Maggie Finds Her Muse A Novel by Dee Ernst


 My Excerpt:

"A delightful work of women's fiction about a bestselling author who goes to Paris to overcome writer's block, and in the process rediscovers family, independence, and love.


All Maggie Bliss needs to do is write. Forty-eight years old and newly single (again!), she ventures to Paris in a last-ditch effort to finish her manuscript. With a marvelous apartment at her fingertips and an elegant housekeeper to meet her every need, a finished book—and her dream of finally taking her career over the top—is surely within her grasp. After all, how could she find anything except inspiration in Paris, with its sophistication, food, and romance in the air?

But the clock is running out, and between her charming ex-husband arriving in France for vacation and a handsome Frenchman appearing one morning in her bathtub, Maggie’s previously undisturbed peace goes by the wayside. Charming and heartfelt, Dee Ernst's Maggie Finds Her Muse is a delightful and feel-good novel about finding love, confidence, and inspiration in all the best places."

Review:
"Maggie Finds Her Muse" by Dee Ernst

My Opinion:

What an exciting story of Maggie, who was a middle-aged woman she escapes to 'Paris to overcome writer's block, but in doing so, what will happen when she finds family, her independence, and above all love?' Will Maggie find the inspiration for her third Delania book? What will happen when Maggie finds a man in her bathtub? One can enjoy how the daughter and ex-husband were brought into the story and a love triangle that will keep one intrigued to see what would happen in that situation.

Be prepared to laugh out loud at a lot of bantering that will go on in this read as one will even be drawn to want to visit Paris, I am not sure about the writing [for me], but definitely, this is the place to visit, eat and let's not forget the wines. The areas that were visited in the story were quite something...from New Jersey, Paris, and New York.

'Maggie Finds Her Muse' was quite an entertaining, enjoyable, and fun read as this author will keep you turning the pages to see what was coming next. Even Jules [the dog] was funny, along with some other secondary characters who had their intricacies and complexities. All in all, giving the readers one heck of a romantic good read. By the end, the reader will get a good taste of not only a good read but one of: 'self-discovery, travel, food, culture, love, and even some relationships with friends and to family.'

Will Maggie find her Muse? This is where I say you will have to pick up this good read to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Griffin, and the author, Dee Ernst, for the eARC in return for an honest review.
