The best kind of chick lit: A quick & entertaining read; a beautiful setting, and a woman who can stand on her own two feet. Fun, sweet, and left me itching to return to Paris.
(Debated between 3 & 4 stars. While I won't re-read, I found this wholly enjoyable & a wonderful escape from reality. 4 it is!)

This book was amazing!!! Kristin Harmel is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Her writing is just so exciting and real. Although I found myself guessing exactly what was to come it was still completely enjoyable for me to read. After reading this book I SO want to visit Paris!
And if you have already read 'How to Sleep with a Movie Star' then you'll really enjoy this book as well. She even briefly mentions a few of the characters from that novel in this one, which I found completely hilarious. I love when authors have their different characters from entirely different stories interact with each other, makes me feel as though they're real. Silly i know haha but its a great read!

Paris and a journalist, what’s not to love about this book? The story line, build up and romance might be things you’ve read and seen around, but never gets old.
One of my favourite LBD books, definitely! Love Kristin Harmel! Always the charmer.

A solid 3.5! A nice predictable, lighthearted chick lit book that honestly just made me smile and feel good the whole way through. It wasn’t a complex read and was mostly fluff but Paris is one of my favorite cities so it was wonderful to relive the famous landmarks along with the quirky predictable love story. I’m not sure I’d read it again but I would happily read other works by Kristin Harmel. A perfect 3.5 stars if that was an option!

The descriptions of Paris kept me mildly interested, but this bit of chick lit/romance was so predictable I wanted to shake the author. Bad breakup, girl gets fired, goes to Paris, works with French rock star and a strangely attractive reporter. She also likes the food and fashion there.

Emma Sullivan thinks her life is, if not perfect, certainly headed that way. She has a great job doing public relations for a music company, and she’s engaged to the perfect man. However, on the night of their one-year anniversary of moving in together, Emma’s fiancé dumps her. To add insult to injury, he also asks her to move out of the house they bought together. And, to top it all off, Emma finds out that he’s been sleeping with her best friend! Just when Emma thought things couldn’t get any worse, she loses her job as well.
With nowhere to turn and no job to go back to, Emma calls her best friend Poppy, who lives and works in Paris. Poppy runs her own public relations company and has just landed a job promoting the hottest French singer, Guillame. Knowing that Emma is in need of a friend, Poppy convinces Emma to move to Paris and work with her to promote Guillame’s new English-language record. It sounds like an opportunity of a lifetime to Emma, so she packs up and heads across the Atlantic to the city of lights. What she doesn’t realize going in is that working with Guillame is nothing like she expected, and Poppy has a plan to help her forget all about her ex-fiancé: learn the art of French kissing from the men who invented it.
The Art of French Kissing was a fast and fun story about a woman who thought she lost everything, only to find it all in Paris. The story moves along quickly, and while it never attains page-turner status, it held my attention well enough. Though the story focuses mainly on Emma’s adjustment to her new life in Paris, there is a romantic subplot.
Whether the ending is believable will depend on how much the reader is willing to buy into the strength of the subplot.
