Book Description

7 Feb 2008 Little Black Dress
Ah, Paris, beautiful city of lurve. Who wouldn’t want to be young, free and living within a croissant’s throw of the Eiffel Tower?

Emma Foley knows her stint working in Paris is going to be the time of her life. Who cares if her job as PR girl to crazy French rockstar, Guillaume, means she spends most of her time rescuing him from scandalous scrapes and fending off the paparazzi? The point is, she’s here to find love, and in sexy French reporter, Gabriel, she just might have hit the jackpot...

Nothing out of the ordinary to say about this book, it was just a good, honest easy to read story. Put me very much in mind of similar books by Wendy Holden for the media situations and the name dropping. Overall though it was a nice read with some good characters and I really like the atmosphere Harmel conjures up with her descriptions of people and places, really made you feel as though you were enjoying the Parisian splendor right there with the heroine.
One thing that is slighty strange, the cover jacket of the book seems to paint a very different picture of the novel in comparison to what actually happens. The reasoning behind Emma's trip to Paris is not exactly accurate but also the name of the book's hero is down as Nicolas, when in fact in the book he is called Gabriel?!? Whether this is a name change for an edition not released in the UK I am not aware but its a little shabby for incorrect details to feature on the back of the book that I read which was published in the UK.

3.0 out of 5 stars average chick lit read 27 May 2009
Format:Hardcover
pretty much an average chick lit read about a girl who loses everything (fiance, job, house etc) and packs her bags and goes to paris. although on the back of the book it calls the hero of the story nicholas and in the actual story his name is gabriel which does look to good for the publisher but doesnt really take away from the story. lots of funny moments as emma tries to adjust to her surroundings, but when evil ex fiance brett tries to worm his way back into her life, what will she choose????

2.0 out of 5 stars Chick lit without humor or depth 4 Jun 2008
By Kathy Kaiser - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I love chick lit. And I plow through a lot of it. There are some wonderful, hilarious, touching, and memorable "chick lit" novels on the market, but this just isn't one of them. It's fine, but not brilliant. The characters are relatively likeable, but not thoroughly memorable. Unfortunately, the story is mediocre, with the "surprise" at the end wholly unsurprising. Harmel's descriptions of Paris are well-done, however. I enjoyed all the inside scoop on restaurants, historical points of interest, and vivid settings in which to indulge if I ever visit. But a travel guide does not a novel make. Harmel is almost preachy at the end of the book and doesn't trust the intelligence of her readers to figure out what her main character learns about herself. I was almost insulted by the "About the Author" page at the end in which she has to explain the moral of the story to the reader. I wish I liked this more. There aren't enough fun and funny chick lit novels out there. Maybe Harmel can do better next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down! 18 Feb 2009
By Stefani - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I bought this book to read on vacation and I couldn't put it down! And when I was done, I wanted to read it a second time! It's a cute story that made me laugh out loud. Definitely a good "girly" read.

4.0 out of 5 stars TRAVEL TO PARIS WITH THIS CHICK-LIT BOOK 24 Mar 2008
By L. Hirt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
THE ART OF FRENCH KISSING Kristin Harmel (Grand Central Publishing ISBN 10-0-446=58143-7) Romance
Public relations person Emma Sullivan is engaged lawyer Brett Landstrom. They have been together three years and are living in a house they bought jointly. He did finesse it so her name isn't on the deed even though she has been paying half of the mortgage. When she asks for his list of names so she can send them out, he tells her he wants to call off the wedding. She knows his wealthy parents aren't thrilled with her but still. He claims he doesn't love her anymore. While she is packing up her stuff from the house, he stays with one of her best friends/bridesmaid. It wasn't a plutonic situation. Her options are limited with whom she can stay. She gets laid off at her job at the same time. She calls her friend Poppy in Paris. Poppy's company is doing special PR for a rock star and needs help for a month. Her partner just left. She begs Emma to come work. Why not go. What does she have to lose? She goes, and what she gains is what she doesn't expect.

If you are a single woman, you'll love Poppy's advice for dating. I found taking that trip to Paris with Emma a nice diversion. If you have been to Paris, you'll love remembering all the sights. If you haven't, you will want to go. Enjoy
