⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
🌶🌶

Angel Eyes is the debut novel by author Ellie Jennings and is the first book in the Paris in a Heartbeat series. It follows Juliet and Gabriel on their love adventure in Paris!

This could not have been a better beginning! Right from the start I was hooked! I am actually not one for insta love tropes but this one was written right to where yes they fell instantly but there was a deep connection and understanding right from the start that was swoon worthy.

The story line was phenomenal and kept me on my toes the whole time. The characters meshed really well together and were really well written. Like I hated Gabriel's cousin Cristian at first then by the end I was so in love with his character (cannot wait for more on him!!)

You will love this book if you enjoy insta love, one bed, he falls first, found family and so much more!

I need a book on Cristian but also need a book on professor Benoit and Lily because I sense something is brewing!!

Thank you so much to Ellie Jennings, Inverlea Press, LLC & Netgalley for the gifted copy.

Angel Eyes is the story of Juliet Chandler and Gabriel Beaumont. Juliet is a beautiful aspiring writer from New York who left her Big Law job to attend a summer institute in Paris. While in Paris she crashes into Gabriel who’s more than happy to be her guide. This is my first time reading a book my this author and I had such a great time reading it. I really enjoyed both Juliet and Gabriel as characters so that was an added bonus.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Stars

Gabriel Beaumont, a man with a strict no-dating policy after a past heartbreak, finds himself irresistibly drawn to Juliet Chandler, an aspiring writer from New York attending a summer institute in Paris. Despite his reluctance to enter into a relationship, Gabriel can't resist spending time with her. However, as their summer romance deepens, Gabriel must confront his fear of love and commitment to keep Juliet in his life, even if it means reevaluating his past decisions and facing his inner demons.


This enchanting story left me yearning to travel to Paris with its vivid and tempting descriptions. Jennings skillfully blends culture into this cute love story, making it truly memorable. Her talent as an author shines through, and I eagerly anticipate her future works.

However, the swift development of the main characters' love for each other left me wishing for a bit more build-up in that area. Despite this, I highly recommend "Angel Eyes" to anyone seeking a romance fix, especially if you're drawn to stories set in the romantic backdrop of Paris. After all, who could resist a love story in the City of Love?

Tropes:

Love at First Sight
Opposites Attract
City of Love
Summer Romance
Travelogue Romance
He falls first and falls hard 
One Bed
Found Family

Yes, yes, yes! I absolutely loved this book. I loved Juliet and Gabriel together. This books had me from the start and I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

The connection between Gabriel and Juliet is everything. The connection they have is exciting and pulls you into the book more than anything! Every girl needs a Gabriel in their lives especially the one portrayed in this book!

📖Angel Eyes- A Love at First Sight Romance in Paris
✍️Ellie Jennings
📚Paris in a Heartbeat #1

This book was a breath of sweet fresh air! The FMC - Juliet Chandler (love the name) - was a girl who always put others before her, stuck in a career and relationship she didn’t really want. When she gets a chance to escape for a summer writing program in Paris, she takes a very uncharacteristic step to do it, something for her own happiness!

The MMC - Gabriel! - is a beautiful artist, with some complicated family baggage and a whole lot of patience!
When they run into each other on a bridge, they realise theres something in the universe leading them to cross paths! They try and deny, and act casual but its very evident , very soon how great they are together. ❤️❤️

Their romance is endearing, they each support the other to carve out their niche in their new careers! Paris, is the subtle third main character in this story!

And we get to know so many other characters, that I cant wait for the next book!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

I think I just found a new auto-buy author!

I COULD NOT put this down, and I DEVOURED it in one day.

This is going to be a PERFECT summer read. I can already tell!

This book was so sweet, refreshing, and steamy! I really couldn't put it down at all, and I got so annoyed every time I did have to stop to do work.

Summer Romance ✅
He Falls First ✅
Love at First Sight ✅

Our story follows Juliet Chandler, a lawyer from New York who decides to apply and gets accepted to a summer writing program in Paris, France. This is where she meets our hero, Gabriel Beaumont, who is a bicycle tour guide by day and an artist by night!! (Kind of sort of, but he's an artist when he isn't a tour guide.)

After Juliet crashes into him (quite literally), she loses her planner, which Gabriel finds. Gabriel returns to her at the coffee shop that she had penciled in and offers to show her around Paris. She takes him up on this offer (after losing his number and taking one of his bike tours), and this is where we see their romance begin to blossom!

Not only do we see their romance and friendship grow, but we also get to see Juliet grow. I loved seeing her grow throughout this book, finally deciding that sometimes she has to put herself first and stop helping other people better their lives.

The only thing , I think is that I wish we had seen a little bit more inner conflict from Gabriel. We saw a bit, but I wish we saw a little bit more toward the middle and in the second half, especially trying to tell himself how different Juliet is from the ex who ruined him.

However, not having that didn't impact my overall view and love for this book! This book had me silently squealing, grinning like a fool, and fanning when it got a little hot.

Ellie's writing is like a breath of fresh air, and I CANNOT wait to read more of what she has to come. Especially if there's Cristian's story... 👀👀because I loooved him, and I loved his friendship with Juliet.

But also loooved Lily! So maybe? Maybe even for Ember? Possibly?? What about Professor B?? I loved him, too.

See! Ellie created such great characters in this book that I want to read about ALL of them and I want them ALL to have amazing and wonderful love stories with happily ever afters! I'll be stalking this series like a hawk!

Absolutely cannot wait to read review and share this beautiful love story! I love that it is set in Paris as well! Full thoughts and review to come very soon.
