A sizzling heat wave is only part of the drama unfolding on the sun-drenched Côte d’Azur ...
When Kat and Philippe settle into a new season as innkeepers at the Villa des Violettes, extraordinary stories are revealed by guests. Ancestry, intrigue, and lessons in friendship are part of the narrative. As summer draws to a close, an urgent call sends Kat and Philippe back to Sainte-Mathilde where the family gathers to support each other in an emergency situation.
From the splendor of the lavender season through to the changing landscape of autumn and the festivities of the grape harvest, the Love in Provence characters face challenges, make memories and attempt to maintain their usual joie de vivre!
My thoughts about Lavender, Loss & Love at the Villa des Violettes ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First line—"Kat leaned her cheek against the cool window of the rail car as the train carried her back to Antibes.
I love my visits to the Villa des Violettes and being able to reconnect once again with Kat and Philippe. The newest installment of this amazing series once again swept me off my feet and landed me in the beautiful country of France.
There is plenty of drama this time around but also great friendships and family togetherness. There is so much love and support within this community and I really felt like I was a part of it. From the beautiful tour of the lavender fields, a relaxing cruise with good friends, and the gracious hospitality of Villa owners, this story felt like a vacation for me. It was a wonderful way to spend my time as I totally became immersed in the land, the culture, and the connections.
Take a trip to the Villa des Violettes. I know you will enjoy your time there as much as I did.
