I confess I haven't read California Man yet, however I wasn't totally thrilled with this one. The protagonists meet, he shows her Paris, she loves everything and sightseeing - and of course, very quickly, him.He is given a script he just "has" to read, so they take off to a conveniently rented farmhouse where - you guessed it - they "get together" for several pages. This is on the understanding that this is only sex, not a relationship, because he swore off women two years ago, three marriages under his belt (a bit of a risk I would say).She falls in love, of course, however, he is determined not to take the romance any further and refuses to give in.Finally, he gives in and she is very happy.The imagery of Paris and rural France is well depicted, the minor characters - apart from her son - okay and there are minimum errors in typos; a pleasant read but not much else. I was a little disappointed, and while I have to say I didn't dislike this novel, I didn't love it either because of it's lack of depth in the plot. All contemporary romance novels don't have to have danger for their characters, but I would have liked something happening to spice this one up a bit.
