SYPNOSIS
All bets are off in the City of Light . . . where life and love can change in less than a day
After calling off her engagement, Mira escapes on an all-expense paid business trip to Paris. Despite the delicious food and flowing wine, she can’t forget the ache of leaving her fiancé behind or the fact that she’s just blown up her personal life. And messing up simply isn’t Mira.
She’s used to being in control. Meticulously planning. But now she’s at the mercy of the travel gods, and they are not acting in her favor. Subways are missed. Trains don’t run. Flights are overbooked. And by the time she arrives at the airport to go home, there are no new flights to NYC until the next day. The worst part? She’s now stuck in Paris for twenty-four hours with her arrogant and insufferable co-worker Jake whose constant flirting and annoying optimism is more than she can handle.
But as they spend the next twenty-four hours in Paris, exploring the city in all its beauty, Mira realizes that she and Jake have more in common than they thought, and he may turn out to be the best thing she discovers in the City of Love.
REVIEW
Mira is a foodie, a bucket-list planner, and a bookworm, the type of person you would want as your travel companion. She knows Paris like the back of her hand. I like how quirky she is and I like that she's a person of color! Meanwhile, Jake is the complete opposite of him. Jake is not the typical alpha or cocky man. I like how he is so hilarious and has so much personality in him. The banter and dynamic were so much fun to read!
I like how the setting is in Paris. And I feel the author's passion for writing this and how she showed us Paris in a single book! I adore her way of writing, especially the way she describes the places and food! It's the food that got me!
The thing that really set this book apart for me was that the romance was mature. Though considering the genre, I had a hard time reading because I don't think the romance was really upfront. An enemies to lovers trope was established given the fact that Mira said she found Jake irritating and annoying. Unfortunately, it was not clearly emphasised. I think it would be best if the enemies to lovers were given a chance to build up. However, the romance was good, there's chemistry, and there's no cheesy, over-the-top romance.
Let's talk about that ending though. I liked how it ended. I thought there would be some kind of twist so they could be with each other, but I like how they just stick with the plan. I loved that! Overall, I rate my 24 hours in Paris as four stars!
