Praise for Annabel French:

‘A Provencal sun-drenched read that conjures up the scent of summer in France. I completely fell in love with Luc and Lizzie as they brought sunshine and love back to the dilapidated chateau. And who doesn’t love a goat – Gary Baarlow was inspired.’ Julie Caplin

‘Beautifully written – a real gem of a read! Inheriting a chateau sounds like a dream for broken-hearted Lizzie but it turns out to be the start of an amazing and unexpected journey. Take a break and immerse yourself in French village life and soak up the ambience.’ Lucy Coleman

‘Have some crisp French wine and a wedge of creamy camembert on hand when you read Summer at the Chateau! A charming and evocative read that will have you dreaming in French and wishing you were there. I will never look at a goat the same after reading this – Gary sure did steal my heart!’ Rebecca Raisin

‘The kind of romance that ticks all my boxes. Lizzie is a relatable and appealing heroine and grumpy, sexy Luc is the neighbour we all dream of! Summer at the Chateau is the perfect, escapist holiday read.’ Sarah Bennett

‘Oh la la! This is the perfect French escape.’ Bella Osborne

‘Swoony and romantic, I swear I could smell the lavender fields.’ Leonie Mack
