Publisher's Summary:

Rosie Jackson is beginning to slowly come to terms with a new life and a new future at the age of 65.

Rosie is bereft when her husband, Mike, dies. She misses him terribly; even though he wasn't the love of her life, she feels lonely in her grief, despite being close to her two grown-up daughters.

With time away from the family florist business, Rosie has the space to think about the past and what might have been. She remembers a summer with first love Peter as one of the happiest times of her life, but her memories are bittersweet. After a chance encounter with Peter 47 years later, they both begin to wonder 'what if?' and whether it's never too late for second chances in love....

Disappointing

I have read, and loved, all of Sue Watson's books but this one just didn't do it for me. In fact, I couldn't wait to get to the end. Not because it was interesting, I just hoped something unoredictable was going to happen! I hated the way it was written in the first person, constantly jumping between different tenses. It was slow too, simply full of the main characters thoughts, feelings and reminisences and lacked Ms Watson's normal humerous style. I prefer a story with more action and dialogue. I hope the author returns to her previous wonderful story-telling for her next release.

Fantastic

Rosie and Mike were happy together for many years. Unfortunately he became ill and not long after his diagnosis he passed away, so Rosie has to get used to living on her own. She has her work, in the flower shop she runs together with her daughters, to distract her, but she misses Mike very much. When she's delivering the flowers for a fancy wedding she meets Peter. Peter was Rosie's first love. They met at art college when they were still very young and Peter broke Rosie's heart. He would love to see her again and even though it's difficult for Rosie she's also curious, so they set a date.

When Rosie's ready to start seeing someone romantically again, Peter would love to go out with her and get to know her once more. He wants them to have a second chance. Things went wrong when they were young, but it's never too late, they can still have a future together. At the age of sixty-four Rosie gets another chance at love. Will she take it and what will be the consequences if she does?

We'll Always Have Paris is a beautiful and sweet story. I loved that Sue Watson has chosen to write about a stunning woman who's in her sixties. It was wonderful to read about Rosie and her family. Rosie is a strong woman, she can stand up for herself, she's talented and she knows what she's capable of. I immediately liked her and loved reading about her adventures. Peter has something to prove and I was curious to see if he'd be able to. He's kind, charming and artistic and he has a great free spirit. The old chemistry between Rosie and Peter is back immediately and they are amazing together.

Sue Watson is very good at writing about families. She knows exactly how to describe relationships between people and she has an impressive way of expressing emotions. That's what makes We'll Always Have Paris such a fantastic story, she writes about both the happy and the sad parts of life in an equally comfortable way, which makes her stories warm and recognizable.
