Travel
to the most romantic city in the world and fall in love with Winter and Cade!
If reviewers can be believed—and OF
COURSE they can be—then Kiss Me in Paris
is an epic tale of love, romance, family, friendship and forgiveness. For those of you who might think this
book is just another insipid romance, not so my friend.
Not so.
You will pee your pants laughing and cry your eyes out weeping. You will
become so angry you might need to
punch something, and you will sigh in pure
happiness. One reviewer even left part of her soul IN THE WORDS OF OUR BOOK.
Yes, this is
the power of Kiss Me in Paris. It's SOUL STEALING, and we are not going to
apologize for that.
You see, we
are the authors, and we are married, living our own epic romance. So epic we
even had a fan-following during the early days of our courtship. So we know love.
And we know you will love Kiss Me in Paris—a book that has
garnered only FIVE STAR REVIEWS on
Amazon as of the writing of this, and, we hope, forever and always!
This week is our wedding anniversary,
and Kiss Me in Paris is our first
book baby, so we're celebrating by offering this EPIC SAGA for only $2.99. That's $2 off launch price
and less than the cost of a cup of coffee.
And it's fat free, gluten free, calorie
free and won't stain your teeth.
It will also take you longer to read
than a cup of coffee takes you drink, and it will give you an entire adventure
in Paris. Unless you're drinking your coffee right there in the city of love,
no coffee is going to do that for you.
If you are drinking your coffee in Paris right now, then firstly, we're
jealous (send us a postcard, mmkay?), and secondly, still read this book,
because PARIS. And LOVE. And EPICNESS.
Here's the part where we tell you about
the book, but it's really not enough to do it justice. So let us first say that
there is just so much in Kiss Me in Paris.
Layered themes and a sexy cowboy studying to be an architect, and a girl who's
a dreamer with a dark past, and gargoyles and Notre Dame and mazes designed by futuristic architects (because that's
an actual thing, and Cade will tell you what that means), and heartbreak and
love and happy endings and evil and just SO
MUCH.
But here's the 'official' blurb about Kiss Me in Paris.
Kiss Me In Paris
When the city of love brings two lost souls together, only their
darkest secrets can tear them apart.
Winter Deveaux tried love once. It didn't end well. Unable to open
herself up to another heartbreak, she hides in her romance novels as she
struggles to break out as a real author. She thinks Paris holds the answer to a
new start, but when her nightmare follows her across the world, she's forced to
face the darkness living like cancer inside her soul. If she doesn't, she might
miss her chance to become the kind of writer she's always wanted to be. But
more than that, she'll miss out on the greatest love she's ever known.
Cade Savage is heir to the largest ranching family in Texas. Part
cowboy, part architect, Cade has his feet forever in two worlds. When he
receives an acceptance letter from the school of his dreams, he must decide
between family and destiny. But ghosts from his past still haunt him, and
circumstances beyond his control may decide his fate.
When Winter and Cade meet, everything they believe about life, love and
what it means to be happy is put to the test.
Will the magic of Paris pull these two lost souls together? Or will
their darkest secrets tear them apart?

REVIEW
Le Sigh.
That pretty much sums up how I feel about this book every time I think of it.
Le Sigh. It was a fantastic read from beginning to end! It's one of those reads that latches on to you and refuses to let go, and no matter how many times you say "just on more page", you keep going until there are no more pages to turn.
Le Sigh. It had such amazing, endearing characters.
Le Sigh. It was filled with beautiful romance, steamy passion, bellyaching humor, and heart breaking pain and anguish.
Le Sigh. Cade Savage...need I say more :)
What started out as a fun, adventure-filled trip to Paris, soon turned into an emotional roller coaster ride, with amazing highs and crushing lows.
This story took me from crying with laughter one second to crying with the gut-wrenching heartache I felt for the characters, as they each faced their demons, the next.
I immediately fell for Cade. With his charming, chivalrous ways, and seriously, who can resist a sexy cowboy! I loved how protective and caring he was with Stevie. Le Sigh. Family life was strained in the Savage household and I had to wonder what the real story was behind the tension.
Winter was a real sweet character. I loved her loyalty to Jenifer. Even when Jeni messed up, over and over again, Winter was always there for her, ready to pick up the pieces if need be. Of course, the two of them shared a strong bond, and if they didn't before, they certainly did after indulging in Rocco's famous pastries!
I really liked that Cade and Winter's relationship developed over time and only progressed to the next level when they really knew and trusted each other. Their love felt pure and real. Although they each had their secrets, as their love developed, so they found the strength to confide in each other. I have to admit that I was a little shocked by Winter's confession. I knew there was something up with Rodney, and from her aversion to physical contact it wasn't difficult to figure out what had happened in the past, but never had I thought it was as terrible as it turned out to be.
Winter's spirit and passion for life, even through the horror, was inspiring. Even though she saw herself as weak, she was the total opposite. Physically, emotionally and mentally, she proved time and again that her past couldn't break her, and Cade's love only lifted her higher. In many ways they were very similar - two broken souls looking for the light in the darkness, looking to prove to the world that their dreams were more than just fantasy.
This story was well paced, allowing the reader to get a real sense of everything Paris had to offer, good and bad. At times it felt like I was really there, exploring the city of love along with Winter and Cade. If you weren't in love with the city before, you surely will be after reading this book.
This story offered me everything I've come to expect from a great romance read. It was spectacular!
It gets...

for Kiss Me in Paris
5 stars "I experienced every emotion as
each character felt it. Every tear, every laugh, all of the fear, anxiety, and
stress, I experienced every last bit of it. And even though this is a romance,
there are tears. I cried more times reading Kiss
Me in Paris than I did watching Nicholas Sparks' The Last Song. Kiss Me in Paris left me hollow when I
finally finished it. I feel as if a piece of me was left in the words as I read
<this
is where the book STEALS SOULS>. And for once, I have a book to call
my favorite." ~Merumei on Amazon
5 stars "A timeless and beautiful love
story that will sweep you off your feet, but it's also much more than that. <We're not making this part
up. These are real reviews.>" ~Amy Conley, Amazon

"Beautifully drawn characters and stunning
pallets that bring you in to Paris itself. <Where else are you going to get a trip to Paris for $2.99.

Some favorite quotes from Kiss Me in Paris
•
"One star breaks off from the others, shooting
across the sky, a bright light trailing behind it, and I finally understand why
people wish on dying stars. Because something always has to die for life
to give birth to a new dream. "
•
"Paris is pregnant with layers of history,
colored with the ink of artists who dared to dream of a world only they could
see."
•
"It's like I'm giving birth from my
mouth." <You'll understand this when you get to chapter 5. Then you'll pee
your pants laughing.>
•
"It's the nature of being human that, in our own
blindness, we lash out and blind others."
•
"I think of Winter, of her smile, her eyes, her
arms wrapped around me, and I know where home is. It's wherever she is, and
right now she is too far away. My heart has escaped my body and is walking
Paris without me."
•
"She opened herself to him, and, in that moment,
she opened herself to the world. Let it hurt her. Let it burn her veins, boil
her blood and scorch her heart. For where there could be pain, there could be
pleasure and love. She would be cold no longer. She would melt the hearts of
others, and in turn, they would melt hers. She would feel the full spectrum of
emotions and cry. She would be human. And she would be happy."
And
this is just a SAMPLE. It's like hearing an inside joke if you weren't at the
party. So go to the party, and by this stretched metaphor we mean READ THE
BOOK. Then you can laugh and *le sigh*
and cry and be a part of the cool crowd.
