Book Review: The Paris Roommates (Brooke)
She has a plan for everything—except her own life.
Brooke Adams is a cynical New Yorker and a Type A personality. Definitely a certified go-getter. Some people see her coming and run. Others see her for the loyal friend she is, helping them with their issues, their dreams, and their lives.
Thank God that includes her Paris roommates. They’re all back in the City of Love helping the mother of their heart, Nanine, heal from a heart attack and rebuild her restaurant. Living together and starting a new business with her found family, the timing couldn’t be better.
Because, face it, her life is a hot mess. The jerk she thought was her happily ever after dumped her. Her fashion career feels like flat champagne. She’s rudderless and has lost her plan, and she has no idea what to do about it except turn her attentions to the people she loves. Besides, they need her…
But then she gets another curveball when the Viking of her fantasies walks into her life. Axel Erikson is “the” hot new interior designer, and she and her roommates land a major coup when he agrees to work with her to decorate their new Parisian digs.
He’s nothing like her past boyfriends, who let her fix everything. Axel is a real man, one who can handle himself—and her—with that incredible sexy Viking demeanor not breaking a sweat. Plus, they seem to share a vision and balance each other.
With him, she sees a way to pave a path to a new career. With him, she sees the hope of forever. But will she be able to stop taking care of others and focus on herself? Will she trust a man again and finally let herself have the life she’s always planned?

The good-girl baker Thea Rogers.
The restless dreamer Dean Harris.

My Review
I am so loving this series. Each book brings me closer to this group of friends. Actually, they are more than friends, they are family. I love how much they support each other and have each other's backs. If you mess with one of them, you have to deal with them all.
Brooke is so career focused and always writing in her planner. So, it was nice to see her let loose a little with Axel. He does treat her like she deserves. Plus, all of the roommates like him. It was nice to hear Brooke laugh during the dinner date.
Kyle and Madison. When Kyle calls Madison "Mad", makes me smile. The scene where Kyle helped Madison to refine her winning dish had me giddy with joy. I need these two together now!
While not a roommate, I do want to mention Pierre. Madison's bird. I loved when he made appearances. Pierre is refined. He takes a bubble bath with lukewarm water and jasmine soap not in the kitchen sink like dirty dinner dishes.
