Sunset in Paris review
Reviewed by Rabia Tanveer for Readers’ Favorite
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.
Greetings
After a long hiatus due to some nasty health issues. I got covid in winter 2023 which turned into long covid which ultimately sent me to the hospital for three weeks (July, 2023) with cardio myopathy. I spent most of the following year and until late 2025 regaining my strength and am finally feeling to be more of myself and have the energy to function. All in all, it all left me listless and with no energy. All I wanted to do was sleep. It also drained me of any creativity. All in all, it sucked.
With the help of my health team: cardiologist, doctor, acupuncture, my psychic healer, along with practicing Chi Gong and Tai Chi, I’m not totally better but probably close to 95%.
So, I’m back and wanting promo my last book, Sunset in Paris, a sequel to San Juan Sunrise. I’ll include a promo clip. Please click on it and enjoy. Available in paperback or audio from Amazon. or in paperback from Barnes and Noble.
A touching and insightful story of a young woman’s healing from childhood abuse.
Abuse and neglect were all Jenny knew as a child. In her college years, she withdrew into herself and then chose to live a reclusive life in the San Juan Mountains. For two summers she backpacked through the wilderness and spent the winters in a secluded cabin, but when, with another winter coming on, she finds her cabin has burned down, she is forced to seek shelter with a stranger.
Wary and frightened, she finds the man, William, to be kind and caring, and they gradually develop a bond. With his help, she learns to trust people again and counseling helps her regain her spirit and get her life back. But will she ever be able to forgive her abusers and herself and move forward with her life?
