I am delighted to once again join a Blog Tour for one of Lucy Coleman’s books, she also write under her own name of Linn B Hatton. A Spring time by Lucy Coleman was a wonderful read and I would like to thank Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for my spot on the Tour and also for arranging an e-copy of the book.

Let me show you what it is all about…

How absolutely gorgeous is this cover 😍

Let Lucy Coleman transport you to glorious, sun-drenched France, for the perfect feel-good read. Paris and the Palace of Versailles have always meant a lot to TV producer Lexie. Her grandma Viv spent a year there, but her adventures and memories were never discussed, and Lexie has long wondered why they were a family secret.

When work presents the perfect excuse to spend Springtime in Versailles, Lexie delves into Viv’s old diaries and scrapbooks, and with the help of handsome interpreter Ronan, she is soon learning more about the characters that tend to the magnificent gardens, now and in the past.

In amongst the beauty and splendour of the French countryside, a story of lost love, rivalry and tragedy unfolds. Can Lexie and Ronan right the wrongs of the past, and will France play its tricks on them both before Lexie has to go home? Will this truly be a Springtime to Remember…?

I really enjoyed A Springtime To Remember as I followed Lexi to Versailles to film a series about the gardens. She has an interest as her grandmother spent a year here before she got married and yet never mentions it. Ronan is an interpreter whose grandfather worked at Versailles and there is a history that haunts him. Was it fate that brought these two to work together or something else.

I have read a few books by this author and I always enjoy the stories she weaves. A Springtime To Remember had a slightly different feel to it as the author delved into a little of the history of the Palace of Versailles and its gardens. I enjoyed this quite a lot and it was interesting to see how the history, politics, financing and personalities had a part to play in this world famous site. While I did find it really interesting I did feel it took a little of the pacing from the story.

The author does a brilliant job of telling the tale of the two main protagonists as they meet and get to know each other. There is that magical feeling of a mutual attraction that this author writes so well. The story takes turns that delved into each of their family pasts as well as events happening in the present. There is turmoil to both parties and I thought they were good reading.

I liked the descriptions of the opulence of the palace and the gardens and they provided a wonderful backdrop to the story. Food is mentioned, well it is Paris afterall!

This is another wonderful story by this author, she takes the reader on a journey that sees family history finally seeing the light of day, personal revelations and realising what is important in life. I deal for romance fans who like a story that has a little history and an all round great read. It is heartwarming and not everything is guaranteed. I would recommend reading A Springtime To Remember.
