I just loved this book! I’m definitely going to have to pick up the others in the series.

I started the book halfway through my honeymoon while staying at a bed and breakfast in Avignon, France. I finished it just a few days later in the Charles de Gaulle airport while waiting for my plane back to the States. I had hoped to release it in France, but I couldn’t find an Internet terminal in the airport.
