Description

One (crumbling) French castle. Two enemies-at-first-sight. The holiday of a lifetime. Merry DeLuca has a problem—a big problem. Her sister just married her best friend and the only man she’s ever loved. Her life is rapidly spiraling down the drain and she doesn’t have an escape plan. So when Merry is offered a three-month holiday living in a romantic castle in the French countryside she leaps at the chance. Merry knows her French holiday will fix everything—there will be mouthwatering pastries, delicious (meaningless) flirtations, and languid strolls through vineyards at sunset. Her holiday will be perfect. At least, Merry believes that until she arrives and finds Noah Wright—the best man at her sister’s wedding and the worst man she’s ever known—staying in her castle. Famous travel documentarian by day and arrogant devil by night, Noah refuses to leave the castle. Which means that Merry and Noah are stuck together in France, in a crumbling castle, in a holiday where nothing goes right. Not for Merry and not for Noah. So they strike a truce—they’ll live as cohabitating friends for three-months, and then they’ll amicably part ways, never to see each other again. But the thing about friendship? Sometimes secrets are uncovered. Mysteries revealed. Hearts laid bare. And friendship can start to feel a lot like caring. A lot like love. It can even make you wish that the holiday never has to end.

Awards & Endorsements

Review
“Ready (The Fall in Love Checklist) whisks readers to the South of France for a saucy enemies-to-lovers romance... This is a winner." - Publishers Weekly starred review

"Ready has written a tale that deliciously taps into its French trappings. Merry enjoys pungent cheeses and the attentions of a handsome local art gallery owner called—but of course—Pierre. Yet this novel also includes psychological nuances that enrich what could have been simply a rather glossy and superficial story....A charming dramedy featuring a promising sleuthing duo." - Kirkus Reviews

"French Holiday was one of my favorite romances I read this year. It had me laughing, crying, and everything in between“ - Kelsey Navarro, SAG-AFTRA Narrator
