Yet frustrations grow as she pines for his touch. They must meet. Soon. But a secret is revealed that will challenge their desires and the trust both have earned.

ARC Kindly provided by Author in exchange for Honest Review.

This book picks up right where Window (book 1) left off. He is gone to Berlin for two weeks and wants to Skype her. But they have never spoken before. She is nervous to add sound to their relationship but excited as well.

"I couldn't take my eyes from his face. It was so close, yet hundreds of miles away. And his voice. Honey and French lavender woven together. What a way to trap a bee.
'You are beautiful, mon abeille.'
And he was sex incarnate."


Now that they Skype, they see and talk to each other in more depth. They both are consumed with want and lust for the other. It's so bold, daring and so incredibly sexy.

I must say, this book is so original. In all the years I have been reading, not one story has ever started off or come close to comparing with this book. It's one of the many things I love about this series so far. These characters are so open and sensual and yet, they have never touched. Even so, this book is so erotic and panty melting good. So so Sexy.

"Oh yes. Makes me feel as if you are right here. Standing before me. Will you-
'Not yet. I want to look at you," he said.
'Turn around.'
Telling me what to do? Yes, please."


I must say, there is a surprised twist in this book, I did not see coming. There is no cliffhanger. The book ends right where it should and we are left looking forward to book 3, Skin. I personally can not wait to get my hands on book three. My anticipation has built so hight, I my self plan on seeing fire works during that read. Lol.

If you are looking for sexy, fun, steamy seduction unlike any other book you have ever read, give this book/series a try. I loved it.

Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Chelle:
*eARC received from the author in exchange for an honest review

Yet another surprising and sinfully sexy read by Michele Renae. I breezed through it in one long setting, and wanted nothing more than the third book of the trilogy immediately afterward.

Picking up where Window (book #1) left off, our leading couple takes their relationship to the next level. After discovering one another with nothing more than sight across a Paris alley, they add sound to the mix, and jump into a cyber relationship from Berlin to Paris, still keeping to their rules of engagement.

Given the sheer genius of the way these books are written, it's hard to write a review without spoilers. Suffice it to say that Michele ramped up the fantasy, added a sense, threw in a wrench, and had my heart rate elevated almost the entire time with Screen, and I cannot wait for the finale to the trilogy, Skin, later this year.

PARIS SECRETS is one of the most engaging, unique, and titillating series I have encountered. The romance is sweet, the erotic elements are off the chart steamy (and all without touch if you can believe it), the characters super lovable, and the tone light and fun...until twist that Michele introduces towards the end of Screen, which serves as a reminder that the best happily ever afters don't come easily.

I highly recommend this series!

Let's begin with a bang, shall we?

Oh, yes, please!!!

Michele Renae's main heroine suggested starting the second book with a bang - and boy, what a bang that was!

Our story picks up from where it left off. The heroine now has the power to decide whether or not she should contact Monsieur Sexy on Skype. Will she take the leap and add sound to their odd relationship? And if she does, will the newfound intimacy make what they have steadier - or will it break it beyond repair?

Screen starts in a way that is even hotter than Window - right from the first chapter! Of course, the book is full of sexual encounters - imaginary and not - with the main heroine starring side by side with her window lover. Only, this time around, we get to "hear" his voice, too.

Monsieur Sexy is even better up close and speaking - seeing as they video chat, so he's heard now and he seems closer. And oh, what a treat the man is! Turns out, the heroine wasn't the only one who really understood what kind of guy he was, he managed to see the woman behind the glass, as well. He had observed her physical reactions during their masturbating sessions, and he also succeeded in psychoanalyzing her - more or less.

