Sebastian Darcy and Diane Petit's story
A story of a fake romance agreement between two people who kinda hate to love each other.
Its funny and comical about what goes on between the two, Until they relize they may just love each other, . . or is that fake too,
Diane Petit is the bane of Sebastian Darcy's existence, Ever since that stunt she pulled at a lavish party he attended, But now he has a plan to expose a nemesis that he believes is after him, But to do so he needs Diane to come into the picture and play the dutiful loving girlfriend, then his wife all of which will be fake but necessary in making people believe it's true.
He wants to find out who is trying to destroy the Darcy name Diane Petit has plans of her own, She wants to destroy Sebastian Darcy and his company for what they have done to her father, And the only way she can see getting anything done is to play along with Sebastian's plan, . . who will win with this game of cat and mouse As a mega fan of "Pride and Prejudice", Mr, Darcy, France, and Frenchmen, I had to check out The Darcy Brothers series from Alix Nichols, Not to mention being married to my own Sebastien a treasure I picked up while working as an English teaching assistant in Amiens back in.
"Find You in Paris" was a total hoot! Romantic comedy at its finest, And I appreciate that the author really knows the country and customs, It was no surprise to learn in her bio she lives there,
I can't wait to read about the next Darcy brother, Raphael,
Mais oui! This a revision of my original review, I recently reread this book after buying this new boxed set called the Darcy Brothers, I really enjoyed my experience, Nichols draws her inspiration from pride and prejudice and says as much, This is much more modern and definitely not the innocent characters you expect in Austens version, The book opens with a prejudiced Diane who believes all rich men are crooks and low life forms, One in particular.
d'Arcy is the family name currently altered by the previous count Sebastian Darcy, He is a serious man who does not allow himself to feel, I really wish the author would have spent more time in his thoughts as to why he felt as he did, As previously stated the book jumps between chapters, So while one chapter ends with Diane planning on crashing an important reception for Sebastian, The next chapter skipsmonths ahead from the cake filled puss that belonged to Darcy after Diane confronts him, This to me was a missed opportunity, First impressions and glances are important to me so to have it recapped by Darcy vaguely was a bit of a disappointment for me and it did effect my overall rating.
There are other reviews that explain the jest of the relationship between Sebastian and Diane so you can rely on them for a better understanding but just say I enjoyed the slow build up between the two.
I just craved more detailing between them, Intimate scenes were hot but I wanted more of an inside take on their thoughts, There are some but it just needed a bit more, She almost had it and it honestly still was good but Sebastian insults Diane by saying he wants to alter their previous contract by continuing seeing her.
It's not the exact wording but when Diane asks if he meant to continue dating her his words were, I don't want to get your hopes up.
" He made it clear he wasn't ready for it to end but further says she's not his type,
In the next chapter he's confessing his undying love, While I see where the author was going with
it, I just feel a little bit of inner dialog from Sebastian or some other moments would have made it flow more natural.
I know the author was trying to show it was almost losing her that made him realize how he felt, but even that was not there.
It was all recapped. We do not see those fearful days Darcy experienced thinking Diane had left him or worse, I also wish there had been an epilogue but I think that will fix itself in the nextbooks in the boxed set.
The other very big question is what happened with the letter Diane found from Sabastian's Mom to his "dad" Even with some of the issues I loved the couple and feel with time and more experience the author can get astar review.
A weak start, but improves, I didn't see the twist at the end coming, An alternative cover edition can be found sitelinkhere,
True spite, Fake marriage. Real romance.
If theres one man that fledgling art photographer Diane Petit really, really, actively hates, its fragrance mogul Sebastian Darcy who stole her fathers companyand wrecked the mans health in the process.
But the arrogant SOB had better brace himself because Diane has vowed revenge,
And revenge she will have,
Find You in Paris is a standalone contemporary romance inspired by Pride and Prejudice, Lots of laughs and steamy scenes, a touch of cozy mystery and a healthy dose of alpha billionaire romance, No cliffhangers.
WARNING: Just like in Pride and Prejudice, expect to find one rich, brooding and handsome Mr.
Darcy and one feisty smalltown girl who can't stand him, Unlike Pride and Prejudice, this book also contains artful nude photos of said Mr, Darcy and nights of wild passion in Paris, Fun story, Pride and prejudice inspired characters, some bits and pieces are pretty similar to the original by Austen, But the story line is completely original, its set in France for the most part and the characters are funny and can see how their story develops over time.
Theres lots of events that are skipped through the book that I found a little annoying and it made the story feel somewhat incomplete.
I can't really remember why I wanted to read this book, I don't see a review by friends whose reviews usually steer me to read the books they have but since I borrowed this one from Kindle Unlimited it was not a worry as to investment of money and in
the end also of time.
It was a fairly quick read,
The book is, as said by others, a modern takeoff of PampP, although that is somewhat of a stretch, You have to be very familiar with PampP to pick up on similarities, Although there is one direct reference as Sebastian's chateau comes into view, Diane relates knowing how Elizabeth must have felt when she first viewed Pemberley.
Diane is so much more snarky with her comments, Indeed, she is out for revenge, . . everlasting and crippling revenge. The man has ruined and almost killed her dear papa, And then he seems to give her the gift of making that a reality when he contracts with her to gain his own revenge on some anonymous person who has wreaked some havoc in Sebastian's life and who seems to be waiting to deliver the next blow.
It becomes a mystery even as Diane finds what she needs to "sink" his world,
So if you love stories about marriages of convenience, get to it, If you love reading sarcastic comments, or how opposites attract, of views or prejudices about the differences in class levels or how about the hot nude photo shoots Diane has one opportunity to take of Sebastian Darcy while struggling NOT to fall into bed with him, well, you might just enjoy this book.
It is a stand alone but there will be more coming as the second Darcy brother is written about, .
