Samantha Verant is a travel addict, a self-professed oenophile, and a determined, if occasionally unconventional, at-home French chef. She lives in southwestern France, where she's married to a sexy French rocket scientist she met in 1989 (but ignored for twenty years), a stepmom to two incredible kids, and the adoptive mother to a ridiculously adorable French cat. When she's not trekking from Provence to the Pyrenees or embracing her inner Julia Child, Sam is making her best effort to relearn those dreaded conjugations.
Once again, Verant lavishes us with the continuation of the intriguing story of Chef Sophie. This book is a sheer delight--full of twists and turns, family and food, love and romance, and of course, plenty of la vie en France. --Janice MacLeod, New York Times best selling author of Paris Letters With a colorful medley of characters and ingredients, Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars is a culinary delight. One can't help but root for this ambitious young chef as she overcomes unimaginable obstacles to reach for her dreams. With heart and charm, author Samantha Verant delivers once again!--Nicole Meier, author of The Second Chance Supper Club Chef Sophie is at it again with her passion for food that will make you wish you could hop the next flight for France and her desire to have it all. But in true Verant fashion, Sophie must first run the gamut of what she thinks she wants and what she really wants. Verant pulls off Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars with all the grace and style we have come to expect from this talented author.--Barbara Conrey, USA Today Bestselling Author of Nowhere Near Goodbye Verant is a masterful storyteller with a special knack for weaving mouthwatering menus into her storyline--and bonus: she generously shares her recipes in the back of the book.--Lori Nelson Spielman, bestselling author of The Star-crossed Sisters of Tuscany Smart, delightful, and--dare I say?--downright delicious, Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars has all the right ingredients. Samantha Verant has captured the very best of France, and women's fiction, in her compulsively readable novel. Highly recommended. --Camille Pagan, bestselling author of Don't Make Me Turn This Life Around A 'deuxieme plat' of Sophie? Delicieux! --KJ Dell'Antonia, New York Times bestselling author of The Chicken Sisters
