Book Review: Wanderlust by Lauren Blakely

The first time I met him, his sexy British accent almost talked me into giving him my number on the spot. The second time, he nearly charmed the panties off me with his wit. Then I learned he's the key to success in my new job in Paris. The man who tempts me into fling-worthy dirty daydreams has turned out to be my personal translator, and his accent is the hottest thing I've ever heard.
My mantra is simple -- Don't mix business with pleasure. I do my best to resist him as he teaches me how to converse with my co-workers, navigate the metro and order the perfect bottle of wine at dinner. But I also figure out how to tell the charming and clever man what I most want to say -- that I want him to take me back to his flat -- tonight.
Except there's a catch...

One more assignment before I take off on my big adventure...

And it involves the toughest work ever -- resisting the fetching American woman I spend all my days with. But you know what they say about best intentions. Soon, we're spending our nights tangled together, and I don’t want to let her go. The trouble is, my wanderlust is calling to me, and before we know it I'll be traveling the globe to fulfill a promise I made long ago.

What could possibly go wrong with falling in love in Paris? Nothing...unless one of you is leaving.

Wanderlust is very different from other Lauren Blakely romances.  I found myself discovering all the feels. Falling in the love, not only with the main characters but also a beautiful city with many hidden treasures.  The story descriptions are vivid and sensual, from the aromatic scents to the reign of kisses. 

Griffin Thomas is a Brit living in Paris, fulfilling his brother's bucket list.  He's very close to moving onto his next big adventure when he meets his next assignment.

Joy Danvers-Lively accepted a position in Paris to reinvent herself after she finally ended a loveless relationship. While in Paris, Joy has a big hurdle to overcome but her company hires her assistance. Joy doesn't speak French and Griffin makes for the perfect translator.  

They have an instant connection but a relationship could complicate things.  Joy doesn't mix business with pleasure and Griffin is leaving when his assignment is over to continue with the bucket list. 

Come what may but the heart knows what it wants.  It's up to the mind to catch up.  I really enjoyed Wanderlust. I loved the blossoming romance and the vivid descriptions. It opens your mind to what around you. 5 Stars
