Spotlight – Cocktails at Le Carmen by Isabelle Andover
It has often been the case that sometimes….just sometimes I am partial to one or two cocktails….especially at #DrinkYAMidlands!
*presents embarrassing evidence*
(Lisa @City_Of_YA and me )
So when lovely author Cindy Arora and fab publishers Simon & Fig contacted me about sending me a review copy of a book by debut author Isabelle Andover called Cocktails at Le Carmen…….. I simply could not resist!
I am lucky enough to be part of the blog tour for this book so my review will follow very shortly.
Today marks the release day of Cocktails at Le Carmen! Happy Book Birthday Isabelle!
Cindy and Simon & Fig asked me if I would share some cocktail related things to celebrate publication day so I thought why not share some cocktail related pictures from a recent #DrinkYAMidlands meet up!
For those you not aware #DrinkYAMidlands is run by myself and a branch off the fab #DrinkYA that is run by the wonderful Jim @YAYeahYeah but based in the Midlands / Warwickshire in the UK where everyone is welcome to meet up and have a fab chat about books….and a few cocktails too! Plenty of laughter is had by all!
There’s also picnics, bowling, coffee shop meet ups….come join us sometime! Check out the hash tag on twitter 🙂
So before all of that a little about this wonderful book….
When job cuts at Chloe Saddler’s London communications firm result in an unexpected transfer to Paris, she finds herself leaving behind her friends, family, and boyfriend Scott to start a new life in the City of Light. Getting to grips with La Vie Parisienne and keeping a long-distance relationship afloat is not made any easier by the culture shock. Committing the odd French faux pas and inadvertently indulging in a few too many flirtations with her very sexy (and very taken) boss, Jean-Luc, is just the start of it. Factor in her bridezilla of a sister’s wedding (the hottest event of the year in the Saddler family’s social calendar), an unexpected session of hot, naked yoga, a slightly psychotic stalker, and one incredible kiss at an infamous Montmartre nightspot, and Chloe can say au revoir to her old, safe London life and bonjour to the romance, splendour, and glamour of Paris.
A delightful debut that harks back to the early days of Chick Lit when heroines were flawed, funny, and forever battling for love and happiness. With quirky characters and classic comedic charm.
Cocktails at Le Carmen is pure fun from page one.
