    About this audiobook

    Like a glass of wine in the French afternoon sunshine, The French for Love is the perfect summer escape.

    Can happy-ever-after get lost in translation?

    Gina has lost her perfect job, her boyfriend, and her favorite aunt all within the space of a few months.

    So when she inherits her aunt's ramshackle French house, Gina decides to pack her bags for the Bordeaux countryside-swapping English weather for blue skies, sunshine, great wine and a fresh start.

    What she hasn't factored in is a hole in the roof, the most embarrassing language faux pas, and discovering family secrets that she was never supposed to know.

    Suddenly feeling a long way from home, Gina will have to rely on new found friends, her own hard work-and Cedric-her charming, mysterious, and tres handsome new stonemason.

    But whilst desire needs no translation, love is a different matter. Can Gina overcome the language barrier to make her French dream come true?
