Angel Eyes by Ellie Jennings
5.0
Final Rating: 4.5/5⭐️
When Juliet Chandler, a successful attorney with a secret passion for writing romance novels, gets accepted to a creative writing program in Paris for the summer and meets Gabriel Beaumont, a dreamy Parisian artist who has sworn off relationships, she falls into a steamy summer romance that she knows she won’t recover from.
Ellie Jennings does a fantastic job of submersing you into Parisian culture throughout the novel. I have yet to visit, but with the detailed scenery and the atmosphere descriptions, I could feel the ambiance as if I were physically there (which is pretty much all you can hope for when reading a novel, am I right??). I personally loved the insta-love type of relationship that Gabriel and Juliet experienced. There was little to no angst involved, but I think we all dream for this connection in real life and I think Jennings did a great job of making us fall in love with Gabriel just as fast as Juliet did. Another favorite about their relationship is how they speak to each other (always encouraging each other’s passions, being soft and vulnerable with each other, with honesty), but this also becomes my pet peeve about this book. For as good as Gabriel and Juliet are with encouraging each other, they are equally as bad at communicating. I felt like MOST of their problems and miscommunications could have easily been avoided. But this in no way took away from my enjoyment of the book! I already know it is going to be a HIT and I feel so grateful to have had a first look (hehe - thanks Ellie
