Publisher's summary

Pip Simmonds is the twinkiest twink in London. He’s loud, proud, and packed to the brim with sass. But when he’s laid low by illness, even his hotpants lose their sparkle and his worried boss sends him to the South of France to recuperate in his holiday home.

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is beautiful, and the periwinkle-blue villa is luxurious, but the real draw for Pip is the villa’s other resident—his boss’s younger brother, Olivier Durand.

Olivier owns a perfume empire and has spent his whole life running from any other form of commitment. He’s worldly, carefree, wild, and the perfect choice for a holiday fling.

Drawn together by proximity, the two men become lovers and friends and then something more. Something special. But will their special bond hold true after summer’s end, when they both must return to their real lives?

This is the second book in the bestselling Model Agency series, but it can be listened to as a standalone.

Love love love!!!

I can’t believe Pip was first introduced to Lily’s fandom as a side character in her newsletter offering and grabbed my heart so much from the start (and everyone else’s) to the point he got himself his own book and HEA! He is such a softie wrapped up in barbed wire and a sharp tongue because he has had to be considering his back story regarding his parents and terrible ex-boyfriends. Olivier was the perfect complement to him. He loves to have fun but is also terribly protective of him and refuses to let Pip denigrate himself.

I adored the cameos involving Jonas, Dean and the rest of the wonderful men at the agency who are friends to both men. The addition of Ezra as a new character drew me in as well and I can’t wait to see more of him. I also loved that Xavier also made another appearance in this book and we learn a little more about his past. I have a feeling his story is going to be crazy interesting.

Lily Morton never disappoints and this is right up there too. Happily anticipating more.

Sweet and spicy story!

French Fancy was my first book by Lily Morton and it definitely won’t be my last!  I had the pleasure of listening to it (narrated by Joel Leslie) and found myself absolutely enamored with Pip and Olivier.  After coming down with scarlet fever and then developing pneumonia, Pip Simmonds is sent to the South of France by his boss (Olivier’s brother) in order to recover.  While there, Pip meets Olivier and a friendship begins to blossom.  Pip is what some might consider a lot, but I loved his outspoken banter and lively personality.  It was such a foil to Olivier’s more serious nature.  I found myself laughing out loud often and falling in love with the pair.  I highly recommend this story if you want a cozy, sweet and funny read!

I loved this story and the audio was even better!

This one is fantastic!!! Joel Leslie is one of my favorite narrators and he was perfect person to give Pip a voice.

I just love Pip and his chemistry with Olivier was awesome. I love sassy main characters and especially when they make me laugh. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!

cute

As a huge fan of this author's books this was not my favorite. Something just didn't connect for me and the outside drama was ridiculous/awful and the wrap up of that drama felt odd and too easy. 🙄

Fun story

I’ve previously reviewed this ebook, and I really liked it. The story is fun and flirty, without too much angst. The way the two men met started the book out with a bang, for sure! Joel’s narration takes it to the next level, as always. His different voices and accents always bring something special and just a bit more to whatever he takes on. It’s always fun to have him bring a favorite to life, or to go with something new to let him surprise you. Highly recommend!

So Much Fun!

I loved reading Pip's story! He's snarky and funny, and Olivier was sarcastic and endearing! They both complimented each other so well even if they didn't realize it until later and Olivier had to chase him down a bit! Yet both are such a fun couple I love how outgoing they both are! I look forward to future books in Lily Morton's Model Agency Series! Lily Morton is my favorite author, I'm convinced she has never written a bad book!

Joel Leslie is outstanding he did a great french accent he is so talented and it's always a joy to listen to him!
