The Blue Bistro

De: Elin Hilderbrand

Narrado por: Christina Delaine

Elin Hilderbrand, author of the enchanting Summer People and The Beach Club, invites you to experience the perfect getaway with her sparkling novel, The Blue Bistro.

Adrienne Dealey has spent the past six years working for hotels in exotic resort towns. This summer she has decided to make Nantucket home. Left flat broke by her ex-boyfriend, she is desperate to earn some fast money. When the desirable Thatcher Smith, owner of Nantucket's hottest restaurant, is the only one to offer her a job, she wonders if she can get by with no restaurant experience. Thatcher gives Adrienne a crash course in the business...and they share an instant attraction. But there is a mystery about their situation: what is it about Fiona, the Blue Bistro's chef, that captures Thatcher's attention again and again? And why does such a successful restaurant seem to be in its final season before closing its doors for good? Despite her uncertainty, Adrienne must decide whether to open her heart for the first time, or move on, as she always does.

Infused with intimate Nantucket detail and filled with the warmth of passion and the breeze of doubt, The Blue Bistro is perfect summer reading.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Blue Bistro is a wonderful, wonderful love story, the kind that you read, then recommend to many many friends - and so, I recommend it to you. Highly.” —James Patterson, bestselling author of Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

“A wonderfully poignant behind-the-scenes journey into the world of high-end restaurants, island life, and the inner workings of the human heart. A great summer story.” —Lolly Winston, author of Good Grief

Great novel for foodies who love love stories

This was a very relaxing and entertaining novel. The food sounded amazing. The description of the restaurant was awesome. And the story was super sweet. Great book to read after a tough prior novel.

Love, love, love

Absolutely loved this book. Didn't want it to end but took every spare moment I had to listen. Excellent narration. Can't wait to read more by this author.

Absolutely Amazing Narration!!!

I’m not great with words, so I’ll just say that I’ve listened to about 35 books on Audible and I’ve never heard narration like this. The story is addicting, especially if you’ve ever worked in the restaurant business. The way Christina handles the characters...just listen to it, ok? :)

Cute story

This was a very cute story, the only thing it lacked was, for me, believability in certain parts. Well written, descriptive. As predictable as most books I've read, but something left me a little cold at times throughout. Overall I enjoyed most of it, so 4 starts from me.

Easy, Enjoyable Read

I enjoyed The Blue Bistro. The setting was the last summer. There were a few mysteries within the story that intrigued me:
Why didn't Adrienne tell people her mom died? Why was her mother's death a secret? Why was the press/journalist banned from The Blue Bistro's kitchen? What was the REAL relationship between Thatcher, the owner and Fionna, the head chef/co-owner? What was the draw, to The Blue Bistro?

A good summer read. I felt like I had a front row seat in the life of The Blue Bistro. The book read as if the restaurant had a life of its own, a character in the book.
