    About this audiobook

    Can Amy's rocky start in Paris turn into a happy ever after?

    Amy didn't realize how stale her life was until she jetted off to Paris without telling a soul-not even her husband-and had the adventure of a lifetime. Now as she tries to establish herself in the City of Light, she finds that despite a fun (and quirky) group of friends and the ability to indulge in French pastries whenever she wants, reinventing her life is much harder than she imagined.

    Then on Amy's thirtieth birthday, two unexpected visitors leave her wondering if she will soon be saying au revoir to Paris and the new life she's struggled to build. Her estranged husband, Will, shows up-but is he interested in reconciliation or separation? And a young woman who arrives on Amy's doorstep unleashes chaos that could push Amy out into the street.

    Amid secrets and surprises, set in enchanting gardens, cozy cafes, and glittering Parisian streets, Amy must choose between two very different worlds. And each has a claim on her heart.

    As Amy's Parisian dream starts to fall apart, she must decide: return to the stability of Will and Phoenix (if that's even still an option) or forge her way forward in Paris?

      Paris Ever After picks up after the end of the Paris Effect, but the previous book does not need to be read in order to enjoy this book. They can both be read as a standalone. After the death of her best-friend, Amy had made some rash decisions which ended with her being estranged from her husband and living in Paris. She was basically in limbo but getting by with the help her friends. Being in Paris had been a dream come true for Amy but with all good things, they never seem to stay the same.While in Paris, Amy discovers an unexpected surprise that has changed her outlook on life and forces her to consider her situation in a different light. Not only is there an unexpected surprise for her but also for her very dear friend as well. Unfortunately for Amy though, her friend’s surprise interrupts the fragile foundation that has tethered Amy to Paris. When she finds that her husband has come to Paris in what looks like an attempt of reconciliation, Amy starts to consider just what she has to stay in Paris for.I feel like the Author did a great job explaining the circumstances that brought Amy to Paris. Despite her best friend Kat not being a true character, her presence was very much felt. I did feel like Amy was a bit wimpy when she realized her husband had come to town. She chose to evade him far longer than I felt was necessary. I also would have liked more characterization of Amy’s husband. Was I supposed to feel anything for him? Despite that, I feel like Amy was a true to life character that many could relate to and that her time in Paris had both its serious moments as well as its humorous ones. The ending was quite tidy but it was a cute ending that would satisfy many readers.This review is based on a complimentary book I received from Author, K.S.R. Burns. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.

      A trip to Paris without leaving the comforts of home? Yes please! That's exactly what the author delivers and then some!

      As I read, I was rooting for Amy to stay in France even though it seemed things were getting tougher by the moment...it seemed her heart was there even if everything else was screaming for escape...and while I wouldn't have taken the leap of faith she did without making William sing first (he said he had news but kept hedging, spill it son!), she did so with her whole heart. I literally wanted to knock the head off of William's scummy shoulders after he finally gave her the big news, or rather she pried it from him (and his suitcase!)...but he'll get what's coming to him eventually; karma likes a challenge. Meanwhile, Manu played a most unexpected role between the start and the finish...I honestly didn't see that transition coming...and Herve, well, let's just say I was surprised, but I wasn't (something didn't quite add up with all those business ventures). I wish I could say I loved Margaret, but the side I saw of her wasn't very likable, nor was that of someone else that I won't mention by name because it will spoil the surprise, but I did actually appreciate the presence of Kat, however "distant" it was. She seemed like someone to know.

      After having finished my read through, and taking a step away from the epages, I can more fully appreciate the story as a whole. It was filled with secrets, revelations, final goodbyes, and new beginnings...all of which add up to a surprisingly good read...though I gotta say, I think that it might be better to start with the first to develop that relationship with the characters despite this book's "stand alone" status.

