Staff Reviews
A Perfect Vintage is a fun and super dramatic romp across the French countryside. I loved that the protagonist of this story, Lea, is a thirty-something, childfree woman with strong opinions and a quick wit. She and her best friend/cousin have a relationship that will be instantly recognizable to anyone with close female friendships, and their banter is top notch. The reverse age-gap romance is spicy, but not so dramatic that it’ll make readers uncomfortable. I do like the older woman/younger man dynamic purely because it flips an existing trope on its head. Watching a person with an anxious/avoidant personality fight their way through life coming unwound is also delicious, if a bit anxiety inducing itself, purely because it’s close to home. If you love Talia Hibbert or Emily Henry, you’ll love Chelsea Fagan, who also has an awesome Youtube channel!

Description
Lea Mortimer has everything under control. As a highly sought-after consultant specializing in transforming dilapidated French country estates into boutique hotels, she relishes her freedom as a single, childfree woman. And her life is full, occupied as much by her impeccable historic renovations as by the aristocratic -- and often exhausting -- French families she works for.
But after the heated divorce of her closest friend and cousin Stephanie Bryce, Lea finds herself taking Stephanie and her college-aged daughter to the Loire Valley in France for the summer. As they tag along for Lea's latest work assignment, despite their best intentions, they threaten to complicate the tightrope act of launching the hotel on time. And when Lea unexpectedly falls for the much-younger son of her boss, she quickly learns the beauty and danger of losing control.
As affairs bloom in the idyllic chateau, wars of inheritance play out between the family, and betrayals threaten even the most solid relationships. Lea realizes that it's not just a broken heart she's risking, but her entire, meticulously-constructed life blowing up in her face.
