MY THOUGHTS:
Paris, 1939: Evelina can’t believe her eyes. Her own design on a mannequin. As she watches those in the room in awe of her creation, she cannot believe it is hers. Present day, London: as Blake sits in her office with a piece of silver velvet in her hand attached to a faded dress design. The beautiful, breathtaking designs were left with her grandmother at Hope’s House. With her grandmother now gone, the design’s are all she has left of her biological family. The only way to get the answers she’s searching for is to return to Paris. When Blake meets fashion curator, Henri they immediately connect. But Blake must stay focused, she is determined to find out everything she can about her family. But can she find the answers she needs with the help of Henri, or will she return home with more questions and a broken heart.
The Paris Daughter, written by author Soraya Lane is a phenomenal story of love, family and new friends. I completely enjoyed the story of Blake and Henri. They were a perfect match for each other and their story melted my heart. This wonderful tale hit all the feels and left me with a happy heart. I loved the history and Evelina’s story. Lane is a master storyteller and always captures the reader’s attention at the very first page and hold it until the last page is turned. The detailed description of the streets of Paris made this book a wonderful escape. This marvelous addition to The Lost Daughters Series can be read as a standalone, but my suggestion is to read the entire series, it is phenomenal. I highly recommend this book.

Paris, 1939: Gazing out at the glittering skyline, Evelina clutches the letter from her love in shaking hands. “I know I do not deserve you, my darling, but I pray that you will change your mind. You have my heart, and I hope that nothing will keep us apart…”
London, present day. Blake gazes down at a scrap of shimmering silver velvet attached to a faded dress design, tracing the details with wonder. They were left with her grandmother at Hope’s House, a home for unmarried mothers, before she was adopted. Now her beloved grandmother has passed, the beautiful fabric and the designer’s signature are the only clues Blake has about her biological family. Will she be able to unravel the decades-old family secret?
Blake can’t get the intricate drawing, and what it could reveal about her family, out of her head. Armed with a plane ticket, a Paris address and the details of a handsome fashion curator named Henri, Blake is determined to find out the truth about her talented great-grandmother Evelina’s life. Perhaps doing so will help Blake get her old spark for designing back, after her dreams have sat forgotten for so long.
Soon Blake is walking down the Champs-Élysées and enjoying intimate dinners with Henri,who is researching Evelina’s work as one of Paris’ most celebrated designers, whose bold designs rivalled Coco Chanel’s. As Henri and Blake grow closer, they uncover Evelina’s legacy, and her forbidden romance that set the fashion world ablaze.
As Blake discovers the impossible choice that caused Evelina to flee the most romantic city in the world, she wonders if she too could risk everything for love. Could hearing tales of her great-grandmother’s bravery encourage her to take a chance on a new life with Henri? Or will the fallout of Evelina’s heart-wrenching past drive Blake back home?
