Publisher's summary

Lea Mortimer has everything under control. As a highly sought-after consultant specializing in transforming dilapidated French country estates into boutique hotels, she relishes her freedom as a single, childfree woman. And her life is full, occupied as much by her impeccable historic renovations as by the aristocratic—and often exhausting—French families she works for.

But after the heated divorce of her closest friend and cousin Stephanie Bryce, Lea finds herself taking Stephanie and her college-aged daughter to the Loire Valley in France for the summer. As they tag along for Lea’s latest work assignment, despite their best intentions, they threaten to complicate the tightrope act of launching the hotel on time. And when Lea unexpectedly falls for the much-younger son of her boss, she quickly learns the beauty and danger of losing control.

As affairs bloom in the idyllic chateau, wars of inheritance play out between the family, and betrayals threaten even the most solid relationships, Lea realizes that it's not just a broken heart she's risking, but her entire, meticulously constructed life blowing up in her face.

Perfection

Loved this story soooo much! The voice acting is amazing too. I am a big fan of Chelsea Fagan’s Financial Diet media company so of course jumped at the opportunity to get it. Her reading is sensational and I’m so glad the line to renew the book from my local library was too long! A fun romantic must read. Completely devoured this title.

Love Chelsea!

So glad Chelsea narrated, what a fun summer escape to the chateau, and I loved the financial elements woven into the story!

Entertaining Listen

A very fun and easy listen! The ending seemed a touch rushed, but that’s just my opinion. Great getaway book.

Just the thoughtful romance I was hoping for!

Absolutely loved this book as read by the author. Such an enjoyable read/listen. What a fabulous job Chelsea!

Excellent narration and pleasant plot!

This book is like a chic version a hallmark movie ✨ Keeps you engaged without being intense, only delightful vibes! Glad to have found it!

Entertaining Read!

I normally don't go for this genre but thought I would try it out. This book tells a great entertaining story with enthralling characters. The audio performance brings so much life to the enjoyable scenes and characters! Highly recommend!

Lovely summer read

I liked the story, the characters but especially the setting and all the gorgeous details Chelsea mentioned about the French chateau. Truly a fantastic imaginary trip.

a cozy, perfect read

This is the first fiction book that I've read in years and it was perfect. Chelsea's tone throughout felt so realistic that I instantly felt like I was at the chateau or anywhere Leah was. I can't wait for more from this author!

European Summer Read

This was recommended to me by a friend who insisted that because I loved YOU MADE A FOOL OF DEATH WITH YOUR BEAUTY by Akwaeke Emezi, that I would love A PERFECT VINTAGE. And while I can see why she made that recommendation, it didn't end up working out like that.

A PERFECT VINTAGE has the same fun, summery vibes, but with none of the same depth. Everything about this book felt like a very "at face value" type of situation. None of the characters really stood out from each other. Especially THE MEN!!! I had no clue who any of them were supposed to be at any given time. They all felt like the same character.

Anyways this book had semi-okay vibes which is why it got three stars.

Good story but worst main character

It’s not that I disliked the story it’s that I disliked the main character so much that I could not root for her at all
