Winnie Takes Paris

Love and Travels, Book 2

By: Lane Hayes

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

The fabulous stylist, the absentminded professor, and a Parisian adventure…

Winnie

Someone once said, when life gets you down and you’re feeling blue, brush yourself off and go to Paris!

Okay, maybe that was me.

Hey, I don’t regret taking an oddball assignment to assist a British professor abroad. I could use a break from my life as an aspiring hair and style guru in LA. The only worrisome snag is that the professor is determined to do everything on his own.

Not acceptable. I’m here to help the impossibly smart geek with mismatched socks who just happens to be my best friend’s boss.

No, I don’t know nothing about history, but I’m nothing if not resourceful. What could go wrong?

Alistair

I’ve been called an absent-minded professor more than once. I don’t mind at all. My work is important and living on a diet of biscuits and tea while delving into ancient civilizations doesn’t seem so terrible. But Paris calls. And somehow, I have a new temporary assistant.

Winnie is a technicolor, whirlwind American with a wicked laugh and the subtlety of a steamroller. He’s brash and ridiculous and…funny, warm, lovely, and—

Oh no. This can’t be happening. I swore I’d never fall for anyone again.

Winnie can take Paris, but he can’t take my heart.

Or can he?

Winnie Takes Paris is an MM romantic comedy featuring a fabulous diva, a nerdy professor, and the Parisian adventure of a lifetime!

Winnie & Alistair

I enjoyed this one almost as much as book one. There was a part that didn't work well for me but it didn't take a lot away from the rest of the story. The audiobook narration by Joel Leslie had me enjoying this more than when I read it. He is always great to listen to.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Charming!

You had me at Paris! Lovely story and characters. I want to read more about them.

Enjoyable

You need a feel good read this is it. This author is new to me. Just happened to see the audible on sale and the book sounded good. Well I ended up getting the second one too. The story is very good and I love Joel Leslie as the narrator.

Sweet and Spicy

Beautifully sweet and soo funny! Winnie is a hoot! I loved his energy. He definitely brought Alistair back to life. Alistair is super sexy in a nerdy way. Joel Leslie does an amazing job of bringing these characters to life.

I loved listening to this book!

When I read this book with my eyes last month, I said the only thing that would make me love it any more would be listening to the audiobook performed by Joel Leslie. I was right! Joel’s performance made a wonderful story even better. 💖 My original review is shown below.

I loved everything about this story. Winnie is a fun and flirty character – completely opposite to Alistair – but they are perfect for each other. There were LOL moments, where it was a good thing I wasn’t eating or drinking anything at the time, and there were many tender moments, too. It was kind of a slow burn story as well because the sexy time didn’t start until about 40% into the story (I love a good slow-burn romance). But once things heated up between Winnie and Alistair, OMG, they were HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 together. I enjoyed all of the descriptions of Paris; they kind of made me feel like I was right there with Alistair and Winnie. It’s unlikely that I’ll ever make it there so seeing it through their eyes was a treat.

The only thing that will make me love this story any more is listening to the fantastic Joel Leslie perform the audiobook which I understand is coming soon.
