A Season of Surprises at the Villa des Violettes by Patricia Sands

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fabulous book. The sights, sounds, and even smells jump off the page into your heart. The descriptions of the Carnival and the mimosa flowers is outstanding. One can believe they are in France as they take this journey with the characters. The side stories are wonderful and engrossing. There is mystery and romance. This is a wonderful escape from a rainy Ohio.

The First Noel at the Villa des Violettes

The First Noël at the Villa des Violettes by Patricia Sands

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow! Patricia Sands has developed her characters, Kat, Phillipe, and Simone to the next level. They are delightful and so alive. This is not just a Christmas novella. It has a fantastic plot filled with intrigue, romance, well-developed, friendships, kindness and a general good read. Even the pups are enjoyable. The setting is described to the point that the reader feels like they are travelling in France in reality. When shopping in the markets, one can feel the excitement and hear the noise. I suggest that everyone read this and become a die-hard fan of Ms. Sands.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book is amazing. It is delightful, funny, heartwarming, and the plot is unusual. Where does this author get her imagination? It is unlike any other. There is a mysterious end to the novel that I have never seen in all my years of reading. Everyone should read. It is Woman's fiction at it's best.

Drawing Lessons by Patricia Sands

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my first book that I have read of Patricia Sands, although I connect with her through her newsletter and Facebook page. I needed tissues to get through the story. It isn't in the least bit depressing, but sad in parts and very hopeful in others. One can travel the area of France that the book is set in through the main character. You can smell the flowers and the food in reality, I swear. The descriptions are enlightening. The characters are real. The book is '"magnifique'" or would that be "tres magnifique"? One can't put it down. You will enjoy this novel.
