Love Me in Paris
The Self Vow: Book One
D Pichardo-Johansson
O la la! Are you in for a treat!! What’s better than viewing The Louvre or the Eiffel Tower? What’s better than cafe au lait and a croissant in a charming cafe? A new book series by Diely Pichardo-Johansson!!
I have now read all seven books by Diely. Two series! I loved each one, with their blend of romance, self-help and positivity, friendship and love. If you’ve read Diely’s books, you know what I mean- the real women characters, the interesting men, the love and understanding blended into page-turning stories. Diely’s new series takes it to a whole new level! Wow, this first book is amazing!!
Diely herself is amazing. I have emailed with her throughout her series, and she is fun, engaging, dedicated and she outshines the Florida sun (where she lives.) Get to know her! https://pichardo-johansson-md.com
I stand here before you not only as an example that it is possible to defy all prognoses and finding love, but also as an example that it is possible to reinvent yourself.

JENA’S REVIEW
Love Me in Paris: A Travel Romance by D. Pichardo-Johansson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bonjour! The latest book from Author Pichardo-Johansson is the trip to Paris you’ve been dreaming about. One of my favorite authors, D. Pichardo-Johansson has written two book series, seven books in all. I have read and greatly enjoyed everyone of them. I was delighted when the author let me know that she would soon be publishing the first book in a new series, The Self Vow. I was thrilled when I read an advance review copy she provided. And now that I have finished reading, o la la! Love Me in Paris is perfect in every way, like a French croissant, or a kiss on a bridge over the Seine.
The series involves four girlfriends, and each gets their own book to share their story. Sophie features in this book. She is a pleasant gal from Indiana, still girlish and fanciful, but also a bit lost and unfocused. She lost her parents when she was 12, and in many ways she is still that young girl, wounded and uncertain.
One of her friends, Iris, has written a popular self-help book, The Self Vow. At the beginning of the story, the four friends meet and promise to follow the precepts of the book. “We promise to be our own source of love. Never again will we settle for less than what we really want.” Sophie decide she wants to have a relationship like she remembers her parents having- soul mates. She goes to Paris to follow the last trip her parents took together, in the hopes of getting to know them better and to find a direction for her own life. And then in Paris, she bumps into Trevor and the “travel romance” begins. What will Sophie’s journey be like? How will it end?
I read this enchanting story tout suite. Everything about this book is as radiant as Paris (and Annecy, another place that features in the story.) The author “shows” us everything. The characters’ actions, feelings and thoughts, the sights, smells, sounds of the many fascinating places in Paris all blend perfectly. We are entertained and enriched by learning about the Self Vow, which is presented in a positive and easy way, woven well into the charm of the story. Sophie and Trevor each tell their story in the first person, alternating chapters and this is the smoothest presentation of dual stories I have read.
And yes, the spicy-sexy parts advance the story, reveal even more about the characters and are joyous to read. Tres bien, Author Pichardo-Johansson.
At the end of the story, readers are informed about how to obtain the free photo companion book of images. The author took these photos herself, and they really do add fun and even more vibrancy to the story. In this book, Sophie looks for a “travel companion for life.” Well, the Author is now my “book companion for life, and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Thanks to Author Pichardo-Johansson for an advance review copy. This is my honest review.
