The Riviera House Swap by Gillian Harvey

Would you swap houses with a stranger?

My Review:

Her fortieth birthday brings expected news
But will it be enough to change her views?
Avoiding risks has worked so far but still
She's missed out and has dreams to fulfill.

Security is great, but sometimes you need to take a chance
Who knows, maybe that way will lead to true romance?
Memories of her first love inspire her now
She'll go off to France to find him somehow.

A house swap, a journey, a search inspired by the past
Will her old romance prove to be one that will last?
New friendships, adventures and being brave, too,
Nina wonders what next she should do!

A story where regrets of things not followed through
Inspire a journey and trying things that are new.
With new friends and support, and so much more 
Returning to visit the past gives lots now to explore.

A heartwarming read told in the past and now
Will they be reconnected? If so, just how?
Will first love grow or will there be something new?
Will Nina be braver and see things through?

For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

Synopsis:

Nina has always played it safe. But when her divorce papers come through on her fortieth birthday she decides enough is enough.

She’s always chosen the sensible route, staying in her stable job and marrying her rather boring ex. In fact – she realises – she’s chosen security over excitement for years. Ever since she refused to elope with her first love: beautiful, poetic, thoughtful Pierre, the man she met aged 17, on her French exchange. The only man who ever made her heart race.

Maybe it’s time to take a few risks?

Impulsively she goes online and finds another kind of French exchange… a house-swap. She can’t imagine what French businessman Jean-Luc wants with her terraced home in rural England, but she can’t wait to stay in his beautiful, spacious, bougainvillea-strewn villa on the French riviera.

She’s not just there for the house though. She’s decided to find the love she missed all those years ago. But will Pierre still be the man of her dreams after all this time?

As two lives collide, will love bloom on the French riviera?
