I Heart Paris by Lindsey Kelk

5 Star

When Angela's boyfriend, Alex, suggests a trip to Paris and Belle magazine approaches her about writing an article, she jumps at the chance to incorporate the two. Unfortunately, Angela's arrival in Paris isn't as romantic as she had anticipated. Her research takes a disastrous turn and she finds out someone has been sabotaging her. Meanwhile, Alex grows distant and the appearance of his ex-girlfriend causes further confusion. Will Angela figure out how to salvage it all? 






Lydia - 5 Star

The third novel in Kelk's 'I Heart' series, I Heart Paris continues Angela's adventures and it is just as funny and endearing as the first two novels in the series.  I laughed out loud often and wanted, as always, for Angela to figure everything out.

Angela's misfortunes are always hilarious and with someone out to sabotage her, an air of mystery surrounds this novel. The confusion Angela feels in Paris with both her work situation and her boyfriend, Alex, as well as her communication foibles with Alex felt real, and I wanted to shake at her at times as she kept making more off a mess of everything.

I really love Alex's character. I think he balances Angela well, love that he's a good guy and that he loves Angela despite all her messes, fears and communication issues. I also like that the series doesn't focus on her searching for a man as so many chick lit novels do, but focuses on relationship struggles.

I enjoyed the first two novels in this series a tiny bit more than I Heart Paris, but it was still enjoyable and I loved reading more of Angela's adventures and can't wait to read the next one when it comes out as well as anything else Lindsey Kelk writes. Fans of this fabulous series won't be disappointed.


Kathryn - 5 Star

I enjoyed this third installment more than I Heart Hollywood because Angela in Paris was a better fit than Angela in LA for me. 

Angela is still clumsy and slightly lost but she’s beginning to actually consider what comes next in her life now that she’s getting some traction in her career.  I find her to have had an entirely believable year throughout the three novels so she’s not one of those fanciful girls who managed to accomplish everything her heart desires in the space of a month (or an hour & a half movie)!  The benefit to a three part story I guess! 

In this third novel she’s confronted with not only a threat to her relationship but a threat to her job that seemed realistic to me. I Heart Paris gives Angela a bit more sense of self and although I would like to see where she ends up next I think that this is also a good conclusion for her. 

I enjoyed Lindsey Kelk’s third installment- we’ll see if Angela pops up again at a later date?
