A sophisticated and witty romantic comedy set in the city of love, Paris.
‘Light, crisp and very enjoyable’- Cornflower Books
Englishwoman Clio lives in Paris.
Twice-divorced and unlucky in love, what she craves now is stability for her son Alex, her raison d'être.
Clio shares custody of Alex with Harry, her first gorgeous but unfaithful husband.
It’s an amicable arrangement but with a deep-seated fear that Harry will steal Alex away if she can’t provide a proper home, she looks to take her relationship with Philippe, her handsome cultured French lover, to the next level.
The path to security sounds simple, but with his perfectionist ways, a terrifying mother, and his divorce still pending, Phillippe, the height of French respectability, is not such a safe bet after all.
While his mother Camille sees Clio as a penniless scarlet woman, Clio make’s an ally out of rich old Aunt Isabelle who loves teasing her rigid sister Camille.
Hard-up Clio has two jobs. She writes travel articles for an American magazine and she is also a part-time tour guide.
While weighing up her romantic options, new clients flood into the tourist office; a difficult American couple and a hunky Canadian, Joe Dryden, an international businessman, stroll in.
A sudden flash of mutual attraction stops Clio in her tracks but she keeps Joe at arms’ length because she doesn’t play away from home.
When Clio is sacked as tour guide, Joe can’t help but return for private tours of Paris and he seems to be winning Clio’s heart despite her misgivings.
Can she see a future for herself and Alex with a wandering Canadian?
She knows she can’t ditch a perfectly good relationship at her age and stage in life …
But when Philippe proposes, Clio prevaricates.
When Joe offers a proposition of another kind, should Clio take it?
Will Clio mix business with pleasure or will she hold onto her morals?
Set in Paris, the city of love, Paris Imperfect will take you on a whirlwind tour of the French capital.
With splashes of Parisian culture and a lovely French feel, this book is a must read.
