Paris Ever AfterParis Ever After by K.S.R. Burns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Paris Ever After is the first book that I have read by K.S.R Burns. It took me on an interesting journey and I met some great characters along the way. Even though this appears to be the sequel to The Paris Effect, it could be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing a big part of the story.
The book centres around Amy Brodie who takes off to Paris on a bit of a whim. But perhaps she should have mentioned that to someone…. especially her husband. What was originally only going to be a short stay turned out to be much longer. Amy begins to build a life for herself, meeting new friends, having fun and finding some of the enjoyment she felt she had lacked in her ‘old’ life. But what happens when her husband shows up unexpectedly- does he want to reconcile or make their separation more permanent? Amy has another unexpected upheaval that adds to her stress and confusion. What should she do- as her Paris dream begins to crumble. What does fate have in store for her? Will she return to her husband and old life, or will she hold fast to life in Paris?
This story was a great introduction to K.S. R Burns work. There were some parts that I felt were a little repetitive, but not enough to keep me from enjoying the story. There are some fantastic descriptions in this book that really brought everything to life and I loved feeling part of the story at those points. The characters were good, although there were times that Amy really frustrated me, and I wanted to shake her. Some of her actions were/seemed somewhat irrational and unbelievable.
The story had a good pace and a smooth flow- with some drama and a few twists to keep things interesting.

Thank you, K.S.R Burns!
