Love in a Warm Climate: A Novel About the French Art of Love Paperback – 28 April 2011

This is the first book I have read by Helena Frith Powell and I will be reading more by her. I down loaded this book on my kindle when it was 99p and saved it for my holiday and I'm glad I did.The story is set in France. It follows Sophie who when unpacking her husbands bag finds another womens bra in their and he tells her he has been having an affair.Sophie is then left with their three children and their business they are trying to set up. Her friends from England come over and help her along with new friends she makes in France. She also has three potential love-lifes and she has to pick which one and if she really wants another relationship.

I have read two of Helena Frith-Powell's books and really enjoyed them. Two lipsticks and a Lover and Ciao Bella, I like her unstuffy way of writing. This book was the first novel of hers that I have read but of course her writing style is the same and I really enjoyed it, so much so that I might even write to her personally via her publisher!It is an excellent story of love and affairs and passions and just struck a chord with me. Very enjoyable.

Reading at the moment,have read some of the authors books before.Ideal holiday read.

Have just finished this book and found it to funnyand a story that kept me very interested, great charactersand descriptions of France.

I liked the first part of the book but it was getting progressively less and less "unrealistic" and contrived. However - it is worth reading - I felt like starting yoga and going to Languedoc - which is a lot to say - not every book inspires you to do something.It is a chick lit - but all in all well written one. Good holiday read !

I am nearly finished the book, but normally once I'm done, I forget to write a review as I search for a new book!It's a really upbeat, heart warming story, and even though she's going through some turmoil, it's not depressing. It's almost like the girls version of 'A Year in the Merde'.Brilliant book, I am a huge fan now!

I loved this book. It is very well written, and also, easy to read. It kept me interested from start to finish, and made me want to move to France! It is set on a vineyard, and very stereotypically French!

I really enjoyed this story, not too slushy, very readable and entertaining with a nice twist to the plot, even though girl gets boy, not sure until the end which one it was to be!