      A Dramatic sequel to The Paris Effect. Amy is still as a great a foodie as before. The addition of new Characters and the presence of old ones is what makes this story so wonderful.
    • 4/5
      Amy is a young American now living in Paris after her life took and unexpected turn. She is naive and trusting. This book is light, fun and a great way to spend an afternoon.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. It is a good, light read but still heavy enough that a least a few brain cells need to engage. I almost gave this three stars because the author went a bit overboard with the repetitive attempts at fore shadowing. At one point I thought she was laying down the same basic sentences/thoughts multiple times in each chapter. It became more really irritating.But in spite of that, the characters were engaging and interesting enough to look for the next book. A good summer read.
    • 3/5
      I received this e-book as a LibraryThing Early Reviewer. Amy, who is five months pregnant, has run away to Paris to escape her estranged husband and begin life anew. Fortunately she finds an older woman who takes her in to live with her. I've visited Paris several times and this is a highly unlikely scenario. I have trouble finishing books where the main character is so self centred and lacking in commonsense.I don't normally read romances so perhaps I'm biased. Paris was vividly described in the book and there were some interesting characters. It was a light, quick read but I hope Amy will be more appealing as a person in the next book in the series.
    • 4/5
      3.5 StarsI requested this book because I absolutely loved the cover. And with it being set in Paris, I was definitely in.The book was decent. I loved Amy's adventures in Paris and her quirky friends. Unfortunately, what I was hoping for and what really happened never seemed to jive at all, for me.First of all, Amy got on my nerves constantly. She was a nice person, but her talk about William this and William that got on my last nerve. Sure, he was the father of her baby, but hello he was an A$$. At the beginning of the book, she seemed a whole lot stronger and less immature. I'm not sure if this was because the author wanted to convey her mixed feelings or what. That part I can understand. However, towards the middle of the book, Amy just went on and on and on about William. Then, we finally get to meet this man of Amy's. That was when I started skipping pages left and right. He was egotistical, all knowing and rather boring.This was definitely not what I was expecting. I don't understand why so many times the female lead in a rom com has to be so dingy and flighty. I mean rom com doesn't mean airhead or even rhyme with it. I think it all went downhill for me when Amy wanted to leave her idyllic life she had built in Paris and return to America. Yeah, I know he's the father. How could anyone reading the book not know? I didn't count the number of times this was stated in the book, but it was significant. The redundancy was just too crazy for me.I'm just going to finish by saying it was an okay book for me. It had it's great parts and then there was the redundancy. I'm sorry, the guy may have been the sperm donor but he was not husband, or even father, material.Thanks to Velvet Morning Press and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

      Amy turns 30 in Paris, doesn't that sound wonderful. It is. Amy ran away to Paris and met the most wonderful woman who took her in like Amy was her daughter. She found a job that she enjoyed, friends that she wanted to spend time with, and then she found out she was pregnant. She tried to tell her estranged husband but he refused to answer any of her attempts. Then she sees him, at the hotel she had stayed at, and she wonders what he wants and if he came to get her, to win her back over. Amy is a strong character and was able to take what was thrown at her without really losing a step. There were a few twists that I wondered if her reaction was realistic. The fact that her husband shows up, finds out she is pregnant, and then proceeds to just spend time with her without having an important conversation seemed off to me but Amy just went on with life. Maybe more of us should be that easy going but I do believe most people would question their husband about their intentions. There were a few other happenings that made me go HMM... is that real.The setting of Paris is one of my favorites. I love hearing about the sites, the great cafes, the beautiful cathedrals, and the wonderful sounds of Paris. Every time I read a book in this setting I hope that it takes me to a place that I haven't been and someday hope to visit. K.S.R. Burns is talented with her words and is able to transport her readers to a wonderful city. There are a few side stories, a friend now being who they seem and a stranger showing up and pushing Amy out of her comfort area, that kept the story interesting. I liked that they added an additional twist to a story that seemed to be heading down the path I expected it to.

