Set in the descriptively gorgeous French Rivera, it sounded an idyllic story. Alix on a temporary cooking assignment for a family over Christmas is a bit lonely having handed over her son to her ex husband for a skiing holiday. Her parents are visiting her sister and she is alone for the holidays. This assignment seems ideal. But on arrival she finds that she is not really busy and has quite a bit of free time on her hands.
There are complicated relationships at play here. First a bit of tension between her employer Luc and herself, then there is Caroline who sees herself as Luc’s girlfriend and is quite proprietary,there is tge very loud and demanding Susan who is Luc’s mother, his daughter Emma and a few domestics adding to the mixed menagerie over a family holiday period. Lots of stories at play, all interesting and a romance that ends in a happily ever after.
A nice light hearted, happy read.

Santa Monica, Goa and definitely keep out! Bit decrepit but really beautiful buildings from the time the Portuguese were in Goa.
