Summary: When Hannah and her boyfriend, Simon, set out to Amsterdam, they’re confident that they’ll make it to his sister’s wedding in time. However, unbeknownst to them, their train is scheduled to divide in the middle of the night. And when it does, half of it continues the route to Amsterdam. And the other half—the one with Hannah in it—heads three hundred miles away, to Paris. Left without her belongings or hope of reuniting with Simon, Hannah has no choice but to spend the day in Paris before the next train out. Worse than being stranded in a foreign city alone? Being stuck with Léo, the handsome but infuriating Frenchman who blames Hannah for his own unwanted delay. The series of mishaps that sends them traipsing through the City of Light is only further proof that Hannah’s day has gone from bad to worse. But as she takes in the glorious sights of the city—and spends more time with Léo—Hannah discovers that the unexpected detour might actually be leading her to the life she was always meant to live . . . ~amazon.com
Review: I don’t read romance novels because I want mystery to the ending; I read them to get lost in the story of 2 people figuring out that they are better together than apart. Hannah is a worry-wart and a little bit forgetful so he boyfriend pretty much handles everything for them. So when she falls asleep on a train to Amsterdam for his sisters wedding and wakes up in Paris with limited belongings she has to rely on a stranger, Leo to help her out. Leo pulls Hannah out of her comfort zone the entire day they are together. Hannah’s defensives are up but then she softens up as the day goes on. I highly enjoyed this novel and having never been to Paris I enjoyed the tour that Leo took Hannah on. I’ve put a few things on my sightseeing list.
The dialogue is on point and witty but yet there's something about the two of them that gravitate to each other. Throughout the day as things are revealed by both their energy is hard to deny; especially when others see it.
I was happy that Hannah actually saw her worth in a relationship instead of being coddled and reprimanded by Simon. Leo finally find someone who might be worth his time and attention.
If you are looking for a day trip to Paris, then I highly recommended The Paris Connection.
