A Moment in Paris is the debut novel from Danielle Wright. It is a sweet and romantic read and how could it not be when it is based in Paris - the city of love.Tenley Clarkson has always dreamt of travelling and after the break up of a relationship she decides to make that dream come true and along with her best friend Lacey they make the journey to Paris. It's here she meets Jayden Matthews who becomes her personal tour guide but oh so much more.Jayden Matthews is living in Paris to take care of his elderly french grandmother. His best friend, Brandon, also decided to come to Paris with Jayden where they both work construction. However Jayden has a deep passion of the architecture and history of Paris and it is through this passion that he has uncovered every beautiful site that he shares with Tenley.It is through these personal tours that Tenley and Jayden develop unreserved feelings for each other and an intense relationship develops.The characters were instantly likeable, especially Jayden who is an all round sweet and loving guy. Tenley does come across a little immature at times for me but didn't put me off her. Lacey and Brandon were a welcome addition and were a bonus couple. They were pretty full on.The descriptions of the atmosphere and the surroundings were well executed and at times I felt as though I was back in Paris which brought back great memories (I really need to go back there!)This is part of a series with a story that is to be continued, so so there is a cliffy ending.Overall this is a sweet, sexy and romantic read and a great debut for Ms Wright.
