JoJo's French Escape by Lorraine Wilson


Today I am pleased to share with you my review of this heartwarming and romantic new release from Lorraine Wilson. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to take part in this Publication day push and for my copy of the ebook n exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 



Book Description
Trapped in paradise…
For twelve months JoJo Grant has been hiding from a secret too shameful to share.  And whilst her sanctuary might be the beautiful French countryside, JoJo has a horrible feeling that her peace is about to be shattered…because bursting into her life is the hottest celebrity chef around – Callum O’Connor.
Callum knows all about JoJo’s past, her time as a reality star, the scandal that has dogged her, but he isn’t sure why she’s still hiding?  After spending time with Jojo, it’s obvious to him that she has nothing to be ashamed of – she just needs to be a little braver…

But as much as JoJo likes Callum, he thrives on the glare of the outside world.  Can JoJo let go of her past…with Callum by her side?




My Review
This is such a lovely read that I loved from beginning to end. 
JoJo has Grant has spent the last year in the French countryside. She has run away from her life in England after a secret was revealed, that humiliated her and she just needed to get away from everything that was going on. 
JoJo made good friends with Poppy, who is opening a guest home in the beautiful and tranquil French countryside. JoJo feels safe and content in France, nobody knows her secret and she is slowly becoming herself more and more. 
That is until Poppy and her fiancĂ© Leo, employ a chef for the restaurant they are going to be opening. 
JoJo meets Calum and a spark of attraction does hit her hard, but she is determined to not fall for the handsome new addition. 
Calum knows about what happened to JoJo, and why she ran away. He does not understand why she is still hiding especially when he thinks she has nothing to be ashamed about. 
The more time the two of them spend together the more it becomes clear that there is spark of attraction between the pair. But will JoJo let Calum into her life of does she believe they are just too different, especially with Calum building a career in the spotlight, could Calum just be a holiday romance or is JoJo ready to let him into her life and finally put her past behind her.  
It is going to be a summer in France neither of them will forget. 
The writing style of this book is just brilliant with the perfect mix of fun and romance with some adorable rescue dogs too. 
I really enjoyed getting to know JoJo. She is a brilliant character to read as you watch her blossom and start to enjoy life again too. You do learn more abut the reason she ran away, this gives you a good understanding as to why she is so reluctant to let people into her life. 
The character of Poppy is fun to read. she is a wonderful artist. Having just got engaged to Leo, and trying to set up her new business Poppy, is becoming increasingly busy and is so pleased that JoJo is there to help her. 
Th setting of this book sounds beautiful and the perfect place for JoJo to escape to. 
I loved all of the rescue dogs that feature in the book that Poppy just cannot leave at the animal sanctuary, she even persuades JoJo to get one too.
This book is the perfect holiday read.
