Overview

"Laura has spent most of her adult life avoiding serious relationships, flitting around the world, and keeping her romantic expectations comfortably low. As far as she's concerned, chocolate is just as satisfying as true love---and a lot less complicated. So how has she managed to get involved with a dangerously charming Frenchman named Sebastien? And only ""weeks"" before she's scheduled to leave Paris for good? The cultural differences alone are enough to kill any relationship. She's from small-town Georgia. He's a sophisticated Parisian. They go together like grits and ""escargot."" But Sebastien isn't just any Frenchman. He's a gorgeous, sweet, sexy, graphic artist, and as the days slip by, Laura's finding it harder and harder to say ""adieu."" Unless she comes to her senses soon, she could end up ruining her life with a beautiful romance. . . ."

A romantic, hilarious souffle of a story! Move over, Bridget Jones. Charming and laugh-out-loud funny. A charming, light-hearted romp through a cross-cultural quagmire. A fabulous romp from Paris to Podunk and back again. Loved it. Laura Florand's reluctant heroine is adorable, and her perfect Parisian amour can wait on my table anytime. --Haywood Smith, New York Times bestselling author of the Red Hat Club series on Blame It on Paris Laura Florand offers up an outsider's oddly inside view of Paris, and she does so in a narrative that is by turns witty and touching, but always charming. Best of all, she turns the tables and lets us see our own culture through the fresh, French eyes of the man she loves. Do yourself a favor: Read this book. --Joshilyn Jackson, author of Gods in Alabama on Blame It on Paris A romantic, hilarious souffle of a story! Move over, Bridget Jones. Charming and laugh-out-loud funny. --Deborah Smith, New York Times bestselling author of A Place to Call Home on Blame It on Paris This delightful book should come with a warning label: do not read while traveling, otherwise other passengers will wonder why you keep laughing aloud and shouting 'Vive la Laura Florand!' --Cassandra King, author of The Sunday Wife on Blame It on Paris I was taught in high school chemistry never to combine two ingredients whose properties you don't fully understand. Well, Laura Florand ignored that advice and mixed a Parisian gentleman with a Southern lady, and what she got, predictably, was combustible. Blame It on Paris is a charming, light-hearted romp through a cross-cultural quagmire that proves that love, if it can't conquer all, certainly is a match for a couple with families at different ends of the universe. --Larry Habegger, editor, Travelers' Tales Paris A fabulous romp from Paris to Podunk and back again.
