Daisy James – Freya’s French Farmhouse @rararesources @daisyjamesbooks #FreyasFrenchFarmhouse #SharonBTB

Welcome back to the blog! I’m on the tour for Freya’s French Farmhouse by Daisy James. With thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Daisy James for the gifted ebook to write an honest and unbiased review.

Welcome to Freya’s French Farmhouse, the second book in a brand new series from the author of the Hummingbird Hotel series and the Cornish Confetti Agency series.

Escape to the French Riviera!

After losing her aromatherapy studio in the Blossomwood Bay fire, Freya Farnham finds herself at a loose end, especially when her trusty Renault decides that it’s time to head to the scrapyard in the sky. Now she has no excuse not to agree to her parents’ request to head to the pretty village of Saint-Julien to find out why her late Uncle Toby’s gorgeous French farmhouse isn’t selling, even when the real estate agent, Xavier Deschamps, advertises himself as “the best in the whole of Provence”.

As soon as she arrives, Freya realises what the problem is, and so, with the help of handsome local car mechanic Jacques Jordan, she invests her last euro in a kaleidoscope of cleaning products and sets about transforming the drab and dusty dwelling into a chic and shiny château. Little did she know that in the process she would discover more about her family’s history than she bargained for.

Can she come to terms with her past? Or will the demons that have been snapping at her heels since childhood prevent her from seizing the chance to achieve a much-longed-for sense of belonging in the friendly community where she’s treated as one of their own?

Why not join Freya as she explores the lavender-infused Provençal countryside, and enjoy a trip filled with fun, fragrance, and delicious foodie treats with a dash of heart-warming romance thrown in for good measure!

The first thing I have to say is, isn’t this cover gorgeous? I felt like I could have walked into that picture and stayed! I haven’t read the first book in The Blossomwood Bay series. I wish I had, but this book is a standalone. I didn’t have a problem reading it and keeping up.

Freya’s French Farmhouse whisked me away to Provence so easily. Daisy James describes the settings so vividly that I felt like I was there! It was an improvement on Oldham! Even if it was virtual.

Freya goes to Provence to oversee the sale of her late Uncle Toby’s farmhouse, which has been left to her parents. Freya wonders why it hasn’t sold yet and decides to fix and clean it up, then sort out the sale personally. As she gets to know the town and the residents in it. She falls in love with more than the town itself.

This was a romantic comedy that I didn’t know I needed until I read it. Such a lovely, uplifting, and heartwarming book. It was like a hug. The warmth and charm of the story wrapped itself around me as I read.

It had everything to keep me turning the pages. The character growth of Freya was so apparent, too, as the story unfolded. It felt like much more than a rom com at certain points. This is a series I will be reading, then I will hunt out Daisy James books so I can read them too in time.

Author Bio

Daisy James loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plotlines. She especially likes to create sunshine-filled settings in exotic locations – the Caribbean, Tuscany, Cornwall, Provence – so she can spend her time envisioning her characters enjoying the fabulous scenery and sampling the local food and drink.
When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of something fizzy or indulging in a spot of afternoon tea – china plates and teacups are a must.
