review 1: Samantha Verant met an attractive Frenchman in Paris when she was very young and on holiday with her friend. They enjoyed a wild and memorable night, but Sam thought that it was better to try to forgot the 'holiday romance, even though Jean-Luc wrote her seven incredibly moving letters.Several years later, Sam is in a bit of a mess. She can't solve her marriage problems; she's in debt; her beloved dog is ill; and she has to go and live with her parents. When she works as a dog-walker, the local women are incredibly snobbish, calling her only 'the dog-walker!' Thoughts of Jean-Luc return to her, and she begins to wonder what has happened to him. She comes up with the idea of finding him in an unusual way, and it works!Luckily, she does find Jean-Luc, but can they find ... moretrue happiness after so long? What about their cultural differences? Where will they live if they become a couple? I just loved this well-written and magical fairy-tale like romance, and I am sure that I would really like this couple if I met them! Highly-recommended!
review 2: *I received a copy of this book from netgalley.com in exchange for an honest reviewWe are introduced to Sam in this memoir, a women who was in the middle of an unsuccessful marriage and her life was a bit of a wreck. She was unemployed and generally unhappy. One of her friends tries to cheer her up with the idea to start a blog about love letters where the bench mark would be the ones written to her 20 years ago. When she and her bestfriend visited Paris, she fell for a man over there. Well more accurately he fell in love with her and she was still unsure. After she left Paris he wrote her seven very romantic letters that she still has to this day. Through re reading these letters she finds the want to reconnect with Jean Luc.She is able to find him online and they start writing emails, these emails turn into phone calls and eventually visits. Through her communication with Jean Luc she is able to gain the confidence to ask for a divorce so she can try and have a more happy life. She then travels to france for a couple of weeks to meet him in person. Their old love sparks.This is really a truly amazing story. This book is a memoir but is so romantic that you think it should be fiction. It is an amazing recollection, Samantha does a great job describing in detail the events that took place. Being able to hear her thoughts and doubts really makes this the book it is. Anyone with a romantic soul will take a hold of this book and devour it. There is also an amazing support that surrounds her from her friends and family. They all want the best for her and welcome Jean-Luc with wide arms.Another I want to quickly point out is the humor, Jean-Luc speaks french (but is fluent in English) and Samantha speaks english (but is not so fluent in French). There are alot of funny exchanges when Samantha messes up her french and I thought even this little aspect that she recalled gave a nice break from the romantic side of the book.Overall this really is a lovely book and incredible storyI give it 4/5 less
