Point Us to Paris (Summer Flings, Book 3)
￥9.71
"If it was possible to give Point Us to Paris more than a five star rating, I would, because it's definitely my favourite of the three so far." Reviewed the Book "So far I'm really enjoying this series" Lost to Books "Okay so I don't like Paris but I did really like this book. I think that's more to do with Aimée's writing and the characters that she has created more than the city itself though... This installment to me felt shorter than the others, or maybe it's the fact that I'm now so addicted to the series that I'm reading them too fast."

" ~ Reviewed the Book "There was more emotion in this instalment and I dislike the author for leaving it on such a cliffhanger! It's just mean and makes me want to start the next one even though it's 1am. :-) All I can hope is I get the ending I'm looking for in the final book, which I'm both sad and excited to start." ~ Lost to Books "Hooray, the sixth installment of the summer flings series is here, and an opportunity to check in with Ciara, Gem and Elle and see what they are up to as they arrive in Italy.
