Molly Clearwater is a mousy, prudish secretary. Or so everyone thinks. After exultantly quitting her job, Molly impulsively hops a train to Paris. Unsure of herself and what to do, Molly bumps into Australian babe Alicia, who introduces her to the night life in Paris. And Molly's life starts to take a more exotic turn.

After Alicia makes her over, Molly sees how gorgeous she can be. Becoming more self-confident, she agrees to a midnight ride with a handsome stranger. Molly never knew life could be so exhilarating.

Falling in love, finding the one person she's been missing her whole life and realizing her beauty and intelligence should be celebrated, Molly learns there's more to life than a job. Paris has become the place she'll always remember, the place of firsts. And when she returns home, she'll never be the same.

What I loved about this book was that Molly always kept her character. She became bolder, took risks, but also learned from her mistakes. Molly is intelligent and wants more out of life than a womanizing boss and a no-room-for- advancement job. The French phrases were difficult to understand, although not necessary to the story's plot. This book, full of surprises, is charming and speaks to a range of women nervous about stepping out of their comfort zones.
