Perhaps the author wasn't able to make it seem authentic, so left it out entirely? I'm really not quite sure.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-4245389014467376422014-11-22T08:32:36.204+11:002014-11-22T08:32:36.204+11:00I love the Night In The Museum film!

I also can't believe how a book could be set in a foreign country but the author doesn't really bother to include parts of the language or snippets of culture.<br /><a href="www.theperksofbeingabookwormx.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Naomi @The Perks Of Being A Bookworm</a>Naomi.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873384491078672226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-14328255122980986282014-11-19T15:01:44.728+11:002014-11-19T15:01:44.728+11:00I am prone to the occasionally fluffy, especially ...I am prone to the occasionally fluffy, especially coming into summer here. I love books set in Paris, there's something just so uniquely magical about the city. Sadly I would have loved to have seen outside the gallery explored a little more, but the art goes a long way to make up for it.

It's a shame that it didn't rise up to your expectations, because the idea really could have taken off—especially depending how far in France the characters wanted to go. Unfortunately, fluffy romance isn't my buddy, so I'll probably pass on this one... But thanks for the thoughts!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797485444727976121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-18551294101210592852014-11-19T05:15:53.937+11:002014-11-19T05:15:53.937+11:00I was hoping at least some French would have been ...I was hoping at least some French would have been thrown in there, I think it could have only added to the romance. Anna and the French Kiss is still my number one Paris read for me to explore the city through pages. I'd love some recommendations of other books that explore the city too. It always provides that extra little bit of magic to any storyline.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-15583212839792063382014-11-19T05:11:29.577+11:002014-11-19T05:11:29.577+11:00I Googled the artworks too.

It just looses that magical touch, you know? That being said, I do have a weak spot for all things related to France, and it is quite a <i>different</i> premise from everything else out there. But if I'm in it for a quick romance I want some fiery passion :P I don't think lukewarm's going to cut it. <br /><br />Fantastic review, Kelly! <3 x Jess @myreadingdresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316896211583809615noreply@blogger.com
