Book Description
Georgina Ballard has been disappointed in love more than a few times, a fact that she is uncomfortably aware of amid her sister’s wedding preparations. When her elderly aunt Rowena bids Gigi to accompany her on an art tour across Europe, Gigi hesitates but eventually resigns herself to the train journey alongside a group of aged art connoisseurs, if only to mollify her aunt.
Once aboard the Orient Express, Gigi is pleased to discover that not everyone on the tour is in their twilight years: Clyde Haskins, an energetic young art professor from the University of London, will serve as the group’s tour guide. Clyde is equally intrigued that a young lady has joined the tour, and Aunt Rowena and her friends immediately set out to play matchmaker. Clyde and Gigi both find humor in Aunt Rowena’s antics despite knowing that each is determined to keep their heart carefully guarded. Yet, the enchantment of their European exploration weaves an undeniable spell between them. When their journey ends, can their holiday love story endure the obstacles of real life?
My Review
With this multi-author series, I find myself falling in love with the Orient Express a little more in each book. The descriptions make me wish I was on this multi-country tour of Europe.
Until Vienna holds some fun references to previous stories and we see Nicholas (who appears in the two previous books as well) a little more prominently.
Heather B. Moore had me traveling along with Gigi and experiencing her heartache, her embarrassment, her love, and her supports. I loved her walk in Vienna and her journey as she discovered that she really was an artist.
Between the Paris Exhibition and the other areas visited in this series, Art may be the star..
In addition to Gigi, I loved her aunt and her aunt's two friends. What a jolly group of traveling companions. I wasn't completely fond of her sister and mother in the beginning, but I felt like we might have just had a bit of a misunderstanding because all was well in the end.
I loved the luxurious descriptions and the fascinating places I have yet to see
This story was perfect in its tone and characters. There was growth and self-discovery that happens in the best of books. I received an early copy through NetGalley and this is my honest review, honestly, I purchased this one for my shelf since it has come out.
