St. Clair is an incredibly handsome, yet short, guy. He was born in America, but has a British accent, and a French name - Etienne. As Anna gets to know St. Clair more, she starts crushing on him, hard.
The only thing standing between their relationship is Ellie, St. Clair's girlfriend, whom, from what Anna hears, he is very serious with.
Anna and St. Clair have one year together in Paris. Is it enough time to find true love?
Okay, I will come right out and say that I wasn't that excited about Anna and the French Kiss the first time I picked it up. It looked like one of those books that would lack quality and a good story plot. But after reading a lot of emotionally hard hitting novels, I decided to sit down and read something light and fluffy.
Next thing I knew, I was addicted to the book. It may be that I'm a hard core romantic and was sucked in by the dreamy Etienne St. Clair, or maybe it was the surprising conflict that I wasn't expecting. In some ways, the book hit very close to home for me.
Another thing this book held that I just love in books - the romantic torture. You know when the relationship just isn't working out how you want it to work out, you get that twisted feeling in your gut, and you have the sudden urge to throw that book through the window? Yup. That was me at four A.M.
Surprisingly, I also found that this book got me thinking. It had strong themes and values, and it is especially stressed in the end. The book isn't steamy and full of romance the full way, either. You need to work to get there (in which case, I mean, read.)
I laughed, I cried, and in the end I gave it two thumbs up. I recommend this to anybody who loves a good romance!
