When Serenity Smith’s parents passed away, she presumed she lost her only family. Then she receives word from a relative far from Washington D.C.—her grandmother, living on an estate in the beautiful Brittany region of France. But the hard-hearted Comtesse de Kergallen doesn’t welcome Serenity with open arms. Neither does her arrogant yet undeniably charming cousin Christophe.

short and not spicy

I prefer other Nora books I've read... this was a little too PG for me.

Entertaining

3.5 Stars ⭐️ Search for Love was written in 1982, and it feels like it. When Serenity lost her parents, she received a letter from her long lost grandmother in France. She first met Christophe when he picked her up from the airport. He was cold and pompous. They butted heads a lot, and he was the typical forceful hero of this time period. They fell in love despite not liking each other. The end. However, I was not excepting to be as entertained as I was. Also, while Search for Love wasn’t in Nora’s voice (and I didn’t think it would be as it was written within her first year of her writing career), there were aspects of who she evolved to become as a writer there.

Not for me

Sorry Nora, not for me on this one. This was the first one sofar that I didn't care for. Christian was overbearing, controlling and just not my idea of a catch. He needed to loosen up. All the other characters I liked just fine.
