French Kiss

Rate this book
What would you do if you found out your boyfriend had not only been f#cking around with a bunch of other girls, but had posted all his disgusting exploits online for the world to see?

I lost it and bought a one way ticket to France, planning to focus on my art while vowing to swear off of dating men for at least six months.

But all of that went out the window when I met Jacques, my unbelievably-hot, tatted-up new neighbor who lives in the apartment across the narrow alleyway from mine.

Our language barrier melts when we're alone together. Jacques worships my body in ways that no man has even come close to, and his touch unlocks a passion inside of me that I never knew existed.

But can I trust him? He may play guitar for The Four Pistols, but I swear, I’ll never be played again.

When she confronted him,he blamed hdr. So when she graduates,she takes a year off before going back for headmaster degree.

Neither is looking for a relationship but as Had a teacher her frenc h an Nora teaches him English they become friends with benefits that leads to live but can Nora have faith in Jacques or will she run when a groupie for the band tells her she's carrying his child and is only six weeks along which means Jacques was cheating an she feels her heart breaking again. Will Nora run back to America? Will Jacques stop her and prove its a lie and that she's the only woman for him? I loved the way the author makes you feel the emotions of the characters. I can hardly wait to see what's next by this multi talented author. I was gifted this arc but decided to voluntarily review it because it's a great read.

This was by far one of the most sweetly romantic love stories I have read in a while. Two souls come together from across the miles and instantly form a connection upon meeting. They even fight through a language barrier as Jacques is French and Nora is American. After getting deeply hurt by her ex boyfriend, Nora pick up and goes to France where she plans on taking a year to learn and explore the art culture. When she arrives, she meets insanely sexy Jacques who also had a bad experience with an ex. Both had made a pact with themselves to not get involved or date anyone for at least 6 months. After a few months as being friends with benefits they both realize that they want more and start dating officially. When a crazy girl that has her sights set on Jacques causes trouble between the two, all of Nora's past feelings about her ex's betrayal threatens to break them apart. Can Nora learn to trust that the feelings Jacques has for her are real? This is such a fantastically written dual POV story. You may even learn a little French while your at it. Highly recommend 5 star read!!!!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Nora thinks she has her future planned perfectly. All she has to do is pass her final exams, graduate, go to grad school and marry her boyfriend. Since he has been dropping hints, Nora knows he is about to pop the question. When Nora finds out what Ethan has been up to when she wasn't looking, her plans for the future change along with her address. Nora decides to spend a few months in France. Jacques has no plans for a relationship since his last one ended badly. He just wants to work and play in his band. Then he meets his new neighbor. What happens when two people not looking for a relationship find each other? Read this story to find out- you won't be disappointed.

Nora is devastated when she finds out that her soon to be fiancee has been cheating on her. To add to her humiliation he has been posting the details online. Sworn off men, she heads to France for some time with her art. She meets her new neighbor Jacques and they are attracted to each other. Wounded from love and heartbreak they have both swore off relationships for six months. The friends with benefits turns into more and then a crazy ex appears and causes some waves. No spoiler here but a fun read with lots of twists. I received an advance copy via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review it.

This was a very fast paced, sweet, and really endearing love story. I couldn't put it down till I finished the last page.
I really loved the characters. Jade Allen really has a way with writing where I really connected to Nora and Jacques. I rooted for them to be together. While there wasn't a whole lot of action, except between the sheets, the story really had me captivated. I wanted to know what was going to happen between the two. Yes I knew it was going to end with a happily ever after but the journey was still fun getting to it.
This was my first book from this author but I can definitely tell you that it wont be my last.

This book had me hooked from the beginning to the end. Nora desperately needed a change in her life after she finds out her college boyfriend of 4 years has been cheating on her. She moves to a small town in France and meets Jaques, who happens to be her neighbor. Things get hot and heavy pretty quick. Trust becomes an issue for Nora because of her ex. Her relationship with Jaques gets tested but their love wins. I look forward to reading more work from this author.

This book has it all, a strong and beautiful heroine, a handsome sexy bad boy hero and an amazing HEA.
The story is sexy, entertaining and well written. The chemistry between Nora and Jacques is intriguing and they feel so real. I love how Nora turn a bad break-up in to a beautiful adventure by going to France. And how Jacques and Nora gets to know themselves better by getting to know each other.

This is a must read!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Just weeks before finishing college, Nora finds out that her long term boyfriend, Ethan, has been a 1st class jerk womanising round and posting his exploits online. Needless to say, she is done with him, in fact, she is done with men! She gets a ticket to Paris and decides to concentrate on her art for a while. She meets her gorgeous, tattooed neighbour who is a tattooist and plays in a band called Jacques. He is staying clear of women too so they keep clear of each other until he comes to her rescue one night. After he saves her from being attacked they cannot keep away from each other. Jade Allen has written a terrific story here with believable characters that I really enjoyed. recommended!

