Description
It began with an innocent brush of fingertips. An unintentional graze of bare skin between a college graduate on holiday and a French Romeo results in a remarkable romantic adventure.
The charm of a gentle summer rain brought the chance encounter.
His vision: the Maharishi Mahesh in India. Her dream: a breathtaking romance.
The sincere young Frenchman refreshed Nora’s spirit and proved letting go of the past was the right choice. ‘La bonne chose,’ sounded so buoyant and charming in French. In the sweet dawn of love, they explored southern France together. Their camping vacation was slow, flexing between tourist locations and the unsung natural wonders of France that only a native would know.
Visiting his parents, Jean Louis became severely ill. He writhed with pain while a distressed Nora insisted on hospitalization over the objections of his parents and the village doctor. Through relentless determination, she managed hospital transport for Jean Louis. His surgical recovery tore him from her life as quickly as he had entered it.
A haunting memory of his loving nature and tender caresses filled her every thought. Driven by love, passion, and time, Nora journeyed over mountains and seas for a second chance with her beloved, though it meant scouring all the hidden corners of France.
Would Nora ever meet up with the man she knew was her one true heart’s desire? Could fortune summon a twist of fate that may allow her to find Jean Louis?
An exciting escapade based on actual events.
A Note From the Publisher
I tried my hand at creating a short video for French Kiss and uploaded it to YouTube.
Advance Praise
***** More than a journey through France
Ohh la la! French Kiss by Gloria Goldsmith is a treat for steamy romance lovers. It is clear that the author knows her audience and she certainly knows what they want. The story follows Nora, a young woman left devastated after breaking up with her partner, and her rebound relationship with Jean Louis, which turns out to be far more than a rebound as she starts to realize that her feelings for him are passionately growing. She must follow Jean Louis across France to prove her loyalty as love doesn’t come easy for poor Nora.
Goldsmith knows all the hallmarks of a romance and uses them to great effect; young lovers filled with heart and a hunger for one another, and enough trials and challenges to really test their relationship. All this combines to create two great leads. I liked both Nora and Jean Louis and thought that they were deserving of one another as they show true affection and care. And there were more than enough steamy scenes to really enhance the relationship and then the plot.
I also liked the way that this book was set in the 1970s. I think the author captured the era well. The county and its landmarks also play a huge part in this book and it is clear that France itself adds to the character, charm, and romance. I loved the inclusion of the language, the cultural background, and the way of life. It is clear to me that the author has a great understanding of the country and it translates well onto the page.
French Kiss is for romance lovers who want something a bit more. It’s fun, engaging, cultural, rich in content, and throws in a number of unexpected events (it was the 70s after all). It paints a wonderful picture of love and life in a wonderful country. ~ADG

This holiday romance quietly creeped up on me. At first " glance" I did not like our protagonist Nora. She decided to do a "sex attraction test" after being starved for months with her then boyfriend Ethan. This test led her to chance encounters with different men throughout Europe.
That was until she came upon the gorgeous Jean-Louis. I truly adored him, he was the ying to her yang. I loved how attentive he was to her, not afraid to show his emotions. I was rooting for their love one hundred percent.
Obstacles like his family however, stirred so much anger in me. That was when my initial feelings toward Nora changed. She showed strength and resilience against negativity. She had a "no B.S". attitude and I just loved that.
Seriously I was like, " yeahhh Nora!! Grrl you show them!" 😁
This book had me on an emotional roller-coaster. It took me around Europe site-seeing. The descriptions were distinct, literally felt like I was on a vacation. Nora felt like, the stubborn little sister I never had.
French Kiss is a well paced, summer escape. The ending was a huge surprise, one that couldn't make me any more happier. Definitely recommend.
HAPPY READING❤
