Cerella Sechrist is a new-to-me author, but this definitely won't be the last time I read one of her books! When I realized that we were going to dive into the world of inter-office romance, I was skeptical of how it would play out. But, the story played out nicely—with a decent amount of tension but still with a happy ending.The Paris Connection is an incredibly romantic story. Not steamy, mind you, as this is classified as a "wholesome" romance. But there was just so much romance and sweetness throughout, and I loved watching how the relationship between the main characters grew.While Emma was a single mom, living abroad, without much family to speak of (not at all similar to me!), I still found her super relatable. Cole was a great guy. He respects Emma's desire for a "friendship only" relationship but still pursues her in the sweetest way. And I'm a sucker for kids that play a big role in stories like this, so Emma's daughter was just icing on the cake for me!In addition to the sweet romance and the lovable characters, Cerella does a fantastic job showcasing Paris. Although she has never visited Paris, she manages to make the city come alive. I enjoyed visiting some of the sites alongside Emma and Cole, and it made me really want to plan a vacation to Paris!I fell in love with the story from the first chapter and literally read the book in one day! It was just too good to set aside. (Thank goodness I didn't have much going on that day!) I highly recommend The Paris Connection to anyone who enjoys wholesome romance novels!!! [5 stars]I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my fair and honest review.
