About The Book
“If I go back to Paris, it would be my third time there as an undercover agent…” Kitty murmured. “I ask myself, how many chances does one person get?”
Paris, 1941. When Kitty is asked to return to Paris as an undercover agent, she knows the mission is her most dangerous yet. But she has been fighting the Nazis for too long to stop now. And her role within the Resistance has already cost her friends, family and now – almost – her own marriage.
Because while she and Edgar are more in love than ever, his role as an undercover Nazi means it is safer if they are no longer married. And while signing the divorce papers is a formality that breaks her heart, Kitty knows that she and Edgar will find a way to be together when the war is finally over…
More determined than ever to undermine the Nazi regime, Kitty has nothing left to lose. From secretly supplying Prisoner of War camps with essential items, to moving refugees across borders to safety, she will stop at nothing to play her part in bringing the war to a close, even if it means risking her own life.
But when Edgar goes missing, Kitty’s world stops. As she begins a desperate search for her beloved husband, she hears from her contacts that he has been killed. But Kitty feels strongly in her heart that, somewhere out there, Edgar is still alive. And she knows she must risk everything to rescue the man she loves, no matter what…
An absolutely gripping, heartbreaking and powerful story about courage, love and bravery in the midst of World War 2. Perfect for fans of The Nightingale, My Name is Eva and All the Light We Cannot See.

My Thoughts
An American Wife in Paris is the second book in the incredible The Diplomat’s Wife series.
Before starting this book, I do advise you to read An American Wife which is the first book in this series. It will give you the characters backstory and help you to understand their thoughts even better.
Once again, we see Kitty returning to Paris as an undercover agent. She knows it’s her most dangerous mission yet. Married to an Austrian diplomat she is thrown into a very different world than she was used to. Edgar is Nazi spy; it breaks Kitty’s heart to have to sign papers for a divorce for her safety. This is for you if you enjoy spying, thrilling, edge of your seat gripping stories.
One thing we notice is Kitty’s unfailing love for Edgar. It propels her forward and is the driving force and encouragement for doing what she needs to do.
Once I started reading it this book was very hard to put down.
You must ask yourself can you trust your contacts?
Kitty works with the Resistance movement and constantly finds herself in dangerous situations
The research is very evident in the book and it’s such a compelling read. Very well written. The ending was very tense, and I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Author Bio
Chrystyna Lucyk-Berger is a Ukrainian-American who transplanted to Austria.
Born in 1969, she grew up in the culture-rich neighborhood of “Nordeast” Minneapolis and started her writing career with short stories, travel narratives, and worked as a journalist and managing magazine editor, before jumping the desk and pursuing her own writing and traveling.
Her books tackle David-vs.-Goliath themes with strong women battling for the Underdogs against a system, be it political, geographical, or industrial. Sometimes all three. “I enjoy discovering the good, the bad, and the ugly in my characters when they come into conflict,” she says. “And all of my stories have been inspired by injustices I’ve discovered along my travels.”
