Wanderlust by Lauren Blakely
3.0
“Paris is a good place for a new life. I believe Paris is where you go to reinvent yourself.”
This was just a bit of fun on audio during my workouts to feed my wanderlust. I absolutely loved going on a tour of Paris in this story and that the focus was not on the usual touristy locations but rather the quiet cobblestone streets, open air flower markets, the cafe on the corner with fresh croissants, the chocolatier showcasing artful and delectable treats, and apartments with pink doors. I was transported to the sites, sounds and scents of the city and what it would be like to live and work in Paris everyday including the challenges of learning the language. This is also a story of a friendship that grows into love.
Oh, and the other draw for me was the male narrator - Richard Armitrage, the brooding Englishman John Thornton from North and South, The Hobbit movie trilogy and more recently starred in the NetFlix series, The Stranger.
Full disclosure: This does have open door intimate scenes.
