My review:

What If It’s Love is a sweet coming of age story of a affluent Russian girl named Lena. She meets Rob, a waiter in a Paris cafe, and they embark in a fun, somewhat emotional, romantic ride. There is a bit of intrigue. Rob’s interest in Lena in the beginning is not on the up and up. This book is definitely for the hopeless romantic who craves HEA of characters. Alix’s descriptions are vivid and enchanting. You can feel yourself in the story walking along side the characters. This is not a heavy story driven book but if you are looking for a fun, romantic book- this one is for you.

About the Author:

I am an avid reader of chick lit, romance and fantasy, caffeine addict and a badge-wearing Mr. Darcy/Colin Firth fan.

I released my first book at the age of six. It had six postcard-size pages stitched together and bound in velvet paper. The book was titled “Eliza and Robert” and had atrocious mistakes in every single word. Some words were written in mirror image. Unintentionally. I remember being immensely proud of my creation.

Turns out there’s a remarkable constancy to my life: decades later, I still love the name Robert and the genre romance. As for my spelling and grammar, they are only marginally better than at age six (thank God for editors!).

I live and work in Paris, France. When not writing, I read romance (what else?) and spend time with my family.
