Christmas Reunion in Paris Review:

The author wrote the story in such a deliciously charming manner that you cannot help but fall in love with the story and the characters.

James and Chloe both stand out in their own manner. I liked how the author focused on communication to be the key in their relationship. James tends to make all the plans (with good intentions) and expects Chloe to just come on board instead of asking her. Chloe is also stubborn where she doesn’t want James to control her the way her father did. Both of them play off each other so well. Hugo and Sally are also wonderful in the leads, and it was so nice to see them supporting James and Chloe.

Moreover, I loved that most of the story takes place in Paris. We get a tour of the city along with James and Chloe as they reconnect. I also liked the storyline where they meet Marie and fall in love with the Chateau.

Another part that fascinated me was the backstory about the family history during the Civil War, and how it was the catalyst for Chloe not ending up with James. As James mentions, it felt like an episode of Downton Abbey and I just loved it. In fact, the entire storyline about Chloe and Eloise was gripping and I wanted to know more. However, my only disappointment was connecting with the same plot revolving Eloise. I wish there was some direction on that plot to kindle my interest as to what happened to her. Also, while the story was wonderful, at times it felt too sweet. There is no negative character to spice the story.

Overall, I loved this story and cannot wait to see how it continues.
