Frenched (Frenched, #1)

by Melanie Harlow

[Angie]

Frenched was such a delightful (and sexy!) read! It's one week before Mia's wedding and she's been dumped. Her fiance ran off to Vegas, while she's left in their townhouse full of monogrammed decor. She hasn't really left the bed in days, but her best friends convince her that she needs to get up and get on with her life. By going on her honeymoon alone! Mia lives her life by lists and itineraries, and going to Paris alone is not on the schedule! But she goes, has a horrible first day, but then she meets Lucas.

The more books that I read about Paris, the less I want to visit. I am not into architecture, pastries, or romance at all, so it's likely not my thing. But I loved how Frenched started off with Mia absolutely hating being there! She is just not happy being in the most romantic city in the world, which is how she ends up in a Canadian pub. It's too funny, and made me more interested in her trip. Of course, the sexy bartender also helped.

I loved Mia. She is completely highstrung, but not in an annoying, closed off way. She just knows what she wants from life and has a plan to get there. She has lists for everything, and several are included in Frenched which I thought were great additions. Watching her learn to let loose and deviate from her schedule was really nice. Lucas shows her around the city and makes her more spontaneous. Especially when the sexytimes start! And boy, is there a lot of sexytime!

Frenched was a really great read. I loved Mia and Lucas. I even kind of loved Tucker (the fiance) in a love to hate kind of way; he's just so clueless! I loved seeing a different, less romantic side of Paris. I even didn't get annoyed at the inevitable fight, because it was less of a fight, and more of them discussing their differences and parting, but of course coming back together. It just left me happy.
