French Kissing: Season Five

Paris changes from the “City for Lovers” to the “City of Betrayers”.

President Dominique Laroche has a year left to her candidacy and everyone is assuming that she is going to run again except the President herself. When she shares her doubts with Solange, her Chief of Staff, and her partner Steph, a partner in Barber & Cyr the President's PR firm, she gets completely opposite reactions. Solange responds typically as she has given her life and her relationship with Aurore to give her best to her position and Dominique. Solange has to rethink her entire life, but before she can take her next breath there is a leak and it comes from an unexpected source. Everyone is surprised when Dominque's private thoughts end up in a Socialist's hands to do with what she will. The betrayal ends up affecting everyone from the new relationships formed to old relationships at Barber & Cyr. What does Dominque decide? Whose relationship survives the betrayal? Then Sybille joins the Socialist campaign and throws more fuel on the fire by sharing secrets she learned at Barber & Cyr. Can Dominque and Steph's relationship survive the stress and the press under fire?

Harper Bliss can create the drama and she does in French Kissing: Season Five. Writing the above was recreating the stress for me that reading it did and I know the ending (laugh). There is a lot going on in this book and it makes for an exciting read, but...and there is actually a “but” here. I think some emotions could have been made clearer with a paragraph or less of information, for example Claire and Margot have a sexual dominance relationship. Margot realizes at one point that she has been neglecting Claire in this area, but I think for people who are not experienced with this type of relationship they may not realize why Claire and Margot need this and how it helps them individually and as a couple. This was mentioned in a previous book, but in the situation that develops in this book an explanation would actually help people to understand this type of relationship in a healthy way - an opportunity missed. This book also felt a bit rushed though it takes place over a length of time to show that decisions and events were not made over night, the impact of the betrayal between a particular couple that was heading one way and then ended up going the complete opposite way - no mention of how they're relationship survived that year when they literally were reliving all of their previous problems and having lost even more time. This book was exciting for it's drama and Bliss writes emotion filled sex scenes. I loved being in Paris again and cannot wait to see what Bliss has in store for us again next time.
