Can Amy's rocky start in Paris turn into a happy ever after? Amy didn't realize how stale her life was until she jetted off to Paris without telling a soul-not even her husband-and had the adventure of a lifetime. Now as she tries to establish herself in the City of Light, she finds that despite a fun (and quirky) group of friends and the ability to indulge in French pastries whenever she wants, reinventing her life is much harder than she imagined. Then on Amy's thirtieth birthday, two unexpected visitors leave her wondering if she will soon be saying au revoir to Paris and the new life, she's struggled to build. Her estranged husband, Will, shows up-but is he interested in reconciliation or separation. And a young woman who arrives on Amy's doorstep unleashes chaos that could push Amy out into the street. Amid secrets and surprises, set in enchanting gardens, cozy cafes, and glittering Parisian streets, Amy must choose between two very different worlds. And each has a claim on her heart. As Amy's Parisian dream starts to fall apart, she must decide: return to the stability of Will and Phoenix (if that's even still an option) or forge her way forward in Paris.… (mais)

I recieved this book through library thing giveaway in exchange for an honest review. The cover to Paris Ever After drew me in when I first saw it. Not having read the first book I was worried I wouldn't be able to pick up the story line. It took me a while to warm up to Amy's character, but the further I got through the book it began to peak my interest and became fun to read.

Favourite quote of the book.
" I need to remember that no matter where I end up, Paris will always go on. It will be here, even if I'm not. Eternal Paris. Paris ever after." ( )

Love this book. Definitely a feel good story of a women finding independence in Paris. I loved the cover and that it was set in Paris. I didn't get to read the 1st book but it was good as a stand alone. I would reread it. ( )

Paris Ever After is the sequel of The Paris Effect. I did not have the chance to read the first book before Paris Ever After, so I was reading it as a stand-alone. The author explains very well throughout book to tell the readers what happened in the first book or what events had happened. I felt like I have read The Paris Effect and did not miss anything.

Burns is a excellent tour guide for Paris. She does not only mentions the famous attraction like Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, etc. She includes facts and data (I have not done any research on their accuracy) that most American tourists do not know. I love how she also includes the French culture in the book, from greeting to coffee choices.

I like how all the secrets slowly reveal in this fast-pacing book. None of the characters is perfect. They all have flaws. Some of them are even unlikable, but somehow those characters are the most interest ones in the book. I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend this book to those who want to have a vacation in Paris.

3.5 out of 5 Stars
Received a free eCopy from France Book Tours and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

An easy, light read about an impulse trip to Paris that helps the protagonist get through a rocky period in her life. Lots of observations about being a foreigner in France, although she can be a little scatter-brained at times. A quick read for Paris lovers. ( )

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my review or rating.

Please note that I did not read the first book in this series, "The Paris Effect."


I really loved the cover. Honestly the cover is what made me request this book. Also it's about Paris. I dream of traveling there and eating all the cheese and pastries I can stand. And yet this book made Paris boring. It made Paris an afterthought. I didn't even know that was possible, yet here we are. We have an unlikable main character (Amy) who through ridiculous happenstance manages to come out of the end of this book with a perfect life. It just didn't feel realistic to me at all. The secondary characters were not developed at all (we have Amy's landlord Margaret, her boss/friend Manu, and a random stranger who has befriended them from the last book named Hevre). The writing was not working for me at all. Probably because every five seconds Amy is telling you she has to eat something. And mostly it seems to be cheese and chocolate. I don't know, I just found the whole book boring.

"Paris Ever After" follows Amy as she settles into her new life in Paris. Burns gives readers a quick rundown of Amy's life prior to this book, her best friend died, she fled to Paris without telling her husband (his name is Will) and then Will said they were done and she fled back to Paris. Amy is sort of working (she never seems to show up there) for her friend Manu and also I think runs a blog (it's a throwaway line) and mostly spends most of this book trying to work out what to do when her estranged husband comes to Paris looking to meet up with her and a young woman who has ties to Manu and Margaret also appears.

I found Amy childish to the extreme in this book. She is about to turn 30 (and eventually does during the timeline of this book) but acts like she's 3. Will shows up in Paris, but she spends most of the time either hiding from her (she wants him to make an effort to talk to her) and then following him around Paris without him seeing her. I wish I was joking. She acts entitled and doesn't even seem to get the part she has played in their marriage falling apart. I wish that I could say that I at least had sympathy for Will, but nope, he's a jerk in a whole other way. I just find it hard to read books when I don't have anyone to root for. And when you have an unlikable main character you start to wonder why you are even bothering. Unless I am reading a "Gone Girl" type book, I want my romance novels to actually have a heroine I don't want to throttle.

The other characters read as stereotypical French people. Hevre acts spoiled (he's a Baron) though you have to be pretty obtuse to not pick up on the fact that something that way doesn't pass the smell test. I didn't care an iota about Manu. He was just there. Margaret got on my nerves and what Burns did with her character didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I just chalked it up to plot reasons and let it go.

The writing didn't work at all. The book felt like it was scrambling to me to have something interesting to say. Amy barely does a thing besides traipse from scene to scene with people falling all over themselves letting her stay with them. If that's true I need to go to Paris as quick as possible.

The flow didn't work either. You have an overall plot with Amy and Will, but there are two other side plots happening in this book and it takes until the very end to wrap those up as well as Amy and Will.

The book takes place in Paris though Paris barely feels alive in this book. We do have a scene where Amy takes Will around Paris and that is about it. I still didn't get a great sense of Paris or why Amy is so happy living there (besides the fact she managed to just live rent free with people and have everyone concerned about her well-being at all times).

The ending was too pat and not believable at all. I won't get into it here since there would have to be spoilers, but let's just say that Amy's life is perfect. I can't see the author revisiting the character again after this book since I think there's nothing left to say. ( )
