There are two books in this series so far (that I know of?) and I have enjoyed both. They are set in France, so there are some phrases that were unfamiliar, but not to the detriment of the story. The book plots are hard to describe without giving away too much, but the main character is a plucky single mom (prob why I like them so much!) who uses creativity and stubbornness to get in and then out of some interesting situations!
