A sexy Frenchman. A beautiful tourist. One summer in Paris.

It’s 1969, and the world is changing. Men are on the moon, and American tourist Aurora Masters’ head is in the stars. The sensual sculptor she watches through a timeworn studio window is her favorite French piece of art. Gaston Lyon lives up to his name. He is a lion of a Frenchman, strong and confident, with a shoulder-length mane. The woman on the bench across the street has watched him for three days. It’s time to introduce himself to the one who calls without words.

Two strangers and one relentless attraction. Time and distance are no match for chemistry and destiny during the Age of Aquarius.

not what I expected

I didn't realize that this was not contemporary romance. it's set in 1969, so that threw me some. it was really short, which isn't a complaint, but the last 18 or so minutes is a preview of another book. the narration was good. I don't think I was familiar with Maxine Mitchell before this. I wouldn't mind listening to her do something else, something longer. never had an issue with a Joe arden book. I liked the accent, it kicked up the spice a lot

Short but sweet

A Love for All Seasons is a hot but sweet novella that is a great intro to the series. Aurora is an American in Paris who meets Gaston, a sexy hot artist. Their flirty banter leads to a night of passion and so much more. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did a fantastic job bringing this story to life.

Enjoyable quick listen!

I really enjoyed this steamy novella about love and passion in Paris, the city of love and romance. Aurora Masters, has been traveling thru Europe, and Paris is her last stop before flying home to Montana. She is intrigued by a handsome French sculptor, who she surreptitiously watches for several days. But Gaston Lyon notices her as well and must meet the free spirited, beautiful woman. They connect from the start and their chemistry is explosive. When it is time for Aurora to leave, Gaston cannot bear to let her go. So begins the legacy of the Lyon family and allows us to understand the passion that drives them.
Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were so perfect to give voice to these characters, making me care for them both in a short time. I loved their passionate performances and their accents, making this an enjoyable quick listen.

Great Introduction to the series!

This is the first book in the Lyon Family series. This novella is a great introduction to the next generation series. Aurora and Gaston are great characters. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did a great job with the narration, as always. I loved it.

Their love was kismet❤💞

Fabulous novella set in the city of love. Aurora and Gaston's love was sizzling, instant attraction that was meant to be. French Joe Arden was delicious in his performance. I really enjoyed his and Maxine Mitchell's narration.

Ah-maze-ing narration!!

The story is a quick super hot, super insta love. It's good if you"re looking for somethibg ultra light... no angst, no drama... just pure insta romance! The narration was AWESOME! I mean, Joe Arden goes french! How can i not love one of my favorite narrators speaking in the accent of love? i was held captive! Maxine Mitchell is an amazing hippie. i adored her free spirit and easy banter in this book.

A blast from the past that’s short on depth, dimension, and character development but has entertaining narration.

Gaston and Aurora’s romance is a blast from the past as a long maned, sensual French sculptor and a beautiful, free spirited American chemist share a sensual connection on the eve of the Moon landing. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane, the sneak peek into the rest of the Lyon Family series, and the abbreviated narration performances of Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell but one sensual night of steamy sex does not equate to the love story I was hoping for. It features sensual storytelling and the ambience of Paris but lacks depth, dimension, and character development.

A Romantic Parisian Novella

“My spirit growls, ‘I am the lion.’ And across the table sits the lioness.”

A Love For All Seasons is a lovely prequel novella to Leslie Pike’s Lyon Family series. It’s incredible how much genuine love, wit, and passion Leslie packs into a one-hour audiobook. Bell-bottoms and moon landings don’t hold a candle to young love in Paris. French Joe is magnifique as Gaston! He gives a stunning and seductive performance as the young, swoon-worthy artist. Maxine brings the adventurous, brilliant, free-spirited Aurora off the page with a beautiful performance. If you’re in the mood for a charming, spicy story that will warm your heart and make you smile, press play on A Love for All Seasons!

Quick, cute instant love

This was such a quick, cute audiobook. It’s an instant love between a Frenchman and an American in France. Such an easy listen and Joe Arden with a French accent was amazing to listen to.

Short, Sweet, Sexy

This is a short story/novella that tells us how the Matriarch of the Lyon family found her Partner while on a backpacking trip through Europe.

This was beautiful ❤️

Narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell

He did a French accent for this as the main male character IS French. He did a pretty good job overall but he slipped into his native tongue a few times and when he said “Paris” he annunciated the “s” at the end and that’s not how it’s said in France. Very minor criticisms for a Native American doing a foreign accent.

Maxine seemed to slip into the French accent like a second glove though. It was so soft. She said “Paris” like pear-ree which is more native.

Lovely voices, lovely pairing, lovely writing ❤️
