Reviews

[Viki Meadows · Rating 5 out of 5]

A smashing little novella set over new year in Paris. Holly Gardiner has been dumped just when she thought she was going to get a proposal. Then she meets a sexy Frenchman who offers her a ring instead. But Holly hasn't seen the last of her romantic Frenchman, neither is he what he seems. The author does a great job of packing a lot of surprises into a short-ish read without overwhelming the reader. She kept me hooked- I gulped the whole thing down in one sitting- by keeping me guessing. It is tightly written and well edited. Characters are lovely, very likeable and well drawn. I'd love to see a follow up romance for the hero's best friend who I developed quite a fondness for.
Overall a delightful little read for those wanting a little dose of well written escapism.
