convention. Set in the early sixties this is a charming romantic read,I'll not go into the story just sit back and relax . Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
