Stella used to travel extensively as a flight attendant before she met Adam. However, Stella goes from overjoyed to devastated when Adam goes missing after an explosion at a cafe. Stella is at first hopeful that Adam survived, but then evidence is found that leads authorities to believe Adam is dead.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although they seem like the perfect couple, it is soon revealed that Stella and Adam were both keeping dangerous secrets from each other. Stella can&#8217;t believe some of the things being said about her beloved husband and she refuses to leave Paris until she gets to the truth.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book is twisty and suspenseful with a fun international setting. Even though I was interested in the story, I had a hard time connecting with either Stella or Adam. We didn&#8217;t get to see enough of Adam&#8217;s thoughts, and Stella&#8217;s choices were often questionable. It was difficult reconciling the Stella from her past and the current Stella, but that may have been the author\u2019s intention!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the plot kept me interested since I wasn&#8217;t really sure if Adam had acted with good or bad intentions, and the situations Stella found herself in were definitely engaging. You may have to suspend disbelief at times, but I enjoyed the story and the satisfying ending.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Christine<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text

Reeling from this news, Stella is determined not to leave Paris until she has the full story. Was Adam a random victim or the target of the explosion? And why is someone following her through the streets of Paris?<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>An irresistible, fast-paced read set in some of Europe\u2019s most inviting locales,\u00a0The Paris Widow\u00a0explores how sinister secrets of the past stay with us\u2014no matter how far we travel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-recommends-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 11, 2024<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Harlequin\u00a0<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Parker Row<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $12.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Stella<\/strong> and Adam Knox are having the time of their lives in Paris as part of a long European vacation. Stella used to travel extensively as a flight attendant before she met Adam. However, Stella goes from overjoyed to devastated when Adam goes missing after an explosion at a cafe. Stella is at first hopeful that Adam survived, but then evidence is found that leads authorities to believe Adam is dead.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although they seem like the perfect couple, it is soon revealed that Stella and Adam were both keeping dangerous secrets from each other. Stella can't believe some of the things being said about her beloved husband and she refuses to leave Paris until she gets to the truth.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book is twisty and suspenseful with a fun international setting. Even though I was interested in the story, I had a hard time connecting with either Stella or Adam. We didn't get to see enough of Adam's thoughts, and Stella's choices were often questionable. It was difficult reconciling the Stella from her past and the current Stella, but that may have been the author\u2019s intention!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the plot kept me interested since I wasn't really sure if Adam had acted with good or bad intentions, and the situations Stella found herself in were definitely engaging. You may have to suspend disbelief at times, but I enjoyed the story and the satisfying ending.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Christine<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xVPio8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/4eQ5WWV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-paris-widow-kimberly-belle\/1144012778?ean=9780369746894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-paris-widow-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Kimberly_Belle_The_Paris_Widow?id=vSLUEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31310"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31318,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31310\/revisions\/31318"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
