Wealthy French entrepreneur (winemaker, popular blogger, nightclub owner) Amersen Beaudin (who is 25) comes to Austin, Texas, from France to meet Kate Fortune (rich family matriarch and powerhouse behind Fortune Cosmetics) to discuss a deal with her. He is also one of the illegitimate children of Gerald Robinson/Jerome Fortune (computer giant). He hasn’t met any of his family (or Gerald) yet who live in Texas while he is there, and he doesn’t plan to. He just wants to talk to Kate and get back to France. But when he meets lovely Robin Harbin (24), Kate’s gardener, he suddenly has a hard time wanting to leave…

This was an average read. I liked the heroine Robin, she was nice and sweet. She just broke up with her boyfriend because he was two-timing her so she wasn’t really interested in having a relationship. But she eventually changed her mind after meeting Amersen. I didn’t care much for the hero, Amersen. He came across as conceited at times, and I got tired of hearing about how many women he slept with in the past. I did think the part was cute, though, when Amersen gave Robin a pumpkin and a pair of glass slippers. I liked how Robin and Amersen enjoyed old movies and I liked when Robin took Amersen to the movie theater to see “It’s A Wonderful Life”. This book took place around Christmastime in Austin, Texas.

An okay read. ( )