The way they interracted with each other was more than just intimate - ok, we all know those two are hot to the point of molten lava when they're together, and sound between them only made things sexier, but there was more to their relationship than just sex, or, well, jack'n'jill sessions, as she called it. No, while they started out backwards, without knowing each other, their relationship was heartwarming, in the way that most romantic affairs in modern literature somehow fail to capture. It didn't matter that they didn't know each other's name, or that they were miles apart, or even that they had started out as complete strangers participating in mutual voyeurism. They instantly clicked, and were connected no matter how different in some matters they were. The only thing that sort of cooled me down and cost the story a star was his obvious desire for a ménage à trois - I fully agree with the heroine, no woman wants to share her man any more than her man wants to share her.

What also puts this book at a completely different level than other relatively short stories is the multitude of surprise the reader is in for while reading it. Trust me, a plot twist of this magnitude would have even the most famous mystery writers on their knees! At first, as a reader, you suspect something, but evidence shows otherwise until the whole thing comes back to bite you in the ass with a vehemance that leaves a certain mark.

Confused? Want to know what the hell I mean with all that? There's only one way for you to find out, and that is to read it!

SCREEN REVIEW
By: Michele Renae


Earc received to give an honest review.

Sweet mother of all things unholy, this book was sinfully sexy! When I finished Window, I found myself thinking how in the hell is Michele going to top this. Her answer was to give the world SCREEN. I have to say she exceeded my expectations and so much effing more.

It took me maybe two to three hours if that to start and finish Screen and that’s only because I kept getting interrupted. It was easy to get sucked into this book and continue to turn pages, savoring it be damned I needed to know what happened next. LoL.

Screen picks right up where Window left us, with the lead female trying to decide if she is brave enough to take the next step and talk to her window lover through a computer screen. With the addition of sound it brings there budding relationship to a whole new level.

It’s almost like with this new step they add a layer of emotion that was sorta missing in book 1. It’s not all just words written on a piece of paper and stuck up on the window anymore. They can now hear and see what they other is saying and we all know body language and spoken word is the key to everything.

Without any kind of skin-to-skin contact Michele manages to bring the heat level to two hundred. Michele manages to make this a book of the mind, you have to use your senses to enjoy and feel this book and for me that was an amazing thing. Touch is awesome but when you take that away and just use your other senses, it heights the experience.

With the emotional growth of their relationship, the author also had to give the reader a conflict to go with it. I don’t know about you all, but I don’t believe in a everything is always perfect relationship. That isn’t real, so when I read the conflict I was jumping for joy because the perfect wasn’t so perfect and it allowed the leading female to stop and think, to analysis and see if their relationship was something worth going for. It gave us a look into both of their minds, to see how they handled it and then grew from it.

Screen is a very sexy and fun. It pushing the boundaries of what one is willing to accept or admit they might like. It is steamy seduction and all around sinfulness, with the right amount of emotion to make this a romance for the new age.

If you haven’t read the first book in the trilogy, Window, you will definitely want to start there. This is a progressive journey and to fully appreciate the changes and nuances, you need to go to the beginning.

You’ll remember in Window it is all about the sense of sight. The two characters are only able to see each other through their bedroom windows and communicate with written signs on a notepad. This second outing builds on the unique ideals of the first.
In Screen, we pick up with the man going to Berlin for business. He has left our heroine a note with his Skype address where they can further their inimitable connection. Fortunately, as neurotic as she was in the first, she has grown in a short period of time and takes a chance on Monsieur Sexy. They expand on their relationship by adding sound and eventually smell. It’s truly a sensuous expedition.

As they embark on their cyber relationship, she quickly discovers her Monsieur Sexy is indeed a Frenchman. It seems kismet for her fantasies of wanting a French lover while in Paris. They continue to satisfying their sexual needs with their flirty, teasing, and most importantly the steamy Jack and Jill sessions. More than that, they begin to learn about each other; their parents, their jobs, their dreams, and a possibility of a future. It begins to grow organically into a real relationship and not something based only on their physical attractions to each other. Towards the end we are thrown a bit of a curveball when a secret is revealed. Will this be their end?

As a reader we have yet to learn her name, but we do get his. I will leave you to read Screen if you’d like to learn it. When reading the trilogy, you’ll realize this is a huge step forward in amplifying their intimacy.

