*Book received by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*This is the first Juliette Sobanet book I’ve read and I’m glad I did, because she’s a great writer. I’ve heard so many great things about her books and then when I saw an open tour for Honeymoon in Paris I grabbed the chance and signed up.So here we are, this book is actually the sequel to Sleeping With Paris, but you can also read it as a stand alone, I did as well and there is enough information for us to get into the story and of what happened before.Charlotte is a lovely character and I liked that the fact the she’s an American in Paris, Lyon (France) teaching English and French.Paris is an amazing city and it’s great reading about The city of Lights in books.Charlotte is on her honeymoon with Luc her husband. He planned amazing things, but then everything turns upside down. Luc’s ex-wife and the mother of his cute daughter Adeline Brigitte comes into the picture. She’s a famous actress and dating Vincent Boucher. Vincent is the father of Nicholas and Marcel (two French actors) and he was also married to Luc’s mother (after his father ended up in prison).There is also the fact that Luc has a lot of secrets and he doesn’t want Charlotte to know the truth. Then he suddenly leaves Paris, because Adeline is sick in Lyon. Charlotte spends her last night in Paris with her two best friends Lexi and Fiona and they end up with the Boucher brothers. They next morning they remember nothing and it gets worse it’s all over the tabloids. Of course Luc and also their boyfriends find out. Back home the drama increases, Char loses her job and has to look for a new one. She doesn’t tell Luc. It’s also that her new job is at Bella Magazine in Lyon with Victor Boucher.Char is determined to find out what Luc is not telling her, she knows it’s all connected with Brigitte, Victor and his sons. Luc still isn’t saying a word and exactly knows how to make Char forget everything.These two are made for each other, that was clear from the start. I didn’t Luc being so secretive all the time though.The story is full of drama, mystery and love.I loved the scene where Charlotte tried to cheer Adeline up with the penguin story, that was so adorable.Char took matters into her own hands, trying to find out what was going on. The drama increases dramatically and there is even some danger.Lexi and Fiona have their own story developed in this book and I liked the three girls together, real friends.Only at the end, when all the drama is solved, Luc tells everyone the truth…I couldn’t put the book down. It was dramatic, myserious and still sweet and, gripping and adorable. Sme things were a little over the top for me, so I can only give 4 coffee cups, it’s still a great book!
