A night lost in Paris finds two hearts changed—forever.
Sent to Paris on business, Nigel Warren doesn’t quite
understand why his colleagues’ eyes twinkle as they tell him to meet them at a
local night spot.
When he discovers it’s a drag cabaret and his acquaintances
aren’t there, he realizes he’s the butt of a joke. Yet he finds himself quite
undone by a singer dressed in an elegant gown, crooning a spellbinding ballad.
It’s not unusual for Jay, a former Londoner, to bring a new
“friend” home from the cabaret, but he’s never had a guest quite like Nigel,
whose straitlaced manner hides an unexpected passionate streak.
One romantic night on a rooftop under starry skies, followed
by an afternoon enjoying the excitement of the 1901 Paris Exposition, bonds
these opposites in a way neither can forget—even after they part.
Their spark reignites when Jay comes to London, but he’s not
sure he can go back to hiding his true self, not even for the sake of love…unless
Nigel is willing to shed his cloak of staid respectability and take a leap of
faith.

Bonnie Dee and Summer Devon have written another delightful, feel-good sexy romance, confirming once again why they are an auto-buy for me. I highly recommend this writing team, their Bohemian, and their Banker; they’ll leave you smiling for the rest of your day.

Though a good portion of this book is devoted to sensuality, the characters felt fully developed... We get to see the people under their facades—be they bland business
suits and dolled-up frocks—and that gives this character-driven tale the
required depth, purpose and meaning. The message of learning to love
another as well as yourself continues to be relevant to this day.
Recommended read.

What a delicious, delightful historical read! This is the first
historical I have read by this writing duo but I will be sure to pick up
their other works!
I could feel the atmosphere of time and place. Both characters radiated their station and yet were wholly themselves....Even if historical isn’t necessarily your thing, this is a great story about compromise and love. Give it a try!

The descriptions of everything from the food
to the dresses to the smells to the art, you felt like you were walking down
those streets with Nigel and Jay...So if you are planning to start right before
bed, don’t. Or you may be lost and have to re-read.
Or stay up until 3AM.

This has got to be my favorite book by Bonnie Dee and Summer Devon.. . . I don’t know if it was the time-frame (turn of
the 20th century) or just the characters themselves, but I was hooked on
this story from the moment I started reading.
