Today it is my great pleasure to introduce you to a lovely new contemporary romance set in The City of Light.
Presenting:
Emma Brooks, single mom and managing director at the leading recruiting firm in Paris, was against their merger with an American company from the start. Not only was her firm losing its autonomy, she was losing her well-deserved promotion to Cole Dorset – a handsome, arrogant interloper from New York!
How did Cole’s ex-girlfriend’s dream of moving to Paris become his nightmare? Now he’s got to find his way in a new country, and the woman showing him the ropes wants to string him up by one. But as he gets to know Emma and her daughter, he realizes Paris may have more to offer than he thought…

Now for my book review:
The opening lines of The
Paris Connection brought back vivid memories of the one time my husband and
I risked our lives by driving our little British car on the streets of Paris. “Crazy”
is a mild term to describe the experience! So I could easily identify with Emma’s
late arrival at the airport to pick up her new boss, Cole Dorset. And the
conflict between these two was clear from their first meeting.
The Paris Connection
is a sweet genre romance novel that reminded me pleasantly of the clean Harlequin novels
I devoured as a teen back in the 1970’s. The delightful setting, crisply-drawn
characters, a clear threat to the heroine’s professional reputation, the
honorable hero, a charming little girl—all these successfully draw the reader
into the story and make for a quick and enjoyable romance read. The story kept me
turning pages; I finished it in one day.
I have not read the first book in this series, yet I never
felt lost or confused; this story easily stands on its own. If you enjoy romance
novels and literary getaways to exotic places, be sure to pick up a copy of The Paris Connection!
