The book did keep me interested almost all the way through, in spite of the erotica; but, what WAS the ending all about? Will someone please explain the ending to me? And what did it have to do with her friend Bunny?

[…] do you think I am? Well, I also just realized this morning after reading Meghan’s review of Foreign Tongue that erotica in literature doesn’t phase me any more than cussing does. Maybe it’s […]

ACK! I'm so sorry this novel didn't work for you. I absolutely loved it. I learned a lot of new cuss words as a result and it made my day. That wasn't all that I liked. I enjoyed Anna's inner journey and the look inside French life. I hadn't read a great deal of fiction set in France before and this novel set my interest in a new direction. I'm not sure what it says about me that the erotic novel portion didn't register with me. If something sticks out to me, I try to point it out. Well, it's time for lunch and I'll ponder my deviant psyche later. LOL! I was just commenting on a post on FizzyThoughts about a book that I enjoyed that she did not like whatsoever. She couldn't remember whose recommendation led her to read the book in the first place. If it was me, my batting record isn't that great lately. .-= Literate Housewife´s last blog ..I’d Rather Be Reading, Wouldn’t I? =-.

I've been interested in this book for a while, but I didn't realize it was an erotic novel either. Thanks for letting me know - I don't think it's for me. .-= bermudaonion (Kathy)´s last blog ..BEA/NY Day 1 =-.

Hmmm... I'm not a fan of erotica either, but I like books that take place in France. But if she mostly spends her time inside instead of telling of her French life, I guess I wouldn't enjoy it much, either... sorry you didn't get much from it. .-= kay @ Infiniteshelf´s last blog ..Review : Pretty Little Liars =-.

I don't usually read the backs of books either and would have been surprised by the erotica too. Sorry this one wasn't for you. .-= Melissa - Shhh I'm Reading´s last blog ..Unfinished: Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez =-.

What a shame this turned out to be a stinker for you. Hopefully your next book will make this a distant memory.
Thanks for the honest review

That sucks. The summary sounds awesome. I totally wish I had an aunt in Paris whose apartment I could crash in. This book reminds me of one I tried to read a few years ago about an English woman who gets dumped by her fiance and runs off to Paris on the spur of the moment to get away from him. That book was a major disappointment, too. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Lord of the Night by Susan Wiggs =-.

Not sure if this one would be for me. I am not a big fan of erotica, and that may hamper my enjoyment of the book a lot. Also, I don't really get on too well with whiny characters, so that's another strike for the book. I think I might just skip this one, but I do thank you for your honesty, which helped me make my decision!! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..The Garden of Ruth by Eva Etzioni-Halevy - 293 pgs =-.

I don't mind sex in books but a lot of times when that is the focus it is just too much. I doubt I would like this one. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..BEA Wishlist =-.