A very sweet short love story. The H and h were cheated on by their previous relationships. A French and an American reluctant to get into a new relationship. But fate intervened, and they get to be "in a relationship" with each other. I won't be divulging spoilers though; but for me its a bit of a fast paced story. I hope there was "more" to it - more plot and depth - to the story. I would prefer that the author has more character development between the H and h as well as the other characters and more "intrigue" before we reach the "ultimate climax" of the story. But overall, I enjoyed it - read it in one sitting.

This is a new author for me. I loved the easy flow of the story that had me engaged from the beginning. The H and h are relatable, there's heat and very well-written smexy times. There were enough bumps to give the couple something to work on to get to their HEA, but it wasn't a total angst ride. I was having so much fun, the pages were flying by, so it seemed like a quick read. But it never seemed rushed or undeveloped. I would recommend this to any romance junkie and I look forward to reading more Jade Allen books.

This was a well-written, very sweet love story. Nora heads to France to put her heart back together after a relationship ends badly. Jacques is her sexy neighbor, and like Nora he is also reluctant to risk his heart on another relationship. Their chemistry is just too hot for either to deny, but it will take more than chemistry for them to make things work. This book is engaging from the start with well developed characters and a plot that keeps you turning pages. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I enjoyed reading this story about Nora, whose boyfriend of several years cheated on her for almost the entire time. To help heal, she heads to France for a year before starting her graduate program. The story illustrates the old adage that every cloud has a silver lining. Nora finds it in her hot neighbor, a 30-yearish tattoo artist, who helps her acclimate to her new home. The characters are well developed, the story is well written and there is most definitely a HEA with no cliffhanger!

I received an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

French Kiss is sweet and sexy. Nora and Jacques have hot chemistry and their relationship evolves organically as she gets accustomed to living in France. I wish it had been a little longer, so that their relationship could have been expanded even further, but as it is, it was enjoyable and sweet.

Going to Paris to forget about a cheating boyfriend is perhaps not so clever as it is the city of Love... luckily she can speak French. He savedher from a weirdo and after a glass of wine he kissed her. He stayed over and they slept but the next morning was the start of their new chapter together. This story has made me want to learn French and go to Paris for a holiday. A women can dream...

This is the first time I've read anything by Jade Allen. I was a little skeptical at first as chapter one read a little simple to me. But the characters grew on me and I really enjoyed it overall. It's a great summer read. I will be looking for more Jade Allen reads in the future. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Awwwwwwwwww!!!!! This was seriously a sweet fast paced not quite insta-love but almost romance.
Jacques is my kind of guy. Even if I don't speak a lick of French! Thank goodness Jade had written in translations for everything or else I would be lost in this book! Poor Nora had a hard time of life in the states. Not only was she cheated on, she was CHEATED on....numerous times! Not a lot of drama but loved both Jacques and Nora getting to know each other with benefits. If your looking for a sweet quick romance pick this up!

This is a short sweet romance story where the friends with benefits turns into more. I love stories that have strong female characters but know how and when to be sweet and charming. The writer did not disappoint. This is a very good, well written and well developed book.

This is a great book about getting to know what it is you really want but also trusting the person you want to be with. There are some that will ruin it but you have to believe. This is the first book I have read by Jade Allen but it wont be the last.

Well I can say I enjoyed this new book from Jade. I loved the way parts were written in French but then the translation was given, it was like what you'd be doing if you were new to the language.
Nora thought she was in a stable relationship till her friend finds something on Tinder that may mean her relationship is as stable as she thought. After finding out the truth she leaves for Paris, where she meets Jacques. Jacques is a tattoo artist and a guitarist in a band. Things move fairly quickly with these two there is a twist that could ruin everything but in the end we get a HEA.
Would I recommend this book YES

French Kiss is the first book I read by Jade Allen and I am hooked. Nora is a sweet, strong woman, who was able to take things in her own hands and start fresh in a new Country. Jacques is an amazing straight forward man, who sets out to prove his worth to Nora. Each chapter made me laugh and fall for each of the characters, I couldn't put the book down. I really enjoyed reading Nora and Jacques' story and I can't wait to read more by Jade.

Nora has to be one of my favorite characters to date! I love how strong she becomes when she is forced to but still soft and sweet when it matters. I love how she was able to put herself out there again, even in a new country!
Jacques has to be the perfect counterpart for her! He's an artist in his own right and also coming off of a cheating relationship. The way they both move slowly was just breath taking!
I cannot wait for more stories like this in the future!
