ANGEL EYES BY ELLIE JENNINGS
Review to my Goodreads: Angel Eyes is about Juliet finding herself in Paris to pursue her passion for writing by attending a summer class after getting tired of her big time job as a lawyer in New York. There, he meets Gabriel, a painter that has secrets of his own.
Angel Eyes is an easy read for me that I enjoyed reading it before sleep. Romantic and fun to read. I liked the story, plot, and the setting used. It is well written and I cannot wait to read more as I believe it will be a series.
I am waiting more for Cristian’s story, that man deserves happiness!

Summary From The Book:
Some call it love at first sight; he calls it trouble. He swore never to fall for anyone again... so why can't he stay away from her?
Gabriel Beaumont has one rule when it comes to dating-don't.
After he found himself on the wrong end of love once, he swore to never let it happen again. And in the three years since he moved to Paris to open an art gallery, it's suited him just fine. Until her.
From the moment Juliet Chandler crashed into his life, she upended his entire world. She's a beautiful aspiring writer from New York who left her Big Law job to attend a summer institute in Paris, and he's happy to be her guide around the city if it means spending time with her. There's just one problem. He can't keep his eyes-or his hands-off her. She's the falling-in-love type, and he doesn't do relationships. But with summer coming to an end, he'll do anything to keep her. Even if it means facing the life he left behind.
My Thoughts:
The story is about Juliet, a kind and efficient lawyer working in New York whose true passion is to write. Due to urging of a friend and somehow feeling the burn out at work, she decided to attend a summer class for writing in Paris. Here comes Gabriel, a painter who falls in love hard at first sight to Juliet. Can he make Juliet stay specially with his baggages?
The book is fun and easy to read, I enjoyed reading it before sleep at night. It was romantic and exciting.
The point of view of the book started as dual alternating with Juliet and Gabriel but later on, there are chapters with Cristian’s point of view.
In my opinion, the most character development is the FMC, Juliet. It is nice to see in the book on how she developed from someone who just follows what others want to someone who is independent and makes her own decisions.
From the previous book that I read before this (Love is Ale You Need), I am now starting to resent the name “Kyle” because here, a character Kyle is another douchebag. LOL. And again, I hate him and glad that Juliet got rid of him.
Most memorable scene for me is when Cristian went to Juliet like a friend in shining armor on one of her down times.
Angel Eyes has mentions or contains of cheating, child neglect, sexual scenes, deception, gambling.
The title Angel Eyes pertained to a painting and has been mentioned in the book.
The book is romantic that will make you teary and swoon with the sweetness. Annoyed with the twists.
My Favorite Line/s:
"Take a long look in the mirror and figure out why I always come in second place in the eyes of everyone I've ever loved." - Cristian page 242
Rating: 5/5 because the plot is good, engaging and I had a good time reading it
