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...

Format:Paperback
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.

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????

Chick lit without humor or depth
4 Jun 2008
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.

It's really awful...really
14 Nov 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The story would appeal to anyone who enjoys watching TeenNick. Writing not worthy of a middle school student. Use of repeated phrases (he drove away "without looking back" and crying described as "tears pricking the backs of my eyes" used at least 3 times each) and cliches ("I thought I would die", "I sank to the ground", "she stopped dead in her tracks", "I swallowed hard", "waiting for the other shoe to drop") actually add life to the rest of the mundane writing. The word 'really' creeps into most conversations and descriptions: "I'm really sorry." "I really like working with you," "It was really warm," "it was not really my problem." Lastly, most descriptions are limited to clothes, locations, and name dropping. If you are not familar with Orlando or Paris, do not expect to get any sense of them from this book. Orlando is nothing more than Isleworth, home of Tiger Woods; Thornton Park,a place with a restaurant that is "nicer than Ruth Chris"; and Winter Park. Paris is little more than the Eiffel Tower and the Louve where you can eat crepes, chicken cordon bleu, and other French sounding food while drinking French wine of course.
If you enjoy good writing, do not buy this book.

Couldn't put it down!
18 Feb 2009
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.
