My Thoughts…
When I started the book, I thought I knew where it would
head. This did not turn me off from
reading it, actually it motivated me to read it even sooner so that I could
find out if I was correct. Happily, I
can say I was wrong. I love when this happens. The way this book was written and the path
it took was not quite what I expected.
Each twist and turn made me smile or smirk and look forward to the next
chapter. There were times when I knew
I had to put the book down to accomplish something else and I just had to read
one more chapter.
The setting of Paris and the lovely coffee house Lena
frequents and Rob works at was a scene I could picture perfectly in my
mind. I could see Lena working on her
homework and studying, while Rob was filling her coffee or tea up trying to get
her attention. Although Lena could be
spoiled due to her upbringing, I am very happy that she is so down to earth and
relatable. She had a good head on her
shoulders and was able to keep perspective on her life and where she wanted to
be.
This is the first book in the “Bistro La Boheme” series by
Alix Nichols. I am positive that I
will anxiously be awaiting the rest of the books. I enjoy when a series has recurring
characters and settings but are good as a stand-alone also. I will recommend this book and most likely
the series as they become available to anyone looking for a good romance book.
