Short book, really a novella. Characters were well developed and the plot was interesting. I would like to see an expanded version with maybe more details in the scenery, maybe more about their first meeting and the conversations. Would love to know more about the family castle. A good read and will be interested in reading more of the author's series.

Patricia Kiyono writes a nice little story about a woman in post-Napoleontic years.
We get interesting details about French laws, the revolution and the attitude of the French in a little village towards the enemy.
The story could have been nicer, if she had not rushed her story.
A pity.

Still, it is a nice story to read on a Sunday afternoon.

A short read about two people who meet when he falls from his horse. However there are secrets in his past, will they get in the way?

I enjoyed this story which though short has good character development and scene setting. A light read for this time of year

I found "Three French Inns" to be a sweet historical romance novella. I thought Patricia Kiyono did a wonderful job of developing her characters in this story. I loved the title and the play on words with the Christmas song Twelve Days of Christmas. I was provided a copy of this book for my unbiased review. I gave the novella 5 stars, something I don't often do, but I felt it greatly deserved it.

I received a copy from LibraryThing for an honest review. This was a sweet, short story of a British man who falls in love with a French woman who he had previously met. The plot was interesting but my only critique was that I wished the story was longer. Hopefully, Ms Kiyono will expand the storyline to showcase how the first met after the war and the lives of the characters before they met again at the inn.

A very short novel depicting the chivalrous falling in love of an English man travelling across the just defeated French areas in order to settle an inheritance dispute in Geneva. Rescued from an accident with his horse he wakes up in an inn where his wounds will be treated from the same woman who already helped within the war years once.

Heart-warming stuff you can devour on a rainy afternoon.
