This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you too Bookouture for my copy of this book and for letting me take part in this tour. I loved the first book in this series so I was excited to return to Chamillon and the Cafe Belle Vie. If you haven't read the first book then you could still read this as a stand alone as the main character from the first book isn't in this book. Though she is mentioned.

I was disappointed that Natalie wasn't in this book. I was looking forward to catching up with her. It was really nice to see Charlie and Dolly again.

The main character in this book is Elle. Elle is looking for her birth mum but has very little information to go on. There were a few times where Elle irritated me a little but overall I did like her. She is a sweet girl who is feeling a little lost.

Elle's friend Toni was the best Ioved her. She is egging Elle on the whole time and I think she helps to loosen Elle up and make her take more risks. Elle's sister Jess was also a good character even if we only saw a little of her.

This story did have some romantic elements which I enjoyed but the main focus of the story was Elle meeting potentials for her birth mum. She also developed a lot of friendships with the locals which was really lovely to read.

This book was a great escape and I hope we return to the Cafe again soon....maybe later this year (hint, hint lol)
