Note to self: don’t sleep with your flatmate after a curry and three bottles of wine… especially if he’s secretly in love with you and wants you to meet his mum.
Cat Parsons is on the run. She doesn’t do relationships. After ten years of singlehood even the hint of the ‘L’ word is enough to get Cat packing her bags and booking herself onto a two-week holiday.
A European bus tour feels like a stroke of genius to dodge awkward conversations at home. But little does Cat realise that the first stop will be Paris, the city of love itself.
Joined by new friends, Cat has got two weeks, eight countries and a hell of a lot of wine ahead of her. As they discover hidden treasures and the camaraderie of life on the road, will Cat find a new way of looking at love?
Discover the beauty of Europe’s most romantic cities in this uplifting and laugh-out-loud novel for fans of Samantha Parks, Alex Brown and Mandy Baggot.
About the author
I’m a writer, traveller and hopeful romantic with a lengthy bucket list. I love exploring new places, outdoor adventures, and eating and drinking like a local when I travel, and many of my travel adventures have found homes in my novels. I’m also an avid reader, a film buff, a wine lover and a coffee snob.
My first novel, a romantic comedy set in Greece and inspired by my real-life love story, was published in June 2019 by One More Chapter (HarperCollins). Excitingly, in 2020 there will two follow ups to One Summer in Santorini. That Night in Paris in March, and That Summer in Love in June. Readers can also expect a stand-alone Christmas novel in October.
I am repped by Lina Langlee of the Kate Nash Literary Agency.

My Review
From the title, you might be forgiven for thinking this is a romance set in Paris. What you get, however, is a bus tour around Europe with a cast of unforgettable characters. I must say, I enjoyed Cat's developing relationships with her bus mates just as much as that with the delicious Jean-Luc.
This is just the right pick-me-up for our times and I enjoyed visiting various cities vicariously, some I know well and miss terribly, others I look forward to visiting perhaps one day. One thing is for sure, after seeing the tacky accommodation I won't be going on a bus tour though.
Funny, easy to read and pure escapism - add this one to your happy list.
