Sophie Valroux's Paris Stars by Samantha Verant
3.0
This is book two of the series. I really enjoyed the first book and was super excited to get a sequel.
Sophie’s life has changed a lot since her story began in book one.
She now lives in France, she’s kind of engaged to Remi and she’s become as close as family with her coworkers. She has two restaurants and a chateau. She’s reconnected with her father and grieving her grandmother.
She still dreams about getting Michelin stars.
One day she loses her smell and sense of taste. This is a huge problem for her as a chef. This isn’t Covid related, it’s because she bumped her head.
She tries to keep this a secret which isn’t easy.
She gets asked to come to Paris to come with some of the biggest names in the culinary world at a special event and she accepts.
Remi is not happy about this.
I went into this book with such high expectations after loving the first book. But I don’t remember disliking Remi in book one. Has he gotten worse? I’m sure his personality/attitude won’t bother everyone but it bothered me. My feelings towards Remi and his treatment of Sophie affected my enjoyment of this book. I can’t help that. Not every love interest is for every reader and apparently Remi is not for me. Which was unfortunate cause I’m absolutely sure I would have enjoyed this book more if I didn’t keep getting frustrated with Remi.
Maybe I get too into a story and the characters start to feel real. I credit an author when they make a character feel real. But that means sometimes I get frustrated with a character and it affects my overall enjoyment of the book.
