Juliette Barbier and Claire Cyr run the successful PR firm, Barbier & Cyr, with no difficulties but suffer from overworking in their love lives.  Juliette's partner of ten years, Nadia, has decided enough is enough and comes close to leaving for good.  Claire, however, hasn't had anything serious in some time until she meets Margot, the tight-lipped, leather-clad doctor.  Steph, the intern-turned-professional scores her first big client but can she resist the temptation presented to her? All of the ladies have something to gain and something to lose- who will come out on top and who will fall down along the way?After reading (and loving) The High Rise Series I was so excited to learn the author was writing a new contemporary series!  Luckily I am just as intrigued in this series as I was The High Rise Series.  This series takes place in France- a place where all words are horribly slaughtered in my head and I'm sure any French person would cringe at my pronunciation.  From the Eiffel tower to small cafes the author takes us on many meetings and adventures in this new setting.We are also introduced to a new cast of lovable characters: Juliette, the work-a-holic and emotionally avoidant type; Claire, the perpetually single and level-headed one; Steph, the rising businesswoman and serial heartbreaker; Margot, the bad-ass biker slash devoted doctor; and Nadia, the one on her own path of self-discovery.Even though the author warns us of cliffhangers I can't help but to feel impatient for the next episode! Episode One was a fast-paced, intricate, and exciting start to this wonderful series. If you haven't already one-clicked it I HIGHLY recommend you waste no more time!“If there’s one thing politics teaches you, it’s to give as good as you get.”
