I quickly realized I was going to enjoy this book, but it did kind of annoy me when the author kept having the female main character saying(Oh La La) in the beginning of every sentence

Given to me as a joke, but I read it anyway. Not as bad as expected. Not much to the whole thing. predictable but comfortable.

She's a chef, in Canada when her work visa runs out. He is her producer and marries her so she can stay. And of course they love each other finally.
