About the Book:
Paris may be for lovers, but cookbook author Genna McGraw is definitely not looking for love. She’s looking for escape and she’s looking for a good runny Brie to pair with a smooth Bordeaux. Where better than Paris?
In Love Among the Recipes, Genna goes to the City of Light to get away from her philandering husband and write a “crossover cookbook/guidebook” that matches Parisian sights such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre with recipes for bistro-style French dishes. All goes well…for a while. Genna dabbles in romance with dishy French lawyer Pierre Leblanc and makes friends at her French class with New York transplant Marsha Renfrew.
And then there’s big, blunt Bill Turner from Australia. Does he really eat crocodile steaks for tea?
But when Genna’s family crashes her new life in Paris, a crisis forces her to choose how she wants to live. Will she have the courage to embrace an uncertain future and risk losing everything?
Or will she discover love in all its flavors?
My Review:
Those that enjoy light Romance, food and Paris will enjoy this sweet story.
I loved Genna’s story. She’s so courageous to move to Paris, a country in which she barely speaks the language. Meeting people, making friends, taking it one day at a time. I wish I could be more like her!
The romance was sweet and wholesome, with several players, I was left to wonder who would be the man Genna chose to make a future with. Or would she leave them all behind to focus solely on her career? It was such a great story to get lost in! I don’t know much about Paris so many of the places Genna visited were a little lost on me, but I still enjoyed the descriptions and how she came up with a Recipe that matched the location.
I was happy with the ending but wished that it wasn’t the end. I really enjoyed the lovely stroll of this story.
