A cabin by the beach, a place to spend the summer. Few months away from her life in New York City, Tracey had to grief the passing of her grandmother. She cared for her and looked after her as her health was wasting away. She lost a horrible battle with Alzheimer. A difficult journey to go through.The next thing she knew, her life was taking a new direction and her path crossed Jackson’s. A sweet man that lived next door. He was a talented cook. He also had a sad past of his own. Tracey’s and Jackon’s lives collided in the best way possible.Author Jude Ouvrard managed to keep me entertained and ohhhing and ahhhing. It was a delight read, short and sweet, and also, full of the things I love. A romance and kitchen talks over dinner and wine, walks and French cuisine. Jackson is very delicate and attentive by bringing her tulips which I adore. He’s about everything I love in life.Yes, I feel a very strong connection with this author, she doesn't know but many things she wrote in this book are my favorite things in my life. She managed to make me sad, make me smile, laugh and cry a little, and when her character smiled, I smiled too. When she mentioned the French Chocolate soufflé, I screamed out loud, oh my god....and that's just the beginning of what she made me experienced. Her writing style is light and easy to comprehend, her storytelling ability is superb. I loved this book, I want it to live in it, I want it to be Tracy H. I fell in love with Jackson, he's caring, thoughtful, loving and understanding. He runs, he’s active and he loves her. But most of all, OMG, he cooks....what a perfect man .... I recommend this summer read. It's a must read. A wonderful debut by author Jude Ouvrard. I wish her the best of luck in her career,and anxiously awaiting the publication of her next book Wonderland coming this September
