No home. No job. No boyfriend.
When Lia loses her job straight after a break-up, she escapes to the Molins’ family-run boulangerie in Toulouse – the place she was last happy, far away from her cheating ex.
Sworn off men, she isn’t prepared for the spark she feels for charming cheesemaker Jean-Luc, nor for things heating up at the family’s country home in Gascony when handsome, self-assured vineyard-owner Théo asks her out.
Torn between the two and her connections to the Molins family, Lia has some tough decisions to make.
Lia loves being back in France with the people she cares about, helping in the boulangerie. On discovering it is under threat of closure, she is devastated and resolves to do everything in her power to help it stay open.
Will she succeed? And will she be able to choose between the two handsome Frenchmen and live her happily ever after?
For fans of Gillian Harvey, Rebecca Raisin, Jo Thomas and Veronica Henry.

🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖My Review🥖🥖🥖🥖🥖
This is my second book by Susan Buchanan. When I saw the cover of The Boulangerie on the Corner, I knew I had to read it! It just made me feel so light, and that’s before I started reading!
This book gave me everything I needed: a beautiful setting, great characters, and a dash of romance too! Lia is a character I took to my heart immediately. She loses her job, boyfriend, and home but still turns it into something positive! Me? I would have been a wreck. Lia decides to go traveling, back to a boulangerie she used to help out in fifteen years ago. She arrives in France and is welcomed back into the family just like she is one of theirs.
Susan Buchanan creates such a strong sense of place that I could imagine it. I have never been to France, but I feel like I need to go now! I was so happy reading this that all the stuff from my world faded away, and I was by Lia’s side.
I loved that she had the pick of two men as well! Jean-Luc and Theo are the two lucky men! Lia goes on a date with both but doesn’t know which one, if any, she should choose . This was so great to read! Two men after being dumped! I was waiting with bated breath to see who, if any, would be the one.
I can see why this series is called European Escapes. I definitely escaped. Even if it was only while I read this heartwarming and uplifting story, I am looking forward to where Susan takes us next time!
