Wealthy French aristocrats don’t date single moms… do they?

Is there such a thing as Prince Charming? Chastity didn't take a teaching job in France to find hers, but a woman can dream, n'est-ce pas? If the widowed father of one of her students—the Viscount Charles Jean Anne Monorie de Brase—is the best local example of princes, Charming or Otherwise, Chastity is ready to put aside any thought of falling in love again.

She's had enough of his arrogance and would prefer him to keep his distance, yet it seems there is no avoiding each other. With the ongoing pressure of a repentant ex-boyfriend, a nefarious drug dealer, and an art heist that spans the decades, Chastity and the viscount are thrown together by circumstances she would soon rather forget.

As the bond between Charles and Chastity grows, they must decide if their love is enough to bridge the gap between their disparate worlds, and if happily ever after can exist outside of fairy tales.

Good Holiday Read

My first ebook a lovely, relaxing book to read by the poolside or on a wet holiday in Paris like me!

Great romance with a modern edge

A great romance thar is original with a modern edge. I really enjoyed it. Perfect to curl up with for a cosy afternoon.

An entertaining read

Suspense and romance in a well-told story.

Dramatic and syspenseful

In this suspenseful drama, Chastity has her hands full coping with a recalcitrant student and an even more difficult parent, one that has had his way for far too long. On the other hand, Viscount Charles de Brase is having a hard time keeping his juggling act going between his profession, the management of his estate, his difficult mother, non-responsive son and a demanding girlfriend. It's no wonder that when Chastity challenges Charles, he reacts as he does. However, when Chastity's son needs the best doctor available, Charles gives his unstinting commitment, thereby winning her heart. The brewing attraction between the hero and heroine is fraught with difficulties as they are caught in a web of deceit and manipulation, almost ruining any chance of a future between them. The suspenseful side of the drama builds up slowly in the background, until everything culminates on one fateful evening when identities are revealed and Chastity's hopes are dashed. The story is well-written and kept my interest throughout. However, I would have enjoyed this book more if there had been an epilogue, as it came to an abrupt, albeit successful, ending.

GREAT read. Loved it.

What a great read! I found the characters so well drawn and the plot held some great surprises and twists that ended up exactly where we'd hoped to go, two total opposites drawn together and living happily ever after. I loved the French detail and atmosphere, the setting was modern yet held all of that French charm that anything set in France merits! This is a heart-warming wonderful read by a talented author. I hope that Ms. Goutet keeps going with more contemporary clean romance plus her Regency projects!!! Did I mention too many times that it's a great read???