      This classic chick lit is the second book in a series. After a fight with her husband, William, and the death of her best friend, Amy takes off to Paris to get her head in order. There, she is taken under the wing of a trio of friends, Margaret, an ex-pat elderly Brit, Manuel, her boss and Herve, a noble, when she discovers she is pregnant with her estranged husband's child. The story opens with the 4 month pregnant Amy spotting her husband William in Paris. Amy had been trying to contact him for months, in order to inform him about his impending fatherhood. Amy follows him around Paris, while trying to decide how to meet him and tell her news. Unbeknownst to Amy, William is distracted because he has his own news to tell. When Margaret's "lost" daughter Sophie turns up on her mother's doorstep, Amy's life is really thrown into turmoil. Sophie does not like her at all!First, what I did not like about the novel. William, through his present actions and his past as told by Amy, really did not seem to me to be a husband, that Amy should be chasing after and losing sleep over. I would have dumped him. Now, for what appealed to me. I absolutely loved the author's description of Paris, all the sights, that we saw through Amy's eyes, the things, that she did there, the places, where she slept, and all the description of the food, that she ate in restaurants or cooked. France was never a place that I had on the top of my bucket list, even though as a Canadian, I learned French throughout my school years, even in university, and as a graduate of culinary school, we concentrated on French cuisine and wine. I always turned to Quebec, my favourite province in our vast country. However, the author, through different Paris attractions and history, that she writes about, has changed my opinion for the better. Who could resist a tour of the catacombs to name just one thing? This is a stand alone novel. You do not have to read the first book to follow this one. The author does give you enough background, so that you are not confused. Actually, the snippets of information from the first novel intrigue me enough, that I would not hesitate to search for that one as well.And a bonus. The author has supplied a very easy recipe for those classic French cookies, madeleines, of Marcel Proust fame. I have made them before and I recommend, if you do get the book, to try them out for sure.

      Received a copy from LibraryThing Early Reviewers in exchange for an honest review.I discovered after I had finished this book that it was a sequel, which made sense. There were several things mentioned that I would have liked to know more about, and friendships that were already halfway through that I would have expected to be explained. However, when I read some blurbs about the previous book, "The Paris Effect," it did sound like Amy, the main character, had undergone some modification in between the books, and the books are designed to stand alone.I am sure that someone has come up with a name for this genre of light novels about Paris giving someone a new lease on life. I have read quite a few of them, as I have an attachment to Paris myself (I lived there for four years while I was growing up, so I feel that I have an excuse ;-) ). This one was easy to read, but it doesn't have anything in particular that makes it stand out from the bunch to me.It definitely requires some suspension of disbelief - not everyone who heads off to Paris to find a new lease on life will find a generous English-speaking person to live with, and people who give you couture clothes that just happen to fit!"Paris Ever After" was a nice, happy book to read, with some clichés, some predictable bits, but several likable characters and of course, the Eiffel Tower. I would read more books by K.S.R. Burns, but I won't put them at the top of my list. Burns seems to be part of a group of writers with Samantha Vérant, and I think people who enjoyed Vérant's book "Seven Letters from Paris" would enjoy this one too.
    • 4/5
      I had not read the first book but I was able to jump right into this one. I love the flow of the writing. It is intelligent and descriptive and holds my interest. I could almost see the colors and smell the aromas of Paris.Very enjoyable. Do try it! It is a tasty treat for your mind.
    • 1/5
      First I have to mention that I didn't know this was the second book in a series so I haven't read the first book, The Paris Effect. Looking back on my reading experience of Paris Ever After, that's a good thing because I certainly wouldn't have read this novel otherwise. [Adding that you don't need to read the first novel before diving into this one.]I do want to say that I am still intrigued by the concept, by the idea for this story. I just believe it could've been executed better.Can you see where this is going? I struggled writing this review because I really don't want to bash the author at all but Paris Ever After simply wasn't my cup of tea at all.The entire story felt very repetitive when it comes to our MC's - Amy's - past. I felt like it was said over and over again how it came to be she's living in Paris. The overall story line was welcome, sure, but at one point it became ridiculous to have the reconfirmation of what had happened over and over again.Talking about Amy... She got on my nerves quite a lot. She's supposed to be 30, yet she's very egocentric and judge-y. She has this tendency of whining and being ridiculously naive to the point of me wanting to bash my head against a wall. You can easily have a character you don't like, but this time it totally ruined my reading experience at times and that's just... wrong. I couldn't connect with her at all and it's something I felt is needed when it comes to romance novels like this one. You want to be able to understand their actions, reactions and thoughts but I didn't.Usually when romance novels like this one are set in Paris, you can feel the Parisian magic ooze out of the story but in this case? The opposite was true. I didn't lose myself to its magic at all. Some descriptions almost pulled it off but they didn't enthrall me as I expected them to.Apart from that I also got annoyed by all the translations from French to English. I completely realize and accept that's due to my knowledge of French which made the translations absolutely unnecessary but I still couldn't help but get annoyed by it. Every French word was translated one way or another and it took away from my enjoyment. Again, I realize this is subjective and is totally my own fault.Then we have the ending of this novel. Everything felt way too convenient for my liking. Orchestrated, easy and unrealistic are the words to describe my thoughts about the entire novel when I finished reading. I saw every twist and turn coming - even the ones who shouldn't have been overly obvious. I can't remember reading any clear foreshadowing, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was, really.I'm so sorry for having to write a review like this; but being honest is pretty much in a reviewers' job description so yeah...1 / 5

