Book Description:

Serena has just flown all the way to Paris for a special pre-Christmas weekend with her sister, Lara. They plan to retrace the steps of their parents’ long-ago honeymoon in Paris, and create a scrapbook for their bereaved mother to remember it by.

It’s supposed to be serious sister bonding…until Lara takes off with her boyfriend instead.

Jean-Luc is Serena’s Plan B, a friend of a friend of Lara’s, who has some space in a place where Serena can stay. Just like his latest relationship, his photography final has been an epic fail. He has one night to retake all his pictures if he is to stay in school.

Jean-Luc can’t stand Serena’s loud voice or her bright orange sneakers.

Serena can’t stand his haughty manners or the way his camera is always in her face.

Together, though, they set out into a cold night that will warm their hearts, creating unforgettable photos and fresh romantic sparks in the City of Lights.

Jessica’s Review:

I was excited when I saw Catherine Rider had a sequel to Kiss Me in New York! I really enjoyed it, and was looking forward to more of Charlotte and Anthony’s story but then I saw Kiss Me in Paris features a different couple. I will admit that I was a little disappointed.  Though the ending does come full circle back to Kiss Me in New York!

Kiss Me in Paris is a new location with a new couple all in a 24 hour time period.  Rider has a wonderful talent of bringing you into the location where you may or may not have been before: You feel like you are there with the characters and this time we are in Paris! You can just picture everything as you read Serena and Jean-Luc’s story.

I did not connect to these two as much as I did with Charlotte and Anthony. Maybe it is due to the clash of two very different cultures? Yes, they have some fun times and sweet times, and they also bicker! I did not really see their connection form until the end. And then we have the epilogue which I really enjoyed!

I feel like I have been to Paris now with Rider’s writing; I look forward  to (hopefully) another in this series. I cannot wait to see where we go next and what couple we meet and what their adventure will be!

Thank you KCP Loft for my ARC copy.
