The Gist:
The story begins
in the back of a limo, racing to the fairytale wedding of Charlotte and Luc,
star-crossed lovers who met and fell in, and out, and, finally, back in love in
Miss Sobanet’s novel, Sleeping with Paris. Having resolved their misunderstandings, the couple head off
to begin la lune de miel (their honeymoon) in Paris complete with a fancy
hotel, shopping, and of course, plenty of chocolate in bed. On the last day of their dream
vacation, Charlotte begins to discover that there is a lot that she doesn’t
know about her new French husband.
When they meet up
with Luc’s ex-wife, who happens to be a famous French actress, outside their
hotel, things start spiraling out of control and drama ensues. Not only is this ex-wife still in love
with Luc, but she is also dating an older man who seems to have a past with
Luc- one that he is not willing to discuss with Charlotte. Pieces of phone conversations, and
meetings with people from her husband’s past make Charlotte question giving her
heart so quickly, and ignite her desire to solve this mystery.
Lies, as they
usually do, keep coming to the surface putting strain on this new marriage, and
Charlotte and Adeline (Luc’s daughter) in danger. Not knowing whom she can trust, Charlotte has no other
option than to put her faith in her new husband, and hope that he does not let
her down.
What I Thought:
YAY!! Thank you Miss Sobanet for giving us the second installment
in Charlotte Summer’s (or Olivier’s) life!! I enjoyed reading the first book in this series, and was so
excited to see that a sequel was set to come out. It had been quite a while since I read, Sleeping with Paris, but there was an excellent, quick, recap in the first chapter that
took me right back to the quippy world of the half-naked hottie. If you haven’t read the first book, I
don’t think that you would have any trouble getting into this novel!
This book is a
fast, suspenseful, fun read full of great descriptions of places, food, and
people. The women in this story
instantly become friends, and the suspense that is brought into this
installment is expertly crafted. I
found my heart swooning for Charlotte and Luc, breaking with the secrets kept,
beating fast through the intense climax, and laughing throughout the story with
the wonderful banter that is Miss Sobanet’s character of Charlotte.
If you are
looking for a quick, happy read that will transport you to France, and leave
you with a group of people that you wish you knew pick up Honeymoon in Paris.
