While stars gaze down by Lewis Cox

Set in Paris in the sixties. A story of love, romance, past betrayal and how things may not always be as they seem.

A well written book.

It’s pace is very like it has been written in this time and flow is just right for that time line. Alongside Beautifully described scenery you could be there.

Ah romance in the city of love! I am very much into European local romances currently, especially WW2 era. This romance comes about 15 years later, but it was still a great read. Paris and Parisian society, love, betrayal and romance. This is definitely a book to get lost in for a period of time! The writing was perfect as was the flow. All in all a definite recommend from this reader!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by NetGalley.

WHILE STARS GAZE DOWN by LEWIS COX is a romance novel which takes place in Paris and the beautiful French countryside. The characters are delightful and the book has an "old world" charm. It is an enjoyable read and one I recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Sapere Books. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for an early copy.
