Can the city of love mend a broken heart?

Romance author Tessa Elliot has writer’s block, and worse – she isn’t sure she still believes in love. To heal her broken heart, she decides to go on the romantic break in Paris she’d booked before her world fell apart.

But when she arrives at the Airbnb, Tessa is stunned to find someone is already there. Her ex’s best friend Ethan has made himself at home, being told that the place would be empty.

As it’s Paris Fashion Week, and with no other options, they agree to share the apartment. Neither will be in the place much after all, with Ethan taking a cookery course and Tessa on a hard deadline to finish her novel.

But sharing close nights in a one bed apartment, there’s an undeniable pull towards one another.

Will Tessa be able to open her heart, and her laptop, ever again?

About The Author

My Review

Tessa, a heartbroken romance author, shares a Paris apartment with Ethan, her ex’s best friend. Amidst Fashion Week and creative struggles, their undeniable chemistry grows, but complications arise when her cheating ex resurfaces. This heartfelt tale of healing and self-discovery blends love, drama, and Parisian charm. While the romance is compelling, the fast-paced attraction and dramatic twists slightly detract from Tessa’s personal growth. An enjoyable, emotional read with authentic characters and a vibrant setting.

About The Author

My Review

The story follows Nadia, a former nurse now working on the operational side of the service, and Hudson, a patient family advocate navigating his role as a social worker. Both are burdened by personal family issues they’ve kept hidden but find themselves opening up to one another as their connection deepens. Nadia is stirred emotionally when an abandoned baby is discovered, while Hudson struggles with the challenges of his ex-wife and their children, particularly his eldest son’s behavior.

The book masterfully balances medical drama, emotional depth, and romance. Nadia and Hudson’s journey is touching, with their pasts threatening to impact their future. Additionally, Nadia’s storyline with Monica adds an extra layer of emotional intensity. The fast-paced plot, relatable characters, and insights into the air ambulance world make this a captivating read, with just the right mix of drama and romance. Fans of the series and newcomers alike will enjoy this installment.
