This the third book in the series. I listened to others on audiobook, which was helpful in hearing the french words pronounced correctly. When I read this one I could still hear the reader's voice in my head. Overall it is a lighthearted book on love and pursuing your dreams. Lexi's dilemmas are relatable. There's one guy who has shown a little interest in her who rides a motorcycle, and another one pursuing her that is less mysterious and more predictable. Then she has to decide how much of France she really wants in her life. I mean, most women want to settle down, but you have to calculate how much do you want to give up to get the man of your dreams? Do you have to give up anything at all? How much are you romanticizing your career path? The dilemma here is resolved without too much "resistance" American-style. The only problem I had with the book is that Lexi and Dan never have any really deep conversations. He seems like a guy who likes her a lot for her quirkiness to offset his dull corporate lawyer lifestyle. Apart from that there isn't the sense that they are soul mates. Maybe I'm expecting too much in my escapist chick-lit. On the lighter side, I did make Salad Nicoise for dinner one night. This book will make you hungry, and there are recipes to expand your culinary repetoire. After waiting 10 months for this last book in the French Twist series to be released on audio so I could once again read along as Carine Montbertrand delighted my ears with her French, I could wait no longer. I had to read this last book on my own and do my best to remember how she made every character sound. It took no time at all to remember where Lexi was in her life: just returned from France and about to open her own little "jewel" in the Delecroix bakeries in Seattle AND still caught between two potential loves, Philippe (and his daughter Celine) and all-American Dan. I can't tell you much more without fearing that I will give something away, but I will say I loved it. It was a delicious final in the trilogy.
Love, love, love this series! Have read it a couple of times, just because it makes me happy!
