A romance that really has it all

A Wedding in Provence by Katie Fforde, Penguin Random House, $37

You can't beat a good, old-fashioned romance and this one has it all.

A chateau, a handsome French Count, three grumpy children, a formidable grandmother, and a beautiful young nanny who happens to have a substantial inheritance coming her way.

Alexandra lands a temporary nannying job, which she would much rather do than to go to finishing school.

Trouble is, she finds she likes being a nanny a bit too much. Is it the job or the handsome father?

I enjoyed getting lost in France with the possibility of a happy-ever-after ending, and characters that were warm, funny and surprising.

Put your feet up and enjoy. —
