4.0 out of 5 stars An Unusual "Ménage à Trois" in Paris
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 4 September 2012

"Hidden in Paris" begins by introducing the reader to three separate characters and their troubled lives.They come together when one of the characters, Annie who lives in Paris, advertises rooms to rent in her house in order to solve her financial problems and the other characters respond to the advertisement. Under the one roof their lives come together and inevitably their problems too. The story of how they develop strong relationships and enrich each others lives is an enjoyable read. As the story moves to its conclusion, the reader is taken on an exciting ride to discover what will finally happen to each of the characters;all of them having come so far within the pages of the novel. The ending is not neatly wound up for each character, to the author's credit, but the main character who has struggled from the first pages, finds the contentment she was seeking. I thoroughly enjoyed "Hidden in Paris" and for me the strengths of the work lie in its well developed and contrasting characters and the concluding chapters which with suspense and tension skilfully bring the crises of the story together. I also enjoyed the well drawn dialogue between characters. The setting of Paris enhances the story for us Francophiles and adds another enjoyable dimension. A most enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars a fun and easy read
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 12 February 2013

I havent read a novel in a while and dont really like to waste time reading a lot of the "best sellers" that are around at the moment. But this was a nice easy read about a group of diverse (albeit a bit predictable and stereotyped) people who end up living together in Paris. I really did enjoy the feel good factor of the whole thing and particularly as it was set in Paris and had a nice connection with the city. There was a lot of talk of cooking and food in it although i cant say that was a feature that made it appealing as far as i am concerned - not because i dont care for food but because it wasnt particularly well described. There was some sense with other reviewers and indeed with the author herself that the food component had some special merit. All I would say is dont read it thinking you are going to be transported on a gastronomic epic - it definitely isnt that. So, all in all a pleasant read - good night time or beach reading material thatt you dont have to dissect after every sentence to make meaning of.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spoilers

I liked the book right up until the end. But when Lola's husband Mark goes from being abusive to finally getting help and then they live happily ever after is sooo unrealistic. This is not how an abusive relationship normally ends. It is very rare for an abusive person to seek help and actually get better. They can't just go to anger management and BAM! they are healed. As someone who is a survivor of an abusive relationship- it's insulting. And it's much much deeper and more involved than the trite description in the book. If you are going to write about abusive relationships- tell the real story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book to Curl Up With!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 29 June 2014

I enjoyed "Hidden in Paris" from the stand point that I was always eager to 'get back to it.' I was surprised that one of the characters met his demise so early on, but that would mean Annie's story would have taken a different turn. I did find it a little daunting that Annie could do so much of the remodeling herself, however I did know a woman like Annie who remodeled her entire kitchen, herself, it can be done---unusual but possible.

I didn't particularly like the Kids language. I realize today's youngsters use language unheard of in an earlier time, or at least you didn't hear it from them in public. Today it's a different story, it's common, and that's really too bad.

This is a good read, I recommend it. No vulgarity, no steamy sex--rare these days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good stuff

I had read the "Hidden in Paris Cookbook" before the novel and will reread it now that I've finished the book. I liked the premise and meeting the people who eventually end up in Annie's home, and of course, the descriptive passages of food and scenery are delicious. Overall, I enjoyed the story and I was ready to pack my bags and ask Annie to take me in until she began to get on my nerves toward the end of the book. She became overly pushy and mean, and then in a second, sweet and nice. The typos didn't bother me nor did they detract from the story - the author explains that it is self-published...however, one can still hire an editor. I think it's a good idea to read the novel first; then the cook book. (I've been eating French bread and cheese to stay in the Parisian mode.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Into my kindle and WHAM!

I got your book into my kindle and wham! i began reading it and found myself completely engrossed in the lives of these women. I loved it! I was taken in by the characters and what happened to them. I read a LOT of books, not novels though, yet i found your characters encroaching into my life. I really enjoyed the read. The characters lingered with me, I wondered about them & wanted to return swiftly to them. I cared about them. I think this is a perfect Movie Book. How wonderful would this be shot in Paris/Brittany, with sexy people, rambunctious kids in a fabulous home -a feel good movie with some down and dirty merde along the way to an upbeat ending? Ahhhhh. A movie i'd like to see after reading your book!
Congratulations!!! What a purrrrrrrrrfect summer read....

Enjoyable book, with a few twist & turns. Got to know characters in depth. The Ending was almost too predictable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 6 April 2014

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the fact that the book delved into many subjects that women today can relate to:

Death of a spouse
Infidelity
Eating disorders
Addiction
Starting Over
Facing fears and overcoming them
Mother/daughter issues

This is a book club selection that I would not have known about if not for my book club member. I would definitely like to read other books by this author. Very entertaining and one that many women can relate to. I would recommend this to my friends who are not in the book club. The only thing I felt annoying was the French phrases that I could not understand since I don't speak French.
