Can a French kiss persuade an uptight Englishman to leave his city behind and start a new life in rural France?

Clean-cut London businessman Dale Calverley doesn’t do relationships.

Rugged French handyman Valentin Aubrey doesn’t do city men.

When Dale hires Valentin to help him fix up his inherited farmhouse estate in rural France and sell to the highest bidder, sparks fly.

Complete opposites, can they really expect their insta-lust to last beyond the storm that forces them together?

But how can Dale walk away from a man so alluringly rogue as Valentin Aubrey?

And how can Valentin expect a man so money-orientated to throw away his career and stay in the wilderness with him?

French Kiss (Flying into Love, Book 1) is a contemporary, opposites attract, age-gap, forced proximity MM romance featuring an uptight English businessman with a preference for nameless hookups and a rugged half-French handyman with a checkered past.

Night and day

Story: From the very first pages of the book I was really intrigued how the author would bring the MCs together when they could not have been more polar opposites if they tried! Yet, it worked! It worked and felt like the most natural thing in the world.
I loved the premise of the story and the original location a lot! CF White's writing style has very unique qualities that always enable me to fully picture the scenes. The words never fail to resonate with me and my imagination in the best of ways, this book fully included. A great read and I cannot wait for more in this series!
Narration: Piers Ryman is one of my favorite narrators. Splendid job!

Love and Lust in the beautiful French countryside.

This book was an unexpected delight. Excellent narration and characters. Well worth the credit. Look forward to other books in this series.

Loved this so much!

Piers Ryman does it again! He made CF White’s words come alive for me and turned a story I loved when I first read it with my eyes, into something I loved even more. I loved hearing him speak French. ❤

Both Dale and Valentin have things in their past that have shaped who they are now. Valentin did a lot of different things to survive after being orphaned and he never wants to go back to that life. Dale grew up without feeling any love from his father, especially after his mother died. He was betrayed by a boyfriend many years ago and these two things caused him to stay in the closet and never allow himself to form a lasting intimate relationship with anyone.

Dale and Valentin couldn’t be more different from each other. Valentin loves the simple things and living off the land suits him. Dale is a city boy through and through. As Dale spend time with Valentin, he beings to see the allure of living simply and their attraction to each other won’t be denied.

I loved how wonderfully complex this story was while at the same time being very simple: two men with vastly different life styles forging a bond that will eventually bring them both happiness. I knew it wouldn’t be all hearts and flowers for Dale and Valentin – CF White does like to put her characters through hard things – but in the end what they suffer through is always worth it and makes their HEA that much sweeter.

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Favorite trope 👍

An opposites attract story about a city guy and country recluse forced to be together and rehash/rediscover the tangled feelings to the deceased father.

Love the Story

I loved this story and adding the narration made it even better. I can't wait for book 2

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