Much like the first installment, this is erotic rollercoaster of growing emotions and scintillating fantasies. It’s sheer perfection in ingenuity in a genre that can become stale.

*I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

So, I have been anticipating this book ever since I finished Window. And, Michele Renae delivered another awesome story of these two voyeuristic lovers. You must read Window before this book, because Screen starts off where Window left off. And, you don't want to miss the beginning of their story, of course.

I don't want to give anything away, so I will just say that these two take their voyeuristic affair to another level. It's a step further, but yet not close enough to touch. Our Monsieur Sexy is out of town, but makes sure to keep in touch with her the entire time. Even doing special things for her. They really get to know each other in this book. And, the passion is stronger than before. There is a bit of a twist in this book and another cliffhanger, but with the way their relationship is, it's understandable.

I seriously can't wait for the third book, Skin! The connection and sizzle between these two is so strong and hot, that I can only imagine how great the third book will be. I have fallen in love with this sexy Frenchman. Everything from the way he looks to his personality is scrumptious. Both characters are great. As I said in the first book, I love the author's writing style. It's almost poetic at times and just flows perfectly. These two books take erotica and add a big side of voyeurism. I'm telling you, if these books are this sexy without skin on skin action, I can't even imagine what book 3, (Skin) will be like. I can't wait! Great storyline!

Screen(#2) by Michele Renae is a book that surprised me by how good it was because after the first one, I didn't expect much from this one... normally in this genre, the first book is the only one worth reading, the following ones are simply filled with drama and boring.
But Screen is another great book by Renae, a book that should be dirty because, internet-sex? Thinking that alone makes me cringe, it is something that I never thought I would be interested in reading, but again, after Window (#1), I should've known Renae wouldn't disappoint.

This book starts just were Window ended, we have our protagonists facing a tough choice, does she accept to Monsieur Sexy's offer or does she forget all about it?
Obviously, she accepts and they embark in a very atypical adventure, an adventure of getting to know each other but still maintaining a certain distance. The problem is, where do they draw the line?
Our heroine is very decided she does not want to know more than the necessary, but when certain situations force her to feel Monsieur Sexy is keeping a huge secret from her, a secret that might just end their relationship... well, she has to make a choice... is it all worth it?


I cannot wait for the third book in this series, I sincerely recommend this series to anyone(+18) who is ready to read an awesome original book about a very atypical kind of relationship.

The author provided an advance review copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was eagerly awaiting the release of Screen and this book did not disappoint. This story picked up right where Window left off. Our heroine and Monsieur Sexy, as the title implies, begin to communicate through their computers. They finally hear each other's voices as they begin a cyber romance. Their unusual relationship progresses and as they get to know one another more they develop a real connection.

This story had a great twist that I admit I didn't see coming. The author had me so immersed in the story I kind of couldn't see the forest for the trees.

This series is so original and unique in its premise. The idea of limiting the characters use of senses as they begin to know one another, using only sight, then adding sound, makes a surprisingly sexy story. It's been said the brain is the most important sex organ. Some stories explore sensory perception as part of the couples sex play, but the way this series approaches it seems like a type of foreplay before the main event. Yet the author describes other things like the food they are eating with such detail that you can almost feel or taste it yourself.

Speaking of the main event, the next book in the series is called Skin. I am looking forward to learning our heroines name and how she and Monsieur Sexy will take the next step.

The first volume "Window" had really made me have a good time. Original and sexy, with a beautiful description of Paris seen through the eyes of an American woman, I've enjoyed my read immensely. Thus, I've been expected the sequel with great anticipation. And I was not disappointed ...It's sexy as hell!

The author took me on an adventure full of voyeurism and fetishism, perfect for lovers of high heels, directly into a boiling hot relationship via Skype.
The relationship is still original but now words had been add to the image.

Suddenly, the fantasies of the two characters can be verbalized and give place to new scenarios. Still sexy, with the addition of sound, one understands how words, intonations of voice have an important place in seduction, excitement between two partners.
Very well done!

