Review:


A spirited Welsh chef finds herself falling head over heels in love with a sexy French count in the latest sensational Modern Romance from the fabulous Christina Hollis!


Unable to continue living with her overbearing relatives in rural Wales, Gwen decided that she needed to strike out on her own. Much to her parents' worry and dismay, Gwen booked a flight to France to help her friend Carys run an exclusive upmarket restaurant. Free to create all manner of exciting dishes, Gwen thinks that she is living the dream, but when her friend leaves her in the lurch, Gwen's dream rapidly turns into a nightmare! With no money and very high standards to maintain, Gwen realizes that she is desperately in need of cash, but where is she going to find enough capital to keep her dream alive?


Count Etienne Moreau is impressed by Gwen's culinary prowess - and by her quick wit, her curves and her sexy smile. Although Etienne had vowed never to get entangled with another woman ever again, the gorgeous Frenchman vows to bed Gwen and to make her his...


A sizzling affair soon ensues between the two of them, but Etienne makes it clear from the start that theirs can only ever be a no-strings affair. But will an unexpected arrival change all that?


Christina Hollis has penned another winner with The French Aristocrat's Baby! She deftly balances humour with dramatic intensity and expertly concots an intoxicating tale of passion, intrigue, emotion and trust that will leave readers eagerly turning the pages late into the night.


A fanastic Modern Romance that delivers on all counts, The French Aristocrat's Baby is another triumph for master storyteller Christina Hollis!
