I was just reading The Paris Apartment and had to stop it was full of F*bombs...I should have read the author more closely, mine was by Lucy Foley

Sandy (sngrant) | 83 comments I just finished The Paris Apartment by Kelly Bowen and just so you are aware there is a bit of language in it. If it was all in the first chapter I may have skipped it but it was later and it was not constant. It was just enough to say that it was definitely not free of foul language. Overall, I didn't feel it was intrusive or horribly forced but it was there.

Yes, I noticed the title of The Paris Apartment is the same,
but by a different author. Sorry for the mixup. The author of the one I recommended is definitely Kelly Bowen.

April (aprilgdesign) I've added most of these to my reading list. Thank you for the recommendations!

I agree with the note above about language in The Paris Apartment by Kelly Bowen. There was a number of times when God's name in vain. I know this isn't a Christian group specifically, but thought I'd throw that out there for anyone sensitive to that. Overall clean book and good story however!

So sorry about that--I will be more careful of my recommendations in the future. It had been awhile since I read that book and had forgotten the language problem. I will only recommend books I have read recently so I don't make that mistake again!! I take this group seriously and want to be a trusted contributor.
