Sunset in Paris by Ed Lehner follows Jennifer Morse, an author trying to move on. A successful writer, Jennifer spends the majority of her time on book tours. While thriving professionally, Jennifer is struggling in her personal life. Her health declines, and her relationship with Chris fizzles out when he cheats on her. Looking for a fresh start, Jennifer travels to Paris to stay with her grandparents, and things change for the better. On a trip to Monte Carlo, she meets Jean Luc Bonnet. The racecar driver makes her feel loved again, but she isn’t ready for a relationship just yet. Hiding from the demons of her past, Jennifer decides to return to the USA and goes on a road trip to find herself. However, nothing could have prepared Jennifer for the secrets she discovered. Will this help Jennifer find herself? Or will she lose herself once again?

Author Ed Lehner made sure his readers were immersed in the story from the get-go. Jennifer is a relatable protagonist whose struggles feel real. I felt a connection with her that I could not explain. She was tired of her fast-paced life, heartbroken, and had no idea what she should do to fix the issues she was facing. The journey to Paris, Monte Carlo, California, and then back to Paris was handled exceptionally well. Nothing felt rushed or dragged. The descriptions were fantastic, the setting was realistic, and Jennifer’s character development was perfect. I could not have asked for a better audiobook. Sunset in Paris comes highly recommended!

The Virtual Voice by Audible was a great narrator. While I prefer voice actor narrations, the voice chosen is not robotic and actually captures Jennifer’s essence. I loved how soft the voice was and created a calm space where I could focus on Jennifer’s journey without any roadblocks. It helped me enjoy Jennifer’s progress and feel like a part of her story.
