Book Review: Piece De Resistance

You'll have to forgive the title, I don't know how to make the cool French accent doohickeys.

This is the third in the Lexi Stuart French Twist trilogy (you may remember that I also talked about Let Them Eat Cake and Bon Appetit) and it is hands down the best of the series. Lexi has grown and matured so much through the series (which is kind of the point, I realize) that there are no moments at all when you want to reach into the book and strangle her - it's just an enjoyable read from start to finish. I actually ended up neglecting a little house work so that I could finish it - it's that fun.

In this installment we find Lexi back from her time in France and opening the the new bakery with Margot. Phillipe and Celene have also come from France to Seattle, so there's that possibly budding romance to work out as well as figuring out where her relationship with Dan is headed. In typical Lexi style, she manages to create some fairly big messes for herself before finding her feet at her job and in love - but when she finally gets it, she gets it right in a big way.

This is delightful and highly recommended. If you haven't read the first two, start with those - but get all three at the same time because you'll be desperate for the next as you finish the first ones.

You can find Sandra Byrd online at her website and on Facebook.

  1. even something "eh" would distract you from housework, though, right?
