Candy Hearts Romance!

Je t'aime by Ursula Whistler

Looking for inspiration, designer Genevieve Hoffman agrees to an apartment swap and heads to the south of France. But when the apartment owner's brother returns from deployment, she finds herself  with a man who inspires fantasies rather than fashion.

Etienne Gagnon barely made it out of Syria alive during his last special forces assignment. All he wants is a little R&R in the apartment he shares with his sister. But the woman making breakfast in his kitchen isn't his sister. He might not understand a word coming out of her mouth but he has no problem reading body language and likes what she's saying just fine.

This book took me far away from the cold, snowy weather in upstate New York to the sunny warmth of the south of France, Provence. Ms. Whistler's lovely descriptions of this beautiful setting are just the thing.

As my daughter is a fabric designer I loved the heroine's career as well her choice to gain inspiration from France. All of that rang true to me. Etienne is a very yummy hero!
