If there's one dress that could make Linda Stone envision the exciting life of her dreams, it's her mother's vintage 1950s Parisian showgirl gown. This dress and the life it bespeaks will take Linda beyond Hartford, Connecticut, and onto the first risky steps of her own scandalous, tantalizing, and oh-so-provocative journey-in Paris, France.

Beautiful & Self-Enlightening...the Classic Tale of Self-Discovery -- with a Twist,
By Anne Jensen "Book Lover" (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Dance In Paris (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel has a casual and very easy flow to it, which only serves to enwrap the reader even further into its depths. I didn't want it to end; the ending was intense and dramatic -- perfect. Both romantic and bitter-sweet. You feel as if you're in Lindy Stone's shoes and begin to contemplate your own being. This is one novel that I'll be rereading a number of times!

Didn't Want it To End........,
By Terri DuLong "Author of SPINNING FORWARD rele... (Cedar Key, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: One Dance In Paris (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, so yes, I'm a confirmed Francophile and yes, I'm originally from the Boston area (the main character is from Somerville, Mass.)....so it could be said that might be two reasons why I ABSOLUTELY loved this book! But it was much more than that.
The story grabbed me from the first page and never let go. When I got to the end, I just hated that it was over. Written with excellent prose and lots of humor, the character development was superb. I felt like I was right there behind Lindy's shoulder during her entire journey to Vegas and then on to Paris. But the plot....I thought it was excellent. Very clever and it moved along at a great pace. The characters and plot both were extremely believable. I really would have given this book a TEN. It's been ages since I enjoyed a story so much, so therefore, I've just ordered Holden's debut novel, A Dangerous Dress. If you're a Francophile or not....I highly recommend this one!
