Title: Villa of Second ChancesAuthor: Jennifer BohnetFormat reviewed: EbookSource: NetgalleyPublisher: Boldwood BooksPublication Date: 1st March 2022Rating: 5 Stars
Everyone deserves a second chance…right?
Escape to the Villa in the South of France with Top 10 international bestseller Jennifer Bohnet, for an uplifting story of family, love and second chances.
Run by sisters Rebecca and Delphine, Villa Sesame is a popular venue for small intimate weddings on the sparkling French Riviera. Beautiful terraces and a horizon pool overlook the Mediterranean, a setting where dreams come true.
When recently widowed Delphine unexpectedly announces her desire to retire and live a different life, Rebecca feels her own life could be slipping into free fall.
How can she possibly carry on with the business without her sister at her side?
Could this be the beginning of the end for Villa Sésame and Rebecca’s life as she knows it?
As the guests gather for the June wedding of Freya and Marcus, Freya’s two childhood friends bring their own problems to the villa and cousin Verity has her own agenda.
But it's the arrival of a certain guest who throws Rebecca’s whole world into turmoil and she finds herself asking the question, where do I go from here?
How lovely it was to be able to spend time in the South of France, on the French Riviera with this fabulous cast of characters.
And what an apt title this book has, as the Villa Sesame really did seem instrumental in giving out all manner of second chances.
There are some fun surprises to be uncovered too, as threads of the story, connect in ways you may not have initially imagined.
I loved getting to know Freya Rebecca, Clemmie, Angela and to a lesser extent Verity, as Freya and Marcus' wedding approaches.
These are all characters in the prime of their lives, perhaps a tad more mature than you would perhaps expect, and learning about their various life experiences and how they are dealing with their current situations is heartening.
This is another fabulous story from Jennifer Bohnet who always brings gorgeous scenery, a lovely glimpse into France, and characters that get under your skint to the extent you actually care what is happening to them.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
