Montmartre Stairs: A Paris Love Story, by Douglas Warren, came to me in the usual way, in exchange for an honest review.
This was a very different read for me as I don't usually review straight romance stories. But I'll admit, I really enjoyed this book. It took me a while to get past the feeling that something paranormal was about to happen. It is a straight forward whirlwind romance, the problems the lovers face are those of the real world only. Montmartre Stairs turned out to be a pleasant change from the darker book that I usually read.
Author Douglas Warren has not changed me into a big fan of the romance genre, but, he has shown me that an enjoyable story can be presented that is just a nice happy story. Of course there is some conflict and uncertainty to be overcome. There are good guys and bad guys, as well as personal agendas to deal with. Perhaps even more important than the main love story for me was the personal evolution of the main male character.
Though I can in no way claim any expertise when it comes to the romance genre, I can certainly claim Montmartre Stairs: A Paris Love Story is a very good book. I enjoyed it and believe true fans of the genre will as well. Enjoy!
Mike
