This was a wonderfully written book. The ins and outs of the fashion world during WORLD WAR II. So many secrets in order to help people escape the horrors. I enjoyed reading this sad story.

During WWII a fashion house is used as part of the resistance. Very touching story. Renee Ryan is one of my favorite authors.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read an early release of Renee Ryan’s latest book
I really enjoyed reading this
It was an emotional heartfelt story about the Jews and the Germans taking over during ww11
There are many lives and happy endings in the end.

I love redemption stories and have been following this family since The Widows of Champagne. Paulette Leblanc was young and naive in that story and makes a terrible choice. We get to see the effects of that choice and the second chance she’s been given in Ryan’s latest, The Last Fashion House in Paris. Thank you for all the Easter eggs you hid, Renee Ryan!

When Paulette, Helene’s youngest daughter, is sent to her mother’s friend, Mademoiselle Sabine Ballard, to work in a fashion house in Paris, it’s the making of her and the start of her redemption story. It’s a historically rich and vibrant wartime story and Paulette’s emotional story ties it all together. Will what she’s learned about trust help her make the right decision this time around?

I was prompted to google the fashion industry during the occupation and was surprised at the tenacity of Les Parisiennes in keeping the industry in Paris.

If you haven’t read any of Ryan’s historical fiction yet, you need to put this author on your radar.

I was gifted this copy by Harlequin and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

The Last Fashion House in Paris by Renee Ryan is a World War II story that takes place in Paris, France in a fashion house. The two heroines are brave and daring as they face the challenges of trying to hide from their heritage and their past. Readers will learn about the world of fashion and see the way that the fashion was used to help rescue Jews from Paris as the Nazi's tried to take over. The plot is predictable and mingles in with some plots of other novels that I have read about world war II. The setting will be familiar to readers of World War II novels. Occupation from the Nazi's and trying to escape their wrath. Guilt does haunt the two main characters, but they learn to let their guard down and learn to trust others again. Enough to make better decisions that will affect others lives through their choices. Overall, The Last Fashion House in Paris by Renee Ryan fits nicely into the World War II fiction genre, but the story was predictable.

I received a complimentary copy of The Last Fashion House in Paris by Renee Ryan from Harlequin Trade Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
