Reviews for Paris Kiss
"Flows from the page like a piece of art." A touching tale of friendship, love and betrayal set against a colourful backdrop of the Paris art world. Compelling and seductive… a rather lovely tale Jessie's adventures as a woman artist in 1880s Paris completely captivated me. A wonderful story."
