A love story in Paris, with delicious food and so many sights to see – I was all in for it! There were a few mysteries along the way and I enjoyed it all.

Layla is on her way to a wedding in Paris. Her ex-sister-in-law, Emily, is getting married and asked her to come, even though she and Emily’s brother divorced two years ago. It was an amicable divorce but Layla hasn’t kept in touch and worries what everyone will think when they see her there. She and Emily had been close friends during the twelve years Layla was with Jamie.

There is a medical emergency on her plane on the way there and she is a doctor so she steps up to help. She meets Griffin on the plane when he helps calm some passengers. He’s gruff and a little rude but Layla thinks he looks like a Fae Prince. He turns out to be the groom’s best man and when she sees his scars, she realizes he’s in pain. Once in Paris, Layla goes out for dinner with Emily and Rosie, the bride’s best friend, but the next morning Griffin is upset because the bride now has cold feet and he asks her help to try and fix things. While the bride and groom spend time alone together, Layla and Griffin explore Paris on their own and this was my favorite part. I felt like I was there with them as they ate crepes and macarons and visited shops and museums – it was magical.

The week’s wedding festivities continue and when Jaime, Layla’s ex, shows up with someone new it had me wondering how amicable the divorce really was and what happened to break up their marriage? I also wondered how Griffin was injured (he had lots of scars). He and the groom, Michael, were best friends who had grown up together and there were hints of a tragedy in their past. The tension builds as Layla and Griffin become close and the mysteries begin to unfold. I especially wanted to see if the bride and groom would end up going through with their wedding. There was a sad tone to Layla and Griffin’s backstories but there were also moments of humor and joy and some colorful secondary characters, especially Rosie, the bride’s best friend. 

The author writes in a way that kept me totally immersed in the story. This was a lovely, unique romance and I recommend it to readers who would enjoy a story with depth and emotion that takes place in beautiful Paris!
