Publisher's summary

Luca McGrath may be returning to Napa Valley, California, as a promising chef with dreams of starting his own restaurant and winery, but his heart still lives with the bad-boy son of a billionaire James Armstrong. Luca spent his childhood playing games with the golden boy of California society, so blinded by James he barely noticed the dark, quiet lure of his conservative older brother, Dylan Armstrong.

But now Luca's home, and his own powers of attraction are enough to make James question his dedicated heterosexuality and his promised marriage to a wealthy and powerful businesswoman. The obvious attraction between Luca and James spurs Dylan into action - but he's fighting a huge secret. While Luca dreamed of James, Dylan dreamed of Luca. When Luca gets caught in the struggle between the brothers and gets accused of culinary espionage, he's ready to chuck the fairy tale - unable to even imagine Dylan's power to make his dreams come true.

Satisfying romance!

A very nicely done remake of Sabrina with a twist, it's main characters are m/m. It was so sweet and romantic and highly satisfying. Definitely recommend.

Also, I really love Greg Tremblay as narrator, he is phenomenal.

Cute story. Very much like Sabrina the movie.
No murders. No gruesome events.
Greg Tremblay narrates exceptionally well.

Tug of war meets love triangle

Who says you can't go back home? You can, but you might find yourself seeing things differently. When Luca returns to his childhood home with an exciting new job, the last thing he expects is for the guy he's crushed on since he was a teenager to possibly feel the same way. But things aren't as they seem. What if you were handed the one thing you always thought you wanted on a silver platter? Only to realize, it's not at all what it seemed.

What Lain has done here is taken one of the best chick flicks ever, Sabrina, flipped it upside down and made it her own. I loved the dialogue between the three men; Luca, Dylan and James; and the way they all had a different kind of relationship. The story flowed well from start to finish and kept my attention throughout.

Narrated by Greg Tremblay and he did a great job distinguishing the different characters with tones and voices that gave them each their own distinct personality. I have to say, Dylan was probably my favorite. The way his was written, his personality and presence within the story really stood out to me.

If you're a fan of the Author or the Narrator then this title is probably already in your library or your wish list. I think fans of fun, quirky, "which way do I go?!" romances will enjoy this book as well.

Love love love it

A sweet romantic story of leaving your childhood fairy tale to open your eyes to the world and the beauty that is waiting for you. The love Luca has period is breath taking but to see how he feels about people and his passion is wonderful. Also his knight in shining armor Dillion is no slouch in the take your breath away department. I hope we get a sequel to know how the story goes.

amazing

I love this book and the voice actor does a amazing job telling the story like you are right there with them.

Excellently Combined Effort

Really loved it from the beginning to the end! And Audible made the experience as close to a Broadway play as possible. (Hint, hint)

I love this book/recording

What did you love best about Return of the Chauffeur's Son?

I found this book to be a reboot of the Sabrina story, but oh, so better in many ways. Luca to me is more lovable than Sabrina was and less flighty. I recognize that might have been the era, but this author really does the story justice.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Luca is sweet, self-deprecating and generous. He is knowledgeable, and able to hold his own in his chosen profession-chef.

Which scene was your favorite?

So far as favorite scenes go, I love the scene when Dillon takes down the Culinary Arts arrogant bast*** and sets him in his place. I despise the type of personality that Reynaud has.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me pump my fist at time, laugh out loud, scream at the characters and let loose a lengthy awwww.

Any additional comments?

Greg Tremblay did an amazing job as the narrator. He used his voice eloquently to help us "see" the various characters. He switched back and forth between Dillon, Luca, James, and all the others with stunning ease. I look forward to discovering other books he has narrated.
