Synopsis:
For years, bookstore owner, Émile Capet, lived his life simply… carefully guided by a family curse. Happy in his book world.
With the request for a certain rare book, he begins to question why someone would be fascinated by paved stones. How could they be considered romantic? To him, they were often dangerous. His conclusion is confirmed when he finds himself rescuing a beautiful woman sprawled out on a cobblestone sidewalk.
However, this emotionally guarded hero may change his opinion and his lifestyle once he gets to know the injured woman who just so happens to possess a special edition of the much sought after Romancing the Cobblestone book.
Avril Paulson, a book collector, owns an online book business which allows her to experience life as, what she calls, a book gypsy. She hasn’t lived in one location for several years, loving the thrill of new adventures. Staying at a client’s apartment in Paris, she finds herself being rescued by a gorgeous Frenchman after tumbling over cobblestones.
Ironically, the two begin an awkward dance of the unknown, contemplating the same question… Cobblestone: dangerous or romantic
Could it be that it is a little bit of both?

Beautiful, Sensual, and So Very French!
Fifi Flowers’ Falling in Paris takes you on a journey that is Oh so romantic and absolument magnifique! I love both of the previous books in her Encounters series but I do believe this is by far my favorite. Such gorgeously descriptive writing! I felt the cobblestones under my feet, smelled the fragrance of coffee and freshly baked baguettes, and even imagined myself sipping wine at an outdoor cafe as this delicious story unfolds. And what a story! The discovery of a rare book about a long ago, forbidden love is the impetus for this modern day romance.I adored Avril. She has my dream job; operating an online book business, jetting off to various cities searching for antique books for her clientele of bookshops, antique stores, and private collectors. She embraces every aspect of her job, especially the travel. Most especially spending time in seductive, romantic Paris. It is so fitting that Avril’s wardrobe consists entirely of vintage chic. She and Émile are the perfect match! The sexy, inscrutable, and gorgeous bookshop owner also has a penchant for vintage attire, which dials up his sex appeal to scorching hot. When Émile rescues Avril from a tumble on the cobblestones, their chance encounter leads to intensely erotic dates where Avril’s fantasies are fulfilled.
Beautifully choreographed and deeply sensual, Falling in Paris is a decadent feast of a romance with its elegant writing, enchanting characters, and captivating story. Avril and Émile will steal your heart and have you dreaming of your own trip to Paris.
