The Paris Soulmate by Brooke Gilbert

 

Do you believe in soulmates? 

Christine suffers from several rare autoimmune disorders.  She is turning thirty soon and decides it is time to finally go to Paris on her own.  It takes a lot of planning and packing, but she is soon on her way.  At the airport she bumps into a mysterious and handsome British stranger, Colin.  At first, they don’t get along, but by the end of their flight, they are kissing before they land in Paris.  Will they find love in Paris and is it a coincidence that they have met?

I enjoyed this story.  It is a romantic story detailing their relationship, but with underlying angst.  The book is told through both Christine and Colin’s point of views, so the reader is quickly clued in that all is not what it seems with Colin.  It then becomes a love story wondering when the other shoe will drop and what Christine will think about it.

I liked that this novel took a realistic look at what it’s like to suffer from autoimmune diseases.  You can still have fun, but you have to deal with a lot more issues to be able to have fun.  I also liked the Austen references. This book was an insta-love story.    I loved the story being set in Paris as I have always wanted to visit.  It seems like a magical city to fall in love in.

The Paris Soulmate is a clean, sweet read.
