Book Review: Hidden in Paris

A couple months ago I used my Kindle gift cards to stock up on some good reads, some regular authors I always read but also a couple new ones. I felt like I was always reading the same thing and wanted to find a new book or author to broaden my reading. One of the books that I bought and just finished was Hidden in Paris by Corine Gantz. I was a little skeptical of the book when I first started reading it because I had no idea where the book was going to take me but the more I read it the more I fell into the story of the 3 women that made the book great. In the end all three women rediscovered themselves in a chaotic house in Paris. All three women were so different but so the same in that they were all lost and with the help of each other they ended in happiness and in love. It is definitely chic-lit but I recommend it to you ladies for something that maybe out of your norm. I usually ready murder/mystery/vampire novels not things like this but I was pleasantly surprised and plan on researching this author a bit more and hopefully she has a few other books out that I will enjoy.

This is the Amazon synopsis.

Three women running away from their lives become unlikely friends in a beautiful house in the heart of Paris. Lost in France, a country she mistrusts, among French people she hardly understands, Annie has trouble venturing away from home since the death of her husband. And since home happens to be a small jewel of a house nestled in the heart of Paris, why would she ever want to? But when bankruptcy threatens her beloved house, her one anchor in life, Annie has no choice but to find renters, and quick. Leave it to someone socially phobic to phrase a want ad in all the wrong ways. With shimmering promises of ‘Starting over in Paris’ –– a concept she has no intention of applying to her own life––Annie attracts tenants with the kind of baggage that doesn’t fit in suitcases. A long-legged, cool-headed ex model (everything Annie is not) on the run from her abusive husband, a frail young woman harboring a possible death wish, a mysterious French artist, and an infuriating blue-blooded French man soon threaten Annie’s way of life in ways she never anticipated. But when Annie finds herself reluctantly yet actively engaged in the rescue of her tenants, she discovers that she might just save herself in the process.
