Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC.

After losing her child to cot death, 29 year old Ellie is still deep in grief when she learns that she and her two sisters have inherited an old stone house in Provence from an uncle they never knew, due to their alcoholic father leaving them when they were young.

Ellie and Laura travel to Provence to take a look and start selling the house as neither wants to live in it. However, something compels Ellie to stay for the summer and renovate the building for a better sale. Soon she meets her grumpy neighbour Julien and his adorable little son Theo, discovers she owns two docile donkeys and acquires a scruffy dog she calls Pascal when she nearly runs him over with her bright red retro bike.

However, she cannot afford to fall in love again as the pain of losing people would be too big so all she allows herself is a little holiday affair.

I liked the protagonists and how they slowly fall in love with each other without really wanting to. The area and the food is described wonderfully, making you want to live there too. The cover is utterly gorgeous but I was missing an epilogue as the book ends rather abruptly. 

However, it is a quick, cozy and warmhearted holiday read that will leave you wanting more.
