I received a lovely email of introduction from this author, after she had been chatting with my fellow blogging friend Elizabeth, over at ‘Silver’s Reviews‘, who thought I might be interested in promoting and reviewing ‘Paris Ever After’ and had passed on my contact details. I really appreciate your faith in me Elizabeth; and Karen, thanks for the lovely complimentary copy of the book đ

Can Amyâs rocky start in Paris turn into a happy ever after?
Amy didnât realize how stale her life was until she jetted off to Paris without telling a soulânot even her husbandâand had the adventure of a lifetime. Now as she tries to establish herself in the City of Light, she finds that despite a fun (and quirky) group of friends and the ability to indulge in French pastries whenever she wants, reinventing her life is much harder than she imagined.
Then on Amyâs thirtieth birthday, two unexpected visitors leave her wondering if she will soon be saying au revoir to Paris and the new life sheâs struggled to build. Her estranged husband, Will, shows upâbut is he interested in reconciliation or separation? And a young woman who arrives on Amyâs doorstep unleashes chaos that could push Amy out into the street.
As Amyâs Parisian dream starts to fall apart, she must decide: return to the stability of Will and Phoenix (if thatâs even still an option) or forge her way forward in Paris? Amid secrets and surprises, set in enchanting gardens, cozy cafĂ©s, and glittering Parisian streets, Amy must choose between two very different worlds. And each has a claim on her heart.Â

I never thought that one day I’d be writing novels, much less novels taking place in Paris. As a girl I dreamed of traveling to the City of Light and when I finally did get to spend significant time there (not by running away from home, as Amy did, but it was still a big adventure), I found that it was just as fabulous as I’d always known it would be. I also found that Paris has some not-so-fabulous aspects, as every city does! It’s this balance of “romantic dream versus gritty reality” that I’ve tried to convey in my books. Most of all, I aim to make my stories fun to read, yet not entirely fluffy, with a little bit of wisdom thrown in.
