Frenched by Melanie Harlow
5.0
I went into this book thinking it was going to be a hot and steamy read — which it is! — but I also found that this book was fun and oh so sigh worthy. The best part about this book? LUCAS. You will fall in love with this fabulous French-American man. He will sweep you off your feet just like he did with Mia.
After Mia’s fiance dumps her one week before their glamorous wedding, her friends convince her to take her honeymoon Paris trip anyway. Mia goes against her OCD planning and just goes to Paris to start enjoying herself. You see, Mia has everything planned out including what age she will have children, what age she will be married by, and what age she will have a home, etc. She is a major list maker. Anything and everything is made into a list and planned out. Lucas throws Mia for a loop when she walks into his family bar in Paris. She is upset and missing her relationship status and ready to head home the first night. Lucas convinces her to let him take her on a tour of Paris before she decides if she wants to leave early. She agrees as long as he doesn’t show her any romantic sites.
These two quickly fall for each other only to find out that Lucas has some secrets of his own. Not only does Lucas disrupt Mia and her plans, but Lucas is a person who lives in the ‘now’ and refuses to plan his life in the future. This translates into Lucas not wanting to settle into a commitment with anyone. He doesn’t believe in marriage, kids or anything Mia desires for her future. In Frenched, Mia and Lucas have to deal with their feelings and what it means to be with someone they can’t live without.
