One Week in Paris by Roya Carmen
5.0

This story can be read as a standalone, but the entire series is amazing so I highly recommend starting at book one.

Kayla’s story may be my favorite one of the three so far. Kayla and Oscar have been friends with benefits for years. Kayla is afraid being in a committed relationship after her father walked out on her and her mom. She doesn’t want to experience any of the pain and hurt. Oscar will take whatever he can get from Kayla. These two have formed a bond with each other, they have shared things with each other that they haven’t even told their friends. When they go to Paris to celebrate the wedding of Kayla’s mother will that one week change everything in their relationship?

Kayla’s past was so heartbreaking to read about it. The struggles she experienced and how much pain and suffering she dealt with due to bully. I loved who incredibly strong she is for being the person she is today. Oscar seems like he had the perfect life, but that is only what he wants people to think. Oscar’s past broke my heart. These two could not be any more perfect for each other. They need each other to heal and to embrace the future together. Add in a beautiful setting of Paris and you have one fantastic, emotionally beautiful romance story.
