MY REVIEW:

Rating: 5/5 ⭐
Spice Level: 4/5 🌶️
The French Kisses series continues on with book 3! Chloe, who we met in the first book is now arriving at her new gig, being a summer nanny for a single dad who also just happens to be the handsome man that catches her in his net on her first day. Not the greatest first impression!
But Vicki excels in her books by using the utmost humor and awkwardness to bring people out of their shells and develop into the diamonds they’re meant to be. Chloe is a free-spirited personality who kind of flits between jobs and travels the world. Maxime, her new boss, comes from a difficult childhood where he lifted himself up and is trying to run a business, but his twelve-year-old daughter is also staying with him for the summer.
This is where Chloe’s job comes in. Maxime’s daughter is only allowed to stay with him for so long because the ex wants her to continue her school work and Chloe is hired to help her. But Chloe didn’t realize she was going to have to help her write a paper, and Chloe is desperately hiding a very big secret.
Maxime and Chloe have a very slow burn in the first half of this book where they keep finding themselves in increasing tensions until finally the walls break down. Both of them are hesitant to let the other fully into their life because neither of them feel quite ready for any serious commitment, but they also can’t ignore the attraction.
A full blown beach adventure filled with the love of family, found and otherwise, with two very tender hearted individuals who fear rejection more than anything. But love always wins and I enjoyed this one immensely!
French Kisses Series
GET IT HERE:
One splash, one fishing net, and one grumpy single dad later…
Chloe Hargreaves is officially at a crossroads. After two years of travelling, she’s out of money, out of plans, and feeling the pressure to join the rat race. With dyslexia, though, office life feels impossible, and she’s not sure where she fits. So, when a summer job as a nanny on the Mediterranean coast comes up, she grabs it. Sun, sea, sand… how hard can it be?
Maxime Moreau is a grumpy, gorgeous single dad with sea-salt hair, tattoos and an intensity to rival Poseidon. He also has a beach club to save and is desperate to reconnect with the daughter he barely knows. When his ex demands he hire an English-speaking nanny in return for summer custody, he reluctantly agrees.
What he doesn’t expect? To haul his new nanny out of the sea… in his net.
Between clumsy boat trips, glittery face masks, a stray kitten, and knot-tying lessons that get far too personal, will Chloe and Maxime’s growing attraction crash on the rocks? Or will their summer lead to something that looks a lot like love?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Vicki Hilton
Writing about love, passion and all things tingly has always been a dream for me.
Originally from rural England, I now live in Sydney’s glorious Northern Beaches, where I’m steadily gathering freckles and dipping my toes into the ocean for inspiration.
With a focus on smart, quirky heroines and sensitive, sexy heroes, I create steamy, slow burn, contemporary romance. Always on the funny side, with a nice touch of spice.
I’m a devoted wife, mother of one beautiful daughter, a wrangler of assorted animals, and a lover of Skittles.
It’s a mix made in heaven.
