5.0 out of 5 stars Zoya + Camille = (Romance)n
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017

Zoya’s break up left her bitter, angry and feeling sorry for herself. After her ex cheated and left her, there were assets to split and decisions to make, like selling the house and moving out. Unaware of life’s surprises she attends a call from the occupant at her Airbnb. After a rough meeting with her ex, a date with a stranger becomes more than Zoya expected. Is she losing her mind or her heart?

As part of her 2-month holiday cruising Australia, Camille’s final destination is Sydney. One more week and she will be back home in Paris with her children and soon to be born granddaughter. Her traveling started after her divorce from her husband of 26 years. More than a soul-searching trip, her overseas journey was a come-to-terms/self-acceptance kind of trip. During her marriage, she had been suppressing whom she was and dedicated her time to her family. Now, with her children grown, she was ready to lead a different life. Her first day in Sydney brings her face to face with the Airbnb’s owner, and to a date that will change her life.

Zoya’s and Camille’s affair is full of passion and newness. After their first time together, the briefness of time, and the distance that soon will separate them is heavy in their minds. They recognized the growing need for each other and the love that seems to be increasing by the minute, but only understanding the difference between sacrifice and love-inspired willingness will save their hearts.

This Foreign Affair is a steamy-romantic story. The erotic scenes are framed by the kind of love that surprises, and makes you vulnerable with their intensity. This is like a lesbian’s fairytale that will go well with wine, cheese and some tissues- for those who cannot deal with goodbyes-. Enjoy the reading!

I’ve always enjoyed Harper Bliss books. Since I read all her others I decided to try the Pink Bean series. This is a wonderful love story. Both women in their late forties. One gay all her life and the other newly out of a very long term marriage. Soon to be a Grandmother. They live 10,000 miles apart. Who moves? Read the book and find out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!! A book where the characters communicate as adults.
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
Zoya is recovering from a break-up with her partner of sixteen years, her partner had an affair and left her for the other woman. Caitlin advices Zoya that she needs to have a fling to begin to move on. It just so happens that the smoke detector in Zoya's Airbnb has been beeping every few seconds all night long and when she goes over to replace the battery she meets Camille who is "tall and has cheekbones for days" and "eyes that sparkle with something". Camille is also French, who doesn't like a French accent? Camille asks Zoya out for coffee and so begins Zoya's journey to moving on and Camille's journey to becoming her true self. You see Camille has recently divorced her philandering, politician husband and accepted the fact that she is a lesbian. Camille has spent the past two months travelling in Australian on her own Eat, Pray Love journey and Sydney is her last stop before returning to Paris. Zoya and Camille's time together is short but the connection is undeniable, now all they have to do is figure out how to make a LONG distance relationship work.

There were a couple times during the story where I thought I knew which direction it was going to go but...nope, I was wrong and happy to be wrong. I like the slight cross over with French Kissing, although you don't have to have read French Kissing to read This Foreign Affair. There was one thing that Zoya did that I was disappointed to see wasn't covered in detail but I hold out hope that it will be covered in either a future Pink Bean or French Kissing book. I loved the playfulness between Zoya and Camille and that they actually communicate about issues, not just jump to conclusions about what the other is thinking\doing. It's so refreshing to see that as opposed to drama created because characters don't just talk to each other. Zoya and Camille are mature, adult women that make the relationship work because they work at the relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent romance novel!
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017

This Foreign Affair by Harper Bliss is a sweet but moving romance novel about a long-distance romance, encased with the kind of love that builds bridges all the way to the other side of the world.

This Foreign Affair is the fourth book in The Pink Bean Series, set in and around a coffee shop in Sydney Australia. You can read this fourth book in the series as a standalone book without any issues. The minor characters from one book are featured in the next one and their stories are brought to life.

This fourth installment in the series was a fun romantic read. The chemistry between Zoya and Camille is sizzling. It’s an entrancing journey filled with courage to happily ever after, stories that Harper writes so well.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Pink Bean series!
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
The previous three books in The Pink Bean series had huge messages that pretty much slapped you in the face. If you haven't read them, I strongly urge you to. While you may think This Foreign Affair doesn't have a message, it does; Communication! I loved this happy book. Mainly because I didn't cry like the last three, smile. But, also, because it was another book about real life adults and real life issues. While it can be enjoyed without reading any other of Harper's books, I like the reappearing of the other books characters, like Dominique and Steph from French Kissing. My only teenie tiny issue, but it's mainly because I am a typical American that can only speak one language, I had to look up all the French phrases used. But at least now I have a handful of phrases I can use. Thank you Harper for continuing to share your fantastic words. Keep them coming.

Ì loved Foreign Affair. Camille and Zoya are really experimenting the "Coup de foudre" and cannot live without the other. It is refreshing to read about two women that are middle aged and are not afraid to love and do a drastic change in their life to be with the other.
As all Harper Bliss books I read, it is amazing. <3

5.0 out of 5 stars Where there is a will...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2017

An absorbing tale of the trials and tribulations of maintaining a long distance relationship.
Harper Bliss accurately details the raw emotion and feelings experienced by two women (Camille and Zoya), who have to cram into a few precious days together what others take months to experience and enjoy.
The fears, doubts, elation and sheer intensity of a love that must struggle to survive the pain of separation. Not just across thousands of miles, but of different cultures too.
Has Camille finally found the strength to set herself free? To be who she really is?
Can Zoya find the courage to deal with the upheaval and consequences of leaving everyone and everything she holds dear? Will their love be strong enough for them to build a new life together? 
This book is descriptively written and well perceived - without being over sentimental. Harper has captured the essence of the strength and determination these two women possess, in order to keep their love alive. A compelling read, and not just for those involved in a long distance relationship. These words were written by my girlfriend and better half, Linnhe. Although many miles stand between us, we have proved that where there is a will there is a way.

I loved this book. The two main characters were older and had a lot to take into consideration when choosing whether or not to move forward with their relationship. Through communication and love, they figured it out.
