In A Tryst in Paris, author Anne Armistead whisks readers away on a captivating journey through time and emotion. Mirabelle Montgomery, after an enchanting visit to a carousel in Paris, suddenly finds herself transported to the Paris of 1900. Entrapped in this bygone era, she’s given a critical task: rectify the tarnished fate of an unknown man before she can return to her time.

Enter Detective Jacques Thibaut—a figure shrouded in mystery, his reputation in tatters after being accused of conspiring with anarchists against the French government. Could he be the man Mirabelle is destined to aid?

Armistead crafts a tale that is as rich in romance as it is in suspense. Readers will be drawn into the swirling dance of Mirabelle and Jacques’s relationship, oscillating between deep affection and the tantalizing question: Is Jacques truly the one Mirabelle seeks?

The narrative’s pacing is impeccable, a harmonious blend of romance, mystery, and sprinklings of fantasy that ensures readers remain riveted. The portrayal of historical Paris is evocatively detailed, transporting readers through its atmospheric streets and inviting them to lose themselves in another world. While I enjoyed the story, I would have enjoyed a deeper dive into the fantasy elements. Nonetheless, A Tryst in Paris promises an exhilarating escape, making it a must-read for readers who yearn for romance intertwined with the magic of time travel.
