Summary
USA Today best-selling author Leslie Pike brings you a stand-alone Lyon Family prequel novella that will leave you smiling.
A sexy Frenchman. A beautiful tourist. One summer in Paris.
It’s 1969, and the world is changing. Men are on the moon, and American tourist Aurora Masters’ head is in the stars. The sensual sculptor she watches through a timeworn studio window is her favorite French piece of art. Gaston Lyon lives up to his name. He is a lion of a Frenchman, strong and confident, with a shoulder-length mane. The woman on the bench across the street has watched him for three days. It’s time to introduce himself to the one who calls without words.
Two strangers and one relentless attraction. Time and distance are no match for chemistry and destiny during the Age of Aquarius.

Awesome start to the series
Love For All Seasons (Lyon Family Series Book 1) by Leslie Pike
This start to the series is set back in the past in Paris. The city of love is an amazing backdrop for the meet up of Aurora and Gaston.
Picture a young Aurora backpacking her way across Europe and now in Paris where she hopes to soak up as much ambiance as she can prior to returning home to Montana. She’s found some interesting eye candy for her remaining days there but the sculptor Gaston is also watching her. Chance has these two peeping toms bumping into one another and it’s love at first site. Their connection was unreal and instantaneous and just how I would picture meeting a compelling stranger while abroad. Sizzling sexy strangers who take advantage of their time together.
I loved this audiobook because both Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell play so well off one another and their performances were real and fun loving too. This being the first instalment into what’s sure to be endless enjoyable series. And those accents were fantastic! It’s performances like this that makes me love audiobooks more and more.

A Fabulously Sweet & Delightful Story & Listen🎧
This is a fabulous novella and start to the Lyon Family series, it takes you to where it all began, in the city of lights, Paris, the romance capital of the world, the summer of 1969. Aurora Masters is enjoying her summer holiday and is doing one of her favorite things to do while in Paris, she is enjoying the visuals across from her, a handsome artist doing his thing. Gaston Lyon, a sculptor notices the beauty watching him, he was drawn to her and found the perfect reason to go over to talk to her. There was an instant connection, the chemistry between them was magical and meaningful, it was a romance that was meant to be. I loved how everything played out in this short and sweet novella, it is a fast moving and beautifully plotted romance story. I also loved the references of the times, the age of Aquarius, “Hair” one of my favorite musicals and women power. Leslie Pike, thank you for this delightful story.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They have a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, giving each a voice that fit their character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable and just as I pictured the character to sound. Joe Arden, in a French accent, is a treat, a swoon worthy treat. Maxine Mitchell nails it as Aurora, confident in her character and young love. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured the characters’ emotions and projected them in their performance. These mega talented narrators are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

It’s short and good, that’s enough for me
I love contemporary romances who are set a little bit in the past. It gives them some charm, in my opinion, when they’re well done and you get a feeling of the time and place. Oh yes, a different place is nice too. And by different, I mean not the same little American town or big city. Anything outside of the USA is exotic enough.
This story is set in Paris in 1969. What a year, right? The little touches of another time–clothes, words, traditions…–were nice. Especially the mention of free love. I felt it was important because that may be the reason Aurora and Gaston end up in a bed so fast: no qualms about skipping foreplay to go to the end goal. Quite the instalove, as they’re going to build their life on the short week they spend together.
It was a lot sexy considering the length of the story. Not gonna complain.
I had only one problem. As a native French, I often endure people butchering my language in American ebooks and audiobooks. This one did good for the most part, but there were a couple of mistakes, and not only with the words–I’ve never heard of French people eating beans and toast, that’s a British thing.
The narration was good. The female narrator was her amazing self, she did great. The male narrator nailed the French accent… when he speaks English. Not so much when he uses French words–but that’s the picky French in me complaining. It’s short and good, that’s enough for me.

An erotic short story
This is the first book by the author that I have read and it won't be the last.
I was excited by the prospect of it being set in the 60's and in Paris, having lived there and being my favourite city.
The clothing was described so well and I could picture myself right there, but I was underwhelmed by the lack of romanticism, both in terms of setting and their chemistry. It was literally I spy, meet and get it off.
Having experienced long distance love affairs, I was surprised by the lack of description of the why's and wherefore's. Gaston is a French sculptor but what about Aurora? Why couldn't she stay and why did he have to go to Montana?
I appreciate this is a very short story, but surely more could have been said about this, instead of what was happening in the airport? Will all this come out in future books?
Although Joe did a sterling job narrating, wouldn't it be possible to get a French narrator, e.g. Jean Reno or Vincent Cassel?
I look forward to reading one of the author's novels.
