Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars by Samantha Verant

2.75

This is the follow-up to The Secret French Recipes of Sophie Valroux which was better if you ask me. This book was fine letting us know what happened to Sophie once she decided to stay in France at her grandmother's chateau to take it over, but it just didn't seem to grab me as much as the first one. 

Sophie continues to keep the chateau a place people want to be and brings in some new cuisine to shake things up a bit. She's also in a relationship now with her childhood sweetheart and essentially his daughter now, too.

Those that try to sabotage Sophie in the first book make another appearance in this one as well, but it's just all a little forced in a way and seems as though it's too neat of a bow wrapped up.
