BLURB:
When Anthony Mercer walked into Au cœur du terroir, he was looking for good food and a pleasant evening spent with a friend. He never expected to meet—and sleep with—Paul Delescluse, a waiter at the restaurant. After spending a magical week together in Paris, Anthony must return to his life in North Carolina, while Paul remains in France.
Despite the distance and the lack of promises between them—Paul wants sex, not a relationship—Paul and Anthony forge a solid friendship. Then Anthony’s job takes him back to Paris, this time to stay. Paul is thrilled to have him back, but Anthony has a harder choice: be another of Paul’s conquests or fight for the relationship he knows they could have, if only Paul would believe it.
REVIEW:
This book was not my cup of tea at all. I can honestly say that I disliked way more than I liked with this story. I think my biggest issue was the characters. They were not likeable. Like at all…especially Anthony, ugh. Anthony and his nonstop inner dialogue and his crazy high expectations…drove me nuts. Needless to say, I didn’t like this story.
Anthony Mercer loves everything French. Luckily his employer does business in Paris so he’s able to visit from time to time. On his current trip he stops at a family owned restaurant where he meets Paul.
Paul’s job as a waiter affords him the opportunity to meet lots of men. He likes it that way. He doesn’t want attachment. He wants to give and receive pleasure with no commitment.
That’s why his feelings for Anthony surprise him. He seems to want to spend all his free time with Anthony. Paul doesn’t want to acknowledge what these feelings mean. He knows Anthony is only in Paris for a short time so he chooses to live in the moment.
Like I mentioned my biggest issue were the characters. I absolutely felt no connection at all to Paul or Anthony. Anthony for the most part was downright unlikeable. This book is also very slow moving to the point of being boring. I don’t need explosions or mystery in my stories but this one had no real excitement to it.
Overall, this book was just ok for me. I had no issues with the writing it was just the telling of the story that left me feeling blah.
