2.0 out of 5 stars allison, July 26, 2006

This review is from: French Kiss (Paperback)

I have to agree with the other two people who reviewed the book that there was some sexy stuff going on throughout the book. I am a big fan of Susan Johnson and I just couldn't get into this book. I felt like there were many things mentioned in the book that you thought would hold some real significance later on but those things just ended up as loose ends never being mentioned again. I was truly disappointed with the ending of this story. Compared to other Johnson books this one just seemed choppy and not well put together. I wish I could praise it but I just can't.

This review is from: French Kiss (Paperback)

I read this book and kept hoping that the main characters would fall in love! Well, they certainly fell into bed but I struggled to find the romance. The traditional end seemed a last minute add on. I really didn't get the impression that they loved one another in the true romance novel all-encompassing, gut wrenching way. Maybe I'm way off here, I guess you'll have to read it for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars fine heated erotic romantic suspense, June 7, 2006

This review is from: French Kiss (Paperback)

In Southern California successful wealthy record producer Johnny Patrick would do anything for his beloved nine years old daughter Jordi. Thus he hires architect Nicole Lesdaux to design a tree house for his adored child. Nicole finds herself attracted to her client and his preconscious offspring.

However, when Johnny's former wife drug addict Lisa on a whim takes their daughter to Paris, he panics as he knows her friends at best are not good for his little darling and she is unstable. He enlists his sexy architect who speaks a few more words of French to accompany him across the Atlantic to retrieve Jordi. Shocking herself by breaking the golden rule of never mixing business with pleasure, Nicole agrees to go to France with Johnny. In Europe the architect and the music mogul begin to fall in love, but first must rescue a preadolescent child whose mother has placed her in danger from her so-called predatory friends.

Though some will wonder why Nicole as he could have easily hired an interpreter who spoke fluent French, this is a fine heated erotic romantic suspense with the emphasis on the erotica. Profanity is overused and feels more like shock therapy. However, the lead couple is a solid pair and Jordi is a precocious youngster in trouble because of her mother's terrible judgment especially in her choice of friends. Susan Johnson keeps the heat beyond boiling as Johnny and Nicole share much more than just a FRENCH KISS.
