Broken French

By: Natasha Boyd writing as Tasha Boyd

Narrated by: Jean Brassard, Elisabeth Lagelee

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, and 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; tantalizing, seductive food; as 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!

She is the Empress of his heart!

I can't remember the last time, I've loved so book so much! it was wonderful and so sexy!!

Good writing

This was a lovely romance and I love books with accents, although the male narrator could’ve sounded younger and more masculine but, it was well written. The steam doesn’t happen for a while and it’s not raunchy like so many are these days. It’s not clean and wholesome just not erotic either.

Made me want to learn French!

loved the story and hope to find more books from this author. definitely loved the translation and the readers!

A great love story

Love the characters, storyline, and reader. Looking forward to more great writing from this author.

Kept me intrigued,

The story had a lot of potential. Somewhat predictable but I enjoy romantic escapes into billionaire tales. I got a little tired of the characters' ongoing angst and distrust, but overall enjoyed the book.

beautiful romance

Is a sweet seductive romance with a mix of sadness and everything in between a must hear and definitely a must rehear

Good read

Takes you to romantic France and on a love journey! And a beautiful Mediterranean cruise!

Loved Book/Poor choice on Male Narrator

Loved loved loved this book but wish I had read it rather than did audio. The male narrator’s voice was not what I would have imagined for a 35 year old gorgeous Frenchman. He sounded old and a little tired and sometimes whiny.

strange choice of male narrator

she's a good author and the characters were interesting and well developed... I enjoyed the female narrator, but it was distracting to listen to the male voice, character in his 30's but actor obviously much older.

wishy washy woman

The narration of the book was very good. However, I've never read a book with the female character so steeped in principles on one hand and on the other just steeped in her own fulfillment. I know, I know, sounds like every conservative you've ever met right?
I look forward to watching this author grow.
