A review by dmchurch
The Riviera House by Natasha Lester

1939 Paris--Eliane watches as items are removed from the Louvre to protect them in case of Nazi invasion while also falling in love with Xavier, an artist friend of her brother Luc. When the anticipated horror occurs, Eliane faces betrayal by Xavier and is moved to another museum where she and her colleague, Rose, work to track items stolen from Jewish families while Luc acts as a messenger.

Present day French Riviera-Facing the incredible loss of her husband and daughter, Remy seeks isolation in a home she inherited from her birth family whom she has little information on. The man reading on her patio the first morning leads not only to professional support but also potential love and information on her past.

The historical part was very well written and engaging; I found the modern day storyline a bit more uneven and less engaging.
