Publisher's summary
Would you have the courage to restart your life - and give love a chance - in a completely different country?
Vida Toujours has struggled all of her life, working hard for everything she's ever earned, using her all-consuming job as a Chicago doctor to numb herself against the emptiness she carries inside. Overprotective of her heart, Vida pushes people away, and despite her loneliness, she's made an art of remaining detached and disconnected. Then she receives an unexpected letter from France.
An aunt that Vida never knew she had has died, willing Vida a chateau in the French countryside. What feels like an impossible dream is now Vida's reality: She's an heiress, and the last living member of a family legacy steeped in secrets.
When Vida arrives at the chateau, there are more surprises in store for her. She could never have predicted the effect that Renee Chanson, the fiery and captivating woman she meets at the chateau, would have upon her. And she could never have imagined how the decades-old mystery of her family's past would, at last, unfold.
Can Vida learn to trust and open her stubborn heart to the possibility of a French romance? Or will she make the same mistakes her mother made and let the love of her life run away from her, leaving her to nurse a permanent broken heart?
French Lessons is a poignant, passionate novel about coming to terms with the past and learning to love; a tender romance to curl up with.

Story
What if a new woman walked into your life while you were still haunted by the woman you lost? Stunned by the accidental death of her partner, Darcy Morrow can summon little kindness for the beautiful nurse Alis Baker, the woman hired to tend her while she grieves, the woman with the too-blue eyes and a healing touch. But day by day, month by month, as the Colorado winter rages on, Alis' determined gentleness and unwavering compassion chip away at Darcy's frozen heart - even though Alis has a deep sadness of her own, one she carefully hides.

Story
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Carly Barnett, on the other hand, was a former-beauty-queen-turned-advice-columnist. Not exactly on the same level. Still, Carly was determined to prove that she was more than a pretty face. Mark wasn't sure the beautiful and spirited Carly had what it took to be a reporter, but he was sure that he wanted her. And Mark never denied himself what he wanted.

Story
When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

You might think you want to be a member - but trust me, this is one club you don't want to join. It's not a place where people go to live out their deepest, darkest sexual desires - there are no handcuffs or blindfolds. The 27 Club only admits those who die young and tragically. Having just lost my brother to the club, there is no doubt: I'm next. This is my destiny... and I was ready to yield.

Overall decent book.
The build up was painstakingly slow, I almost got frustrated, but finally it came. Interesting culmination, I'll say. The ending was predictable. The narrator's voice was pretty good, however she gave me the sense of hyperactivity, nonstop running throughout the whole book. Overall ok.

A book for the Imaginative, Romantic Soul.
For those of you that allow a novel to be a great escape and don't stop to nitpick at the probability of occurrences, then this book is for you. I enjoy books that take me away from daily stressors and this one did the trick. I found the two main characters quite captivating. secondary characters were a mystery I couldn't wait to solve.
A journey well worth taking.

A truly engaging and romantic love story.
If you could sum up French Lessons in three words, what would they be?
Engaging, bittersweet and enjoyable.
What did you like best about this story?
The writer uses tension for both the mystery and the romantic parts of this story very well.
Which scene was your favorite?
I'm not sure but it's probably any scene that had the character of Renee in it because I half fell in love with her myself while reading this story. Also I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that her physical description bears more than a passing resemblance to Alex Kingston and sounds like a beloved TV character named River Song ;)
If you could rename French Lessons, what would you call it?
There you are love! What took you so long.
Any additional comments?
One of my favorite audio books! This is beautiful love story with a strong mysterious under current. I can't wait for more of this author's work to become audio books as this is the only one out at the moment.

I'd rate this 4.5 Overall...
I've had this audiobook in my wishlist for a long time and finally got it. loved the narrator's different voices (all pleasant and the British accent was my fav). I liked the basic storyline of this book, but the mystery part seemed to drag on a bit long and slow the book down in the middle, but the ending was super sweet and made it all better :) if I could rate this a 4.5 I would.

Weird storyline but ok
Would you recommend French Lessons to your friends? Why or why not?
Depends. The story was a bit weird, and it was kind of mystery that felt like it was building up to a major twist. I was intrigued till the end but I don't know if it would hold everyone's attention.

Great, but I couldn’t lose myself
I’ve listened to a few of this author’s books, and am pleased to report that she is a lovely story teller. And here comes the compliment sandwich. The narrator has a very pleasant voice, but I do have a couple of tidbits there. Although her voice is smooth and of a pleasant tone, the cadence is a bit fast for at normal speed. However, that’s not really my reason for 4 stars. I would love to hear more of a story telling than a reading here. I found it hard to lose myself in this performance. If the narrator could just get that down she’d be absolutely wonderful in my book... ;)

This is a wonderful story and the narration is great. I loved the mystery surrounding Vida's mother and enjoyed the outcome. Highly recommend this audio book!
