Blog Tour: A Manhattan Heiress in Paris by Amanda McCabe*

 

'Leaving Manhattan…

For a secret Parisian affair…

New York darling Elizabeth Van Hoeven has everything…except freedom. But now Eliza’s travelling to study the piano at the Paris Conservatoire—and falling for jazz prodigy Jack Coleman in the process! A love like theirs is forbidden back home, and as they make beautiful music together under the Parisian lights Eliza and Jack face a difficult choice: the life they’ve always known, or the possibility of a life they never could have imagined…'

This is the story of Eliza and Jack, which is told over the course of 26 Chapters as well as both a Prologue and Epilogue. This story was easy to get into and lose myself not only in the story but also of the descriptions of Paris. 

This story is all about Freedom, not only from Social Norms but from judgement and the ability to be your true self. Jack and Elizabeth are able to find this for themselves in the glorious Paris of the 20s.

Although this couple are opposites, with Eliza being a white lady from fifth avenue and Jack is a black trumpetist from Harlem. Their worlds manage to collide within the beauty of music. 

Now let me tell you about the Author Amanda McCabe, who wrote her first romance at the tender age of sixteen, it was a vast historical epic starring all her friends as characters. It was written in secret during her algebra class; her parents wondered why math was not her strongest subject. She may have never used algebra since but her books have been nominated for many awards including the RTA Award, the Romantic Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Booksellers Best, the National readers Choice Award and the Holt Medallion. She currently lives in Santa Fe with a Poodle, a cat, her wonderful husband and far too many books and royal memorabilia collections. When she is not reading or writing, you can find Amanda taking dance classes, collecting cheesy travel souvenirs and watching the Food Network (even though she doesn't cook). Amanda also writes for Grand Central Publishing as Laurel McKee, the Elizabethan Mystery series as Amanda Carmack and the Manor Cat Mystery Series as Eliza Casey.

Overall this book is easy to get stuck into and tells a story about how two worlds collide over a shared love. Although some heavy topics are mentioned it doesn't affect how much readers will love this story. You can get your copy HERE
