The first stand-alone book in the Heart of the City series – a very sassy, super-sexy romance from the internationally best-selling author C. J. Duggan.
‘You’re breaking up with me!’ He was silent. ‘In Paris.’ Eyes dropping. ‘Under the Eiffel f – king Tower!’ I screamed.
Twenty-five-year-old Claire Shorten had looked forward to spending a romantic weekend in Paris for as long as she could remember, and now it was here – three blissful days of strolling through cobbled streets arm in arm with her beloved, eating copious amounts of baked goods and soaking up the culture through each and every pore of her body. Well, at least that was how she’d pictured it….
Even after her boyfriend dumps her rather unceremoniously in the most romantic place on earth, Claire is determined not to give up on her dream altogether – with or without a boyfriend. She finds herself a job in the kitchen of a small hotel; Michelin-starred it most certainly is not, but somehow Claire makes a place for herself amidst the dirty dishes and the foreign misfits who run the place. When the restaurant attracts the attention of the enigmatic – if not slightly terrifying – tycoon Louis Delarue, and Claire manages to survive his high-powered business luncheon from hell, she knows that she can survive anything, surely. But all bets are off when Louis makes a game-changing decision: he’s coming back for a second course….
Book with 💗 This book was entertaining and heartfelt. The characters were well developed. Claire was great lead she was not annoying and whiny like some are written to be. I loved that she didn’t spend her time going back and forth about Liam. Really well written no grammatical errors.
Delightful C.J. Duggan has produced another heartwarming and romantic tale. This book is first in a series, and is kicked off with a smoldering hot chef, Louis. Claire, his unexpected love interest, comes into her own after having her heart broken at the Eiffel Tower. Read and enjoy this escape in Paris.
