When Annie Roberts has the chance to escape rainy Accrington for the glamour of sunny Nice, it seems like a dream come true, even if it does involve dog-sitting a pampered pooch for the winter.
But, once in France, despite trying to adopt a classy persona, Annie attracts the attention of all the wrong people: from Jacques, an attractive waiter, to Reen, a perma-tanned expat from the Costa del Sol.
And just who is the charming Monsieur Xavier who is so keen to befriend her? Dare she enlist his help to solve the mystery left behind by her France-obsessed mother?
Can Annie find her way through all the lies, intrigue and deception or is she just too nice for Nice?
Praise for Love, Lies and Café au Lait
*****A jolly romantic romp with a French flavour
It’s lovely to be transported to the south of France in winter and this fun novel achieves that, along with creating some memorable characters and keeping the pages turning with a romance and a lively plot.
***** Unforgettable characters
Fun and games in Nice with unforgettable characters, this warm and witty second novel from Lynn Forth made me long to jump on a plane to the South of France to experience the place for myself. Reen must get a special mention – I think we’ve all met a Reen at some point in our lives! Brassy with a heart of gold – I loved her!
***** Wouldn’t it be Nice…..
Intriguing characters, great plot, with a wonderful sense of place—-,the sort of book you don’t want to put down, and miss so much when you finish it!
The author has a talent for making readers fall in love with her characters. They are believable, vulnerable and I was totally invested in wanting the best for the protagonists.
***** Entertaining, clever sunshiney read
A second novel from Lynn Forth is always cause for celebration. This is the story of poisson out of water Annie, who heads for the south of France to do a spot of dog-sitting and encounters a whole raft of entertaining characters. The big question being, will she settle for a nice cuppa or go for a cafe au lait?
It’s more entertaining, clever stuff with Lynn’s trademark wit and fun, and keen eye for detailed language. The French setting feels very authentic and it’s a breezy read, just perfect for putting some va va voom into a chilly day.
***** Wonderful, witty and warm.
Annie’s French adventure makes me want to jump on a plane to Nice. Engaging writing, a colourful cast of characters, intrigue, and romance make this the perfect read for any time of the year.
***** A perfect escape.
Riveting romantic romp around the Riviera, full of misunderstandings and mishaps. There are lots of interesting characters to get to know, from down-to-earth Annie from Accrington to fabulous Reen.
***** Engages you from the start then you can’t put it down.
Loved this second novel from the ever-improving pen of Lynn Forth. The story of Annie from Accrington and her experiences and misadventures in the gloriously sunny setting of Nice, as she tries to assume a sophisticated ‘French’ persona, had me laughing and cringing in turns. There are some wonderfully drawn supporting characters – particularly ex-pat Reen with her tan, bling, clacking heels & heart of gold. Aren’t we all familiar with, or have met, someone like her? In the end, of course, it is she who engineers the inevitable happy conclusion to Annie’s roller coaster romance with waiter Jack – a lovely, uplifting read to get you through the dark days of winter. Looking forward to novel 3!