I confess to have found some length in this volume due to lack of action outside of the relationship (rather rooms) between the American and her Musketeer. But the final revelation spices up the narrative.
But mostly, I' ve liked the sensual scenes and loved when the heroin steals her virtual lover's boxer... I would have done the same thing! Lol!
I also appreciate when the author aimed at the reader or ask him to take side in her story. It's refreshing and cute!

I look forward to the last part to know whether the sense of touch will be up to the expectation of the two heroes.

This is the second book in the Paris Secrets trilogy and if you haven't read the first, I strongly advise you to take care of that immediately. The journey Michele Renae is taking readers on is fascinating and definitely erotic. The first book, "Window" explored a relationship that existed in only one dimension, that of sight. Our lovers communicated through windows across a courtyard. The cliffhanger left a question as to the next step in their relationship. In this second installment, another dimension exists, sound. They have moved to communicating via computer video feed. Michele Renae has taken an extremely thought provoking premise; the unfolding of a relationship and the involvement of the senses, and made it come to life with characters I adore - even if I don't know their names! Ms. Renae has a definite talent for writing in he first person, and the story is unfolding with twists and turns I couldn't anticipate.
Once again, I found myself reading straight through and much too late into the night. This is passionate, sensual, well written erotica. It actually has a story, and the love scenes exist to move the story along. Of course, "Screen" ends with the question of whether or not the final dimension will be added. I can't wait to read "Skin!"

OMG! OMG! OMG!
After reading Window (book 1 in the series), I was out of my mind to read Screen! It was definitely one I my most anticipated books of 2014 and let me tell you that It did not disappoint!!!

I liked Monsieur Sexy in the first book. He was cute and sweet. I totally loved him in Screen. You get far more involved in this relationship in this book......one sense at a time. On top of that, this was SUPER hot!! I mean hotter than most of the other erotic romances I've read where there IS touching. There are some pretty significant details revealed in this one that I was NOT expecting. It makes a lot of sense with how everything happened though.

On a personal note, my husband is British, so there were several awkward Skype sessions with us and some of the beginning really reminded me how it was with us back then. I laughed several times, but I'm not sure if I found it so funny just because it was or if it's because I related.

Of course you know that the next book is about meeting and touching.....this is clear from the name (Skin). I am not sure how I will be able to wait for that book to be released!!

A huge Thank You to the author, Michele Renae, for providing me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Arc provided by Author for an honest review.
This book was just as great as the Window book One of this series. It was hot to the bone and it also had a bit of a twist at the end that will shock you a bit. It is an erotic tale about a women and a man having a relationship to were they haven't seen each other in real life yet. This book will make you hot and bothered but also make you really enjoy it to the fullest. I loved everything about this book, the relationship that they have you get to read it from the women's point of view which I also like. It was sensual and she had a bit of emotional war with herself which is different in a way but this story isn't like the other story's where boy meets girl and girl meets boy and they have a relationship. This series is kind of backwards in a way but its good. If you are a fan of erotic, smut, or sex this book will do it for you. It will make you want more and love it. I know I did and do. I'm glad I had a chance to read this book.

I loved this book. It was sexy from start to finish. Screen really embraced fantasy, giving us a big dose of our heroine's sexual fantasies alongside the cyber-sex that she and her French lover engage in (hence the title). Is cyber-sex a step up from the window-sex they were having in the first book in the Paris Secrets trilogy? Absolutely!

Screen adds the sense of sound - now the lovers can hear each other, can tell each other what they want, what they like, what they feel, what they want to do to each other. It's another layer of fantasy, in a way, and it's smoking hot. There's also a lot of attention to taste and scent, and it all comes together into a lush feast for the senses.

As we get to know Monsieur Sexy through our heroine's slow explorations, and as each layer is peeled back, there's more to adore and more questions!

I look forward to Skin, the third book in the series, to find out how Renae wraps it all up.

