Wanderlust by Lauren Blakely
From #1 NYT bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a sexy new standalone romance!
The first time I met him, his sexy British accent almost talked me into giving him my number on the spot. The second time, he nearly charmed the panties off me with his wit. Then I learned he's the key to success in my new job in Paris. The man who tempts me into fling-worthy dirty daydreams has turned out to be my personal translator, and his accent is the hottest thing I've ever heard.
My mantra is simple -- Don't mix business with pleasure. I do my best to resist him as he teaches me how to converse with my co-workers, navigate the metro and order the perfect bottle of wine at dinner. But I also figure out how to tell the charming and clever man what I most want to say -- that I want him to take me back to his flat -- tonight.
Except there's a catch...
***
One more assignment before I take off on my big adventure...
And it involves the toughest work ever -- resisting the fetching American woman I spend all my days with. But you know what they say about best intentions. Soon, we're spending our nights tangled together, and I don’t want to let her go. The trouble is, my wanderlust is calling to me, and before we know it I'll be traveling the globe to fulfill a promise I made long ago.
What could possibly go wrong with falling in love in Paris? Nothing...unless one of you is leaving.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I absolutely ADORED this story!
"This feels riskier than flirting. This is exposing my true heart."
Joy is on a mission to start over in a city she's dreamed of seeing since forever. She's escaped a toxic relationship and plans to enjoy her freedom, and live her life the way she wants to live it. She never expected to meet a sexy Brit in Paris.
"This woman might be the toughest client I've ever had, since I'm going to spend every second resisting her."
Griffin is on a mission to complete a bucket list. He's already crossed off a few things, and soon plans to move on to more tropical climes to complete another item on the list. He never expected to meet a beautiful, vibrant American transplant, who is in need of his expert linguistic skills.
"I hold them to his nose. "What do they smell like?"
He inhales, then steps closer, bringing his mouth to my ear. "Like this woman I've been spending all my time with and am dying to kiss.""
Sensual. That's how I'd describe this book. It's a smorgasbord of delight for the senses. From the sights of Paris, to the taste of pain au chocolat, to the scent of Joy's perfumes, how the little touches between the characters ignite their desires, and the sound of my own amusement at the repartee between them.
"He's looking at me like I'm the thing that makes the most sense to him right now. Like we make sense."
Joy is aptly named. I loved her delight and wonder in the little things, as well as the bigger things. She might have previously been in a bad relationship but she came across as strong, vivacious, and fun - ready for adventure. Griffin is just gorgeous! I loved his flirtatious ways, his verbal dexterity, and his noble heart. These two were SO GOOD together. I found their slow burn romance incredibly sexy. The ending was wonderfully perfect!
This author is such a wonderful writer. Her writing seems effortless yet hugely evocative. I'm re-visiting Paris in a few weeks and plan to do my own Wanderlust-inspired explorations!
