Thank you, NetGalley for this early access read. I enjoyed it a lot! I expected none of the twists and the book kept me reading more to find out how the story would unfold.

I would categorize this book as more of a mystery than thriller if I’m being honest.

Overall, give this book a try when it releases and hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did!

It was different than what I normally read which was a nice change!

Kimberly Belle didn’t disappoint with this book.
I couldn’t put it down. The story grabbed me instantly. Stella is a great main character and I rooted for her the whole book. Her husband Adam goes missing after an explosion at a cafe. She wastes no time in choosing to investigate on her own and trying to find him. She meets his people and has her own interesting back story that helps her along the way.

Such a good book!

This was so so good! It was a fun clever thriller! Had me guessing until the end !I had fun through out the whole book! Will read. more from the author.

I LOVED the Paris Widow! I was sucked in from the beginning because I love Paris but also fun being from Atlanta I could imagine Adam’s antique shop being on Miami Circle and there were a couple references to one of my old neighborhoods. Peachtree Park. Didn’t want to put this down and can’t to post about it on my book page when it comes out!

I agree with many of the previous reviewers… this was not Kimberley Belle’s best writing. I am typically a huge fan of her books and this one started off so strong but then… I’m not even sure what happened but halfway through it became a challenger me to stay interested. Maybe it’s because I didn’t really care for the characters? Maybe it just gave us too many characters to keep track of? Whatever the case, this was not great.

Thank you, NetGalley and Harlequin for this ARC.

I have always enjoyed Kimberly Belle's books so I was extremely excited to read this one. Sadly, this one was not for me. I really did try to like it but I couldn't connect to the characters or plot. Maybe this book just wasn't for me since I'm not really into action movies and this felt like an action movie/book to me. I would recommend this book as an adventure/action book and not so much as a psych thriller. I also can picture this book as a movie.

The Paris Widow grabbed me right at the start! A great story of love, deceit and an array of antiques, secrets, intrigue all in beautiful Paris. Such a fast passed story that starts right in the beginning. Stella and Adam, seemingly innocent and happy on this lovely trip are met with disaster, lies, and panic. Excellent story with unexpected twists and turns. Loved it! Thank you @NetGalley@ParkRow@KimberlyBelle@TheParisWidow

A fast paced thrilling and exciting read set in Paris and starts with a big bang. Secrets, mysteries, mayhem and the hunt for truth in the world of antiquities.

Give me a book set in multiple cities across Europe and I am a happy girl! Stella is trying to piece together the parts of her husband, Adam’s, life that he has omitted following a cafe bombing during their European vacation. But Stella has some secrets of her own. This was a great, fast paced read that included some minor timeline jumps and multiple POVs between Stella and Adam. I would have hoped for a little more character development of both Stella and Adam, but overall, I enjoyed the read!

When I read the summary for The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle, I got strong Charade(one of my favorite movies) vibes and I was excited to try it out!
The Paris Widow follows Stella Knox on an European trip with her husband, Adam. While in Paris, they split up and Stella grows worried when there's an explosion and she can't get a hold of Adam. She finds out that he was right by the site.of the explosion and she's desperate to find out if he's ok or not. While talking with the Parisian police, she discovers that Adam may have been the target for the bomb and possibly had a secret side business of dealing in stolen antiquities. Stella can't believe it and she is determined to find out what's truly going on and who her husband really is.
This book was pretty good! I found Stella to be a little dense and naive sometimes but still liked her character, the plot was interesting and kept me involved the whole time. It was definitely a fun read!

Thank you NetGalley and to the author for allowing me to read this early version. I loved it!

This sounded like an interesting read from the synopsis and it started out well. After that, I lost interest. I couldn't engage with the characters. Several things were going on that were unrealistic.

2.5 stars

This sounded like an interesting read, and it started out strong. Sadly, it went downhill quickly. I couldn't engage with the characters. The plot line was very predictable, and numerous points were unrealistic, even for fiction.

Stella and Adam are traveling through Europe when a bomb explodes in Paris. Now Adam is missing and Stella starts to realize he is not the man she thought she married. The Paris Widow is a cat and mouse chase through the streets of Paris and Stella won’t stop until she knows the truth.

This book groom me quite awhile to read and I struggled a bit with that. It was pretty good and I liked that it took place in Paris. There were a few little twists that I didn’t see coming. Overall 3 stars.

I've enjoyed Kimberly Belle's books in the past and was excited to read the Paris Widow. It is an action-packed thriller with lots of twists and turns. Belle does a great job of immersing the reader in the location, in this case, Paris. I felt the characters were interesting and (at times) shocking. It's everything I love in thrillers. I could see this adapted into a movie.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5. I couldn't put this one down. The characters, the setting, the plot, the writing — I loved it all. I look forward to reading more titles by this author.

If ever a book blew me away, it was this one. I have loved every single Belle book I've read, and this one did not disappoint.
First, it's set in Paris ... hello! Then it's focused on a married couple with secrets - one of Kimberly Belle's strengths - and the twists never ended.
From her beautiful writing style to the pacing of the book, this was something I didn't want to put down at night. Even though I read an ebook copy, I'll be buying a print copy to keep on my shelf - and I won't be lending that one out!
A must read!

I’ve been a huge fan of Kimberly Belle so when I was a new book was coming out I had to read it first. She does not disappointment. Beautiful scenic descriptions and a story with twists and turns. She did it again.

The Paris Widow was entirely entertaining from the first page! The suspense was excellent. The storyline *chefs kiss *. I was not expecting such a whirlwind of a story. It felt very much National Treasure but make it blood antiquities and throw in a fake murder.

Without giving too much away, the story starts off with a bombing, a missing husband presumed dead, mysterious ring and hidden messages, “do I trust this person?”, burner phones, and… stolen antiquities. But throws in a plot twist right before the HEA.

I LOVED this read. Bravo Kimberly. I will pick up more of your books!
