Have been a fan since the "I heart" series. This book does not disappoint with the trouble Jess gets herself into. A fun quick read, that you won't want to put down.
Book Jacket Summary:

A French Affair by Katie Fforde
****4 stars
Written with Fforde's style. I am a huge fan. I enjoyed this book and found myself interested in the premise of the book. When I first read it was centered around antiques, I was a bit worru=ied it would drag for me, but with Fforde's style and wonderful characters, she gave it her own flair. A must read.
Book Jacket Summary:
Gina and Sally Makepiece have inherited a stall in the French House - an antiques centre nestled in the heart of the English countryside.
Gina is determined to drag the French House and its grumpy owner into the twenty-first century. Bearing all the attributes of a modern-day Mr Rochester, Matthew Ballinger is less than happy with the whirlwind that has arrived on his doorstep.
The last thing either of them want is to fall in love.
But will a trip to France change their minds?

Karma by Carly Phillips
**** 4 stars
This is the third book in the Serendipity series. It was just as good a read as the previous two. It was a bit more complex in the issues that were dealt with and I found it a great read.
Book Jacket Summary:
Police
Officer Dare Barron has had a crush on Liza McKnight ever since he was a
teenager. But despite his lifelong attraction, the closest he's ever
come to interacting with her is watching Liza regularly bail out her
brother at the station.
Dare's dark past with Liza's brother,
Brian, has always kept him from pursuing her. But suddenly Liza finds
herself in need of protection and Dare appoints himself as the man for
the job. And while the sizzling attraction between Dare and Liza draws
them together, the past that Dare and Brian share threatens to keep the
two apart forever.

This is the first book in the Serendipity series. I love trilogies, especially when I really like the characters. This book is great and I couldn't wait to start the second in the series.

welcome her with open arms. Then she runs into her teenage crush -- the