      I recieved this book through library thing giveaway in exchange for an honest review. The cover to Paris Ever After drew me in when I first saw it. Not having read the first book I was worried I wouldn't be able to pick up the story line. It took me a while to warm up to Amy's character, but the further I got through the book it began to peak my interest and became fun to read. Favourite quote of the book." I need to remember that no matter where I end up, Paris will always go on. It will be here, even if I'm not. Eternal Paris. Paris ever after."

      Paris Ever AfterK.S.R. BurnsMY RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️▫️▫️PUBLISHERVelvet Morning PressPUBLISHEDMay 1, 2018Paris Ever After is a cute and quirky story full of magical thinking SUMMARYAmy Brodie jets off to Paris without telling a soul—not even her husband. Originally, it was only going to be for a couple days while her husband was out of town. But it turned into a longer stay than she had planned. She met a group of quirky friends while trying to find her way in the City of Light, who have taken her under their wing. She has been in Paris five months now, her tourist visa has expired, and it’s her 30th birthday and a party with her friends is in the works. On this very same day as her birthday her estranged husband, Will, shows up in Paris. Because she he has no idea whether he wants to reconcile or separate she avoids him for several days. On the day after her birthday, a young woman arrives on Amy‘s doorstep, unleashing chaos among her friends, and leaving Amy homeless. As Amy’s dreams begin to fall apart she doesn’t know which way to turn. Should she attempt to reconcile with Will and return to Phoenix Arizona, or should she continue to forge her way in Paris?REVIEWParis Ever After is a cute and quirky story, set in a fabulous city complete with some terrific food references and Amy’s favorite Parisian Madeleine recipe. Amy’s character and her story left me wanting. Her decisions which propelled the narrative were somewhat irrational, and flying off to Paris without telling her husband is only the first! Perhaps, by not reading an earlier Burns book—The Paris Effect—I probably missed something about Amy’s mindset. I would definitely recommend reading The Paris Effect before Paris Ever After. The writing was good, but sometimes it felt like the story was an out of control car careening down a narrow Paris street, bouncing off one wall and then off the other. I found there to be far to many coincidences happening to make Amy’s story seem realistic. Thanks to LibraryThing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
    • 3/5
      Paris Ever After is the sequel to Amy's story. I was very slow to warm up to the main character because she relied completely on other people to take care of her. She runs away from her husband and then acts indignant and surprised when she's replaced. I did enjoy the sites and food of Paris the author mentions because both are tres magnifique. The best part of the entire book is the cover; it's very attractive and what initially drew me to request the book. The story fell short, however.
    • 4/5
      I received this book through LibraryThing giveaway and so thrilled to receive. I read the The Paris Effect so it was great to slide right into the sequel. I typically am not a fan of series but really enjoyed these two books. It gave you a flavor of life in Paris but also of life challenges in general. Many times life has a way of turning things around and new doors do open when others are closed. It was just a delightful story and I would recommend. Orth these stories (to get the full enjoyment, read them both).
    • 4/5
      How can one book give me such strong feelings about traveling to Paris?!? Even though this is a sequel to "The Paris Effect" it works pretty well as a stand alone, everything is explained so you can understand what is happening and why. I don't usually read this kind of novels, but I had a lot of fun doing so! I loved Amy, it was such a vivid character and I felt I could relate to her in some way. I thought it was well written and it has the perfect pace.
    • 4/5
      This was a well crafted read. It had a vivid explanation of the feeling of being an foreigner with a language barrier that I really liked. It might not be the style to everyone's tastes but I felt it had an authentic ring. The relationships on the other hand were a bit stilted in parts which was sometimes part of the story but sometimes felt like they were forced and a little contrived.Until I finished the story I did not know it was a sequel as the characters were very well crafted. I loved the small details in this easy read. I say it was an easy read but it was quite emotional in parts too.