Screen, the second installment of The Paris Secrets trilogy, starts where Window ends. Our unnamed protagonist and her window lover have decided to step up their unique affair. This time around its going cyber sexy. Skype has gone erotic. Reading Screen simply emphasizes the author's ability to pen a tale that is definitely erotic on every level but has also gone all out in terms of romance. This is a book that has found that fine balance between romance and erotica. This is what makes this series so unique, displaying sexual kinks in a very romantic light. The words so descriptive that you feel for yourself what the lead characters are experiencing. Intense, erotic but still retaining that lighthearted and fun-filled tone. It's the falling in love after the lust part. The twist at the end was quite a cold splash of reality, however, it only adds to the anticipation for the third and final installment in this erotic romance. Summer is far too long to wait for the next one!

Review will be posted at www.books-n-kisses.com .

NUMBER OF HEARTS: 3 1/2
REVIEW:
Screen is book 2 in Michele Renae’s Paris Secret’s series. If you have not read Window yet. I would suggest starting there. I don’t think that this book would stand alone very good, way to much happens in book one that sets up for book 2.

Like Window, I enjoyed Screen and got to learn more about the characters and what drive them. But one of them has a secret that could destroy what they have been trying to build. It will be interesting to see how Michele solves some of the problems that our heroine and hero have.

I am looking forward to Skin book 3 in the Paris Secrets series.

They began an affair through their windows, but he had to go on business for two weeks so he proposes that they Skype each other. Although she has reservations about taking things to the next step she agrees. The continue their hot love affair and things become even hotter. Things seem to be going great until some unfortunate news derails things. This will test their trust in one another even though they haven't physically met and could possibly change things.

Michele Renae is amazing at what she does. I didn't think it could get any hotter than Window but holy smokes did it ever. The female lead starts to develop strong feelings for Monsieur Sexy and desperately wants his touch. Things are going so hot and amazing that I was afraid my Kindle would catch fire! Then BAM a bomb is dropped and you don't see it coming! I don't want to spoil it but it took my breath away...I cannot wait for the next one to come out and see how things "heat" up!

Screen worked as a nice continuation of the events in Window. Adding the element of conversation made both characters a bit more three dimensional. The sex scenes are still intense, but somewhat less focused on as the characters are fleshed out.

On the downside, the plot has fallen into a few cliches that weakened the story - the financial status of the female vs male lead, the situation with female lead's boss, etc. That said, the writing is deft enough to not fall completely into the predicable story telling that seems to inundate the erotica genre.

I am looking forward to the final installment.

So many twist and turns in one book, I didn't see any of them coming and I loved them all, I couldn't put this book down and I'm so excited to read book three, there were some parts in the beginning that were a little repetitive but only because I've read book 1 so the explanations weren't needed but it's a minor issue and didn't effect my reading enjoyment enough to put me off reading more of the authors book's, I suggest reading book 1 'window' to really enjoy the series but the book as a stand alone still works. I'm looking forward to the first skin on skin meeting more than ever after this read. TJ x

I liked thos book better thannthe first. We finally get a real interaction between both main characters, even if it was through Skype. Female's inner thougts had me laughing and i really enjoyed the "relationship" the characters developed. We learned more about them and book 2 has me eager to see where they are headed in the next chapter of their relationship. AND WE FINALLY LEARN MONSIEUR SEXY'S NAME.....and its lovely and seems fitting - I am still curious as to what "her" name is. I recommend this book and am going to jump right into SKIN :)

This book is so good. I like the main character so much, she's someone to which I can relate. Her interests and fears and hesitations, as well as her daydreams all seem so normal and real to me, which adds to why I really like this story.

And it's very hot. I admit, I'm sometimes a little scared of books labeled erotica. Because some of them are a little too out there for me. But this book is perfect in that it's very, very sexy without, well, scaring me or making me cringe.

I've already purchased the third book in the series and have every intention of staying up tonight until I've finished reading it because I have to know what happens next.
