Nathalie isn’t looking for a new love, especially not in the form of a woman, and Lena has no desire to get her heart crushed again. Is it possible to find home in a place you’ve never been?

Great Listen

This was a very sweet story. Loved the way Lise Gold brought hear characters together and didn’t make it easy on them. The narration was good but the accents were inconsistent I think but didn’t take away from the telling of the story.

Highly recommend

Narrator took some getting used to but I ended up loving it! Keep listening if you’re in doubt!

French Summer

A recent divorcee rents a home in France for the summer and falls for the caretaker. That description alone was enough to draw me into this romance. A bit of a slow burn while the two ladies get to know each other, but it was a cute development. This was a very nice summer read.

Lisa Gold is Gold

I’ve only recently discovered Lise Gold, and I love her ability to developer a character and tell a story. Fantastic work once again. It wasn’t my favorite narrator but still good over all.

Marvelous Romance set in France!

Lena is one of those women lesbians who love women. She flirts with all women regardless if they’re straight or gay. And women love Lena. Natalie fresh from a divorce is taking a summer vacation at a bed-and-breakfast run by Lena. When they meet Lena thinks that Natalie is straight but you know what they say you’re only straight until you meet the right woman. That’s begins the relationship of Lena and Natalie. Will it work? Will Natalie move to France? Lena move back to America? Oh in there’s a cute little dog named gumbo.

Overall great book!

I enjoyed watching the characters finf each other. There were some truly hilarious moments, like why would you ever think to do such things, but they got thru them all with some grace. Good job to the author there. I had mixed feelings on the narrator tho. Her tone and pitch for one of the characters was too young, which detracted from the character. But overall, good book!

enjoyed

The story sucks you in as you are able to visualize the location and watch the story come to life.

good

good story, well written, great characters. excellent narration. nine ten eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen fifteen

overall it was good

I enjoy this author. the stories I've listened to have been fun and romantic. I can only guess that my blasé response to this one had more to do with the narrator. it wasn't the worst I've heard but it definitely detracted from the "feels" of the story.

Summer Loving

Really enjoyed the flow of this story. Huge fan is Lise Gold and her Queer Romance novels. I like the connection the two main characters have right off the bat without rushing the whole storyline and plot. Fun quick read or listen and I’d give this story 🌶️🌶️🌶️ for the spice factor hehe.
