I’ve always wanted to go to Paris and in Faux Pas, Ms Madison takes us there! This is a fun, well written romp for three friends that turns into a fairy tale.

Meghan, Kate, and Diana are an entertaining group that I would have liked to travel with. Luck or Fate crosses their paths with Alex on their first night in Paris and the unconventional courtship takes off from there.

Faux Pas is a light hearted read meant to be enjoyed. There is a bit of drama, but it fits well with the conflict needed to move the story along. It’s a bit of fantasy that we all need sometimes.

My one *complaint* and I’m not even sure that is the right word, it how much of the story is written in French and then translated. To some extent this is needed because the book is primarily set in Paris and the male lead along with the bulk of the secondary cast is French. This is actually what kept this from being a full 4 star read for me. The dual language presentation means that Faux Pas is actually much shorter than it first appears. Having said that, this story feels complete. Meghan and Alex are not left with any major loose ends and they didn’t have any unnecessary detours.

 

Meghan
Five days in Paris sounded like a great idea for three friends. Especially when amazing wine was in play.

It didn’t matter that our rented “apartment” only had one bed, and barely enough space to breathe, we were in Paris and our motto was c’est la vie.

Nothing would faze us, not even the rude waiter at the first restaurant we went to, or the insanely hot manger who was insulted when a bottle of wine was returned.

Nothing could bring me down or knock me off my path to the best vacation of my life.

Alex

I had six days in Paris and then I’d go back to my wine vineyard. It was smooth sailing, until three “americans” came into the restaurant and returned my newest full bodied, savory creation.

I ignored her until she stormed out of the restaurant looking for a taxi at one in the morning. I couldn’t leave her wandering around the streets of Paris, could I?

I’d give her a ride, make sure she was safe, and my duty would be done. Except, was it?

Something about her pulled me.

This could be a vacation fling. After all, there is no real reason for her to know my interesting secret.

I’m France’s most eligible bachelor.

This faux pair is almost a faux pas…

 

 

 

 

 

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
