HOP list
To start off my summer French vacation reads I present...
by Lisa Cach
Caitlyn Monahan knows she belongs somewhere else. It's what her dead mother's note suggested, and it's what her recurring nightmares allude to.
Desperate to flee these terrifying dreams--and her small town--she accepts a spot at a boarding school in France. Only, when she arrives, her nightmares get worse.
But then there are her amazing dreams, so vivid and so real, with visits from an alluring, mysterious, and gorgeous Italian boy from the 1500s. Caitlyn knows they are soul mates, but how can she be in love with someone who exists only in her dreams?
Then, as her reality and dream world collide, Caitlyn searches for the real reason why she was brought to this school. And what she discovers will change her life forever.
READ the prologue.
This is the closest real town to my ficitonal 'Chateau de la Fortune'.

Thinking of French food makes me salivate :))) Ironically I love their selection of cheese, red wine and fresh bread which you can pick up on the market. So far I only went to Lyon and loved it.
