Another great read from the Harlequin Heartwarming line. This book fulfilled my expectations for an enjoyable wholesome romance story, and then some. I loved the corporate environment setting in Paris, France. I appreciated how the romance between Emma and Cole flawlessly developed. It was believable. Sometimes authors don't take the time to show the progression of a romantic relationship between characters, and the resulting connection seems contrived. This was not the case between Emma and Cole. The author convincingly brought the two together from their initial enemy-like state. This is so significant for me when I'm reading and anticipating how a relationship between two people unfolds in a romantic fiction book. It can be so disappointing when you can't connect with the main characters because you were never convinced that they should be together. This was certainly not my experience with The Paris Connection. I loved the characters, even the ones I loved to dislike. There were comical parts, tender parts and even a little mystery and suspense. I liked the female character Emma because of her admirable qualities: loyalty, strength, devotion and endurance. And although she was a driven, hardworking woman, she also exhibited vulnerability and uncertainty at times which made her a relatable character. I thoroughly enjoyed The Paris Connection, and if you're in the mood for a sweet, wholesome romance book with a great storyline, I know you will too.… (más)
