Who Would Like This Book:
If you're craving a glamorous escape to the French Riviera, complete with swoony romance, mouthwatering food, and dreamy coastal towns, this is your ticket. "Broken French" blends forced proximity (hello, yacht!), brooding billionaires, lovable kids, and lots of sexual tension - not to mention a playlist to set the mood. Anyone who loves nanny-employer romances, single parent tropes, or wants to be transported to France from their armchair will lap this up. It's got all the feels, starry-eyed looks, and a heroine you can't help but root for.
Who May Not Like This Book:
If you're a stickler for realistic billionaire behavior, authentic French dialogue, or deep, complex character arcs, you might find this story falls flat. Some readers found the writing a bit clichéd or the settings overglamorized, and weren't fans of the sometimes broody (or even jerky) hero. Others felt the narrative dragged a bit - 500 pages of lusty looks and luxury yachts aren't for everyone!

From The Publisher:
Josie thought she was getting a promotion at her architectural firm, but instead her career implodes. She impulsively takes up her roommates' offer to nanny for a little girl on a mega yacht in the South of France. Even though she can't stand boats, this seems like fate giving her an opportunity to lick her wounds in a bucket list paradise while she figures out how to get her life back.
But this little girl she's arrived to look after has a daddy. A widowed, hot, billionaire of a daddy. And if there's anything that Josie needs less than having to be stuck on a yacht, no matter how luxurious, it's an inconvenient and highly-combustible attraction to her new boss. A man who, for all his wealth, is grumpy, conceited, and utterly closed off.
Xavier Pascale is on an emotional island of his own making. It's just him and his daughter and he likes it that way. He works hard, his shareholders are happy, his best friends are his body guard, and the people who work for him. What's wrong with that? But then he meets Josephine Marin. Her arrival in his life is like a deep ocean tremor along a catastrophic emotional fault line. And now... well, now, he's very, very aware of his isolation and his very human need. But he can't be distracted. When he gets distracted terrible things happen.
He should send the nanny home.
He really should.
But what if he just takes what he wants, just this one time ...
This is a standalone, contemporary romance. It includes luscious scenes of sparkling blue ocean, and tantalizing, seductive food, was well as a smoking hot, dirty-talking Frenchman. If traveling scares you, or sexy times scare you, then this book is not for you. But if you're looking for a decadent armchair vacation after being stuck in one place for over a year--a story that will make you laugh, swoon, fan yourself, and cry--then this one is for you!
