The French Mis-Connection by Vicki Hilton

4.0

I don't know it that was the goal, but this story reminds me of a fairy tale retelling. In this case  'Cinderella'. If it was, it was perfectly achieved. If it wasn't it was perfdct as well. 😀

Iris is traveling through Europe with her best friend after a breakup. Luc is a billionaire that must settle down and marry to mantain his heirdom. 

After a kind of funny, and lets say, wet meet cute, Iris believes she is about to lose her temporary job. After all, she broke so many rules in that moment.. but we find that Luc doesn't think about it that way. And desperate times call for desperate measures, so in a moment of panic Luc tells he already has a fianceé: Iris. 

After this, they have to perfect their lie so they try to spend time together to get to know one another. In this time, Iris realises that he is not all that grumpy, and he is quite considerate and kind. Luc gets to know the real Iris and finds her funny, interesting and beautiful. 

The lie spreads and things get tricky when they accept their feelings for each other.. after all, they've been deceiving everyone. Can two people love each other and be together when they belong in different worlds? How can they overcome such obstacles? 

Is love truly enough?

I really liked this story and book. There were several moments that made me laugh out loud at their banter, the moments created and the character interactions. I really like the author's sense of humor. 

It was nice seeing some down to earth moments and even some problems based on their different upbringing.. it made the book feel more real.

But at the same time that fire and consumption between them made me eager for them to be together and say 'screw it', and just go for it!

Their chemistry was almost palpable and got through the pages with so much intensity, that was overwelming.

I don't know if there are more books in this world planned, but Chloe and Esme deserved their stories to be told too! 🤞
