All the French Men: a grumpy sunshine sweet romance

Laura Chapman

romantic comedy(14)

A bubbly American in France plays dating Bingo — while her secret watchdog tries not to fall for her.

Description

She's an American in France searching for adventure and love. He's an ex-pat business man trying to keep her out of trouble. Can this grumpy sunshine pair go from friends to so much more? Moving to France for a summer is going to be the adventure of a lifetime for Logan Perry. She'll eat croissants and crepes. She'll finally master the art of wearing a beret. Most importantly, she'll prove to her overly protective family that her impulsive ways aren't reckless. So what if her French language skills are basic at best? C'est la vie! Rhys Carlson has better things to do than babysit a friend's little sister. But he agrees to do it all the same, along with the promise that he won't reveal the connection. That pledge quickly turns into a full-time job, especially when Logan impulsively decides to play dating Bingo with every Frenchman she meets. He's only concerned because she's his friend's sister. It has nothing to do with her bubbly personality or the way she gets him to live a little. Then again, she has a certain je ne sais quoi that makes her hard to resist . . . Can Rhys shake off his grumpiness and bask in the sunshine that is Logan? And will they even stand a chance when she learns the truth behind how they came to be friends? From award-winning author Laura Chapman, ALL THE FRENCH MEN is a sweet grumpy sunshine, friends to lovers romantic comedy about creating your own happily ever after and finding true love with the person who brings out the best in you.