    • 3/5
      I received Paris Ever After by KSR Burns from Library Thing Early Reviewers. This quick read is the second book in a series about the protagonist Amy, a young woman who is married to William. At the beginning of this novel, there is a brief synopsis of the first book. Paris Ever After can easily be read as a stand alone, without backtracking to read the prequel. The story begins with Amy living in Paris with a new female friend while she ponders what to do about her marriage, which is complicated by the fact that her husband William is living in Phoenix and that he is unaware that Amy if five months pregnant. Amy escaped from Phoenix to Paris after a huge fight with William. She has made a few friends and works for a catering business. Amy realizes on her 30th birthday that she must either return to Phoenix to patch up her marriage or figure out how she will support herself as a single parent in Paris. There are a series of adventures involving her friends and William that lead Amy to come to terms with her future. This was a light and easy read. The character development was limited, and I never did feel emotionally connected to the story or any of the characters. The references to France and heavy sprinkling of French throughout the book was enjoyable. If you are looking for a book with a simple plot and little depth, Paris Ever After is for you.
    • 4/5
      Paris Ever After was a nice read that told the story of Amy, who ran away from her life (and husband) in the States under unfortunate circumstances but the more we read we learned it was actually for the best. She made some great supportive friends in Paris who helped her through difficult times and introduced her to living in the city. Some parts of the book seemed a little unrealistic but overall it was a good read. It isn't necessary to read the previous book before reading this one.
    • 4/5
      This book is quite a quick and easy read. The main character, Amy, is a nice and kind person who found herself (pregnant) in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Paris. She is very lucky to have wonderful friends who support her in every possible way and make her life a great adventure. Although the plot is nothing special and far from believable, I absolutely adored all the descriptions of Paris, its cafés, streets, food and the like. The whole atmosphere of the book was very Parisian. I would definitely recommend this book as a great read for all those who would like to experience a bit of Paris in their own homes.
    • 4/5
      Amy is living in Paris, pregnant and her estranged husband is still in America and does not know she is pregnant as he is not answering phone calls. Out of the blue he shows up in Paris and Amy must find a way to tell him and decide how or if to continue with him.I did not read the first book but did not feel it was necessary. I enjoyed this book. It is light hearted, funny, provides a good description of Paris and its food. The characters are eclectic and amusing.

      What a delicious romp across Paris with American Amy, with charmers who aren't who they seem, with friends who are more than they seem, and with the necessary Parisian woman-of-a-certain-age at the center of it all. When surprise characters appear on scene, everything changes, masks are torn off, new paths pop up, and Amy, our heroine, wakes up one morning at the end of the book "with no idea where I am or how I got here." Chaos has been in charge, baby Catherine is on the way, and it's time to get the building blocks set up on a new foundation. Great fun to read, with so many unexpected goodies of place and plot, of people and food, and of secrets. And in the end, a story that could only happen in Paris. Magic Paris.

      This was an enjoyable read. It was about a young woman, Amy, who went to Paris after an argument with her husband and befriended some people who help her acclimate to Paris where she discovers she is pregnant with her husband's child. The rest of the story involves her husband coming to Paris to discuss their relationship and her development as an independent and creative person in another country. Well written and a feel good book
