Serena Woods has the perfect life - a fabulous career
working
for Vogue in San Francisco, amazing parents, and a
successful
boyfriend who adores her. And things just seem to be
getting
even better.
Chase, who is on the political fast track,
proposes, and she gets a huge opportunity at work - the
chance
to help Yvette Renault, the woman in charge of French
Vogue,
write her memoirs in the South of France. Although Serena
is a
little sceptical of the timing of Chases proposal, she is
happy to be swept along with the engagement plans, and
heads
off on her new assignment. But Serena will soon discover
that
things are not always as they seem.
Arriving in Cannes, things quickly unravel for Serena.
Forced
to share a suite with an unusual girl, Zoe, due to a mix
up,
it soon becomes clear that Zoe is hiding something. A
scandal
from the past is about to hit the headlines, and it
centres on
her parents. Her amazing Fiance does not love her as
deeply as
she believed, and the only shining light is her work.
Yvette's
memoirs are interesting, emotional and jump off the page,
but
has Yvette got an ulterior motive for her actions. Throw
in a
handsome sailor and his family, and Serena's life is
turned
upside down. Will she ever be able to make sense of all
that
has occurred and fight for what she wants? Or will taking
a
chance and learning to trust again, be too difficult for
Serena?
FRENCH COAST by Anita Hughes is an entertaining
contemporary
romance, set against the beautiful backdrop of the South
of
France. Serena is a likeable character who handles herself
admirably as each part of her life slowly disintegrates
around
her. With new friendships, old mysteries, secret affairs,
and
Yvette's tales from her past, this novel flows
effortlessly
from beginning to end. Completely drawn in by the plot, I
finished FRENCH COAST by Anita Hughes in one sitting. If
you
like interesting characters, stunning scenery, and love in
all
of its many guises, then FRENCH COAST by Anita Hughes is
for
you.

roommate's generosity, but it seems that there's more to her
story than meets the eye. To make matters worse, soon after
arriving in Cannes, Serena learns a shocking secret about

little luck to get her life and love back on track. Fast
paced and impeccably written,
French Coast will draw readers in to the intoxicating world
of the Cote D'Azur. Hughes' beautiful prose and sense
imagery bring the food, fashion, and feel of the ocean to
