Publisher Description
“This light and fizzy rom-com is like a mini-vacation.” —Apple Books Review, Best Book of August
Café au lait, career epiphanies, and love triangles.
Just a typical day at your summer job. When recent business school grad and meticulous ten-year planner, Kat McLauren, takes an unplanned au pair position in the French Riviera to schmooze a future employer, she haphazardly upholds her reputation while rejuvenating a local tourism magazine, grappling with three unruly kids, and avoiding a romance with the host family's eldest son. But if a summer full of well-aged wine, sizzling flirtation, and a bit of betrayal can promise one thing, it’s that sometimes the best things in life are the ones we don’t plan for.
For readers who enjoy The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas, Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy, Eloise and the Grump Next Door by Emma St. Clair and Jenny Proctor, and It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Put your phone on Do Not Disturb and find the nearest beach chair, because this light and fizzy rom-com is like a mini-vacation. New college grad Kat has been shot down repeatedly while trying to land her dream job, so an opportunity to become a French family’s au pair at their place on the Riviera seems better than nothing. Dealing with a brood of rambunctious kids doesn’t seem too fun at first, but pretty soon, the small coastal town (and the local food and wine) reveals its charms. We loved how author Maia Correll makes the inevitable love triangle with a pair of local hunks just as important as the other events of Kat’s summer, like her developing bond with her new bestie, Emi, and the discovery of a struggling local business that needs her help. This fun little diversion could skate by on its picturesque Gallic charm, but just like its heroine, Dare to Au Pair has engaging hidden depths.
