Heather R. (dolleygurl) -
Genre: Romance
The course of life can be changed in just a few short days. This is exactly what happens in Five Days in Paris. Peter is a well to do businessman in the pharmaceutical world. While on a trip to Paris for testing of their new drug Peter meets a woman, Olivia, whom he finds very intriguing. Peter is married and has a great family (or so he thinks); his father-in-law owns the company that he works for. Olivia is the wife of a high-reaching politician. Both of them are vastly unhappy. In the five days that Peter is in Paris he comes to some shocking revelations about his life, with the help of Olivia. How will his life changeor remain the samewhen he returns home?
This was another one of my audio book endeavors. The exposition of the book was very, very long. I felt like it dragged on describing Peters background and early life experiences. There really was no action that occurred. This description would end up being important to the main plot of the story but I almost turned it off because it was quite boring. Once the main part of the story was reached, I enjoyed the story of Peter and Olivia. It is not your typical romance, quite unconventional. I could see the ending coming a mile away but thought that it was very well played out.
Im not sure that this author is my cup-of-tea but my first experience was ok.
3.5 out of 5 stars (the writing was good but a little less exciting than I usually look for)
