I enjoyed this story, but I must confess it wasn't because of Zach and Angelo. I'm just not a big fan of Zach, really. That being said, I did enjoy the sweet moments between them, but the best part of the story for me was Cole. I love him so much. In the end, even Matt had to love him! I think my favorite lines were the vows...so simple, so perfect **tears** then it was George's surprise at the reception dinner that had me laughing!

Matt and Jared's sex scene...WOWZA!! Slamp dunk, Ma More...

5 stars for the Matt and Jared scenes and 5 stars for the Cole and Jon scenes. 10 stars for Cole picking on Matt at the dinner table)

For those of you who are huge fans of Zach and Angelo, you will probably love this book. I, unfortunately, am not a fan. I knew beforehand the book was about Zach and Ang, but there was no way I would miss reading about my other favorite couples.

So this story basically tries to wrap up Zach and Ang's weird relationship. Although, a lot of conf More...

This book, was disappointing...I did not like Zach's character, his whole thing was just strange.

Cole was lovely, but there was not nearly enough of him and Jon, and Matt's bitching got on my nerves.

I love Marie Sexton... Promises and Strawberries for Dessert are two of my favorite...but I just couldn't like Zach. More...

This is my second review of this book.

I read it yesterday and I gave it one star only because I was disappointed. I was expecting too much because I loved Promises and Strawberries for Dessert a lot. I thought we would have a lot more of Jon and Cole, I just love this couple. I bought Paris A to Z because of them.

But there was too much of Angelo and Zach and not enough of Jon and Cole. I don't like Angelo and Zach much. I find that when Zach does not behave like a door More...

4.5 stars

What a wonderful end to such a great series. I have always loved all three couples, though it took me a while to realize that Ang and Zach relationship worked for them, no matter how little I understood it at the time. I suppose time does that -- what passes for months or years can pass for a few hours in a novel, so I don't always take to the issues right away, or understand the characters' reactions to them. I suppose that is a benefit of a series. So, that's why I loved More...

Kassa rated it:

I want to be sad that a fabulous series (Coda Books) has ended but the concluding novella, Paris A to Z, wraps everything and everyone up so well that I feel satisfied and happy. The story could have been longer and had more Jonathan and Cole but really that’s just getting greedy since the story is nearly pitch perfect in offering solid happy endings to everyone. In some ways the various arc are the inevitable conclusions to the growth that each character has over the course of the series. Angel More...

Jennifer rated it:

This was a book meant to end a series. I think it accomplished that, however, I feel like it was rushed and there should have been more. Maybe that's just because I wanted there to be more who knows.
This book was mainly another Zach and Angelo book. It seems their relationship needed 3 books to tell their story. I felt like a book supposedly about Jon and Cole's wedding should have had more than a few lines thrown in about it. It was as if the author realized she needed to mention it as she More...

There are not many books not to mention the whole series of them that got under my skin as much as this series did. I don't care what people say about Angelo or Jon...nobody is perfect and despite that all those brilliant characters in these books found someone who is perfect just for them. I loved this story and the dynamics between all three couples was magical for me...just as the whole series was

Eyre rated it:

I love all the men in the Coda series, but I have soft spots for Cole and Angelo. I love Cole's personality. He's just a guy whom you can't help adoring. Angelo touches me with his insecurities and with they way he doesn't even realize just how special he is.

<sigh> This one was wonderful!! It's the sixth book of the Coda series and is about closure but also about beginings. Zach and Angelo and Matt and Jared are on their way to Paris for Cole and Jonathan's wedding(Strawberries for Dessert). Matt's not at all happy to see Cole again but Cole is Jared's best friend, and he'll do anything for Jared. And the thought of being in the presence of Jonathan for a week, especially after the disasterous trip to Vegas and Angelo's feelings about Jonathan More...

Here begins my review with a fangirl-y reaction: Oh my god! Jonathan! Cole! Wedding! Paris! ...and Zach and Angelo and Matt and Jared and goddamned UST.

A lot of writers make me laugh. A lot of writers make me cry. A lot of writers make my heart clench. A lot of writers make my gut twist and turn and get tied up in knots. A lot of writers are freaking amazing. Marie Sexton did all of this to me... all at the same time.

I don't know what I was expecting from this book, seeing as More...

This isn't exactly a coherent review - I'm still under impression. :)

I adore this series. And this book is a perfect ending to it. You will laugh (Matt & Cole!), cry (Zach & Jon, Zach & Angelo), you will melt (all of them). I started the book with the feeling of revisiting all friends and closed it perfectly content. Not because it is certain that Ms. Sexton will write more about the guys, because it isn't, but because I know I will be revisiting them again and again - every time I r More...

Another installment of the Coda Series. In this one, the gang all travels to Paris for Jonathan & Cole's wedding. The story in narrated by Zach & Matt. In this book, Matt is once again faced with his jealousy over Cole. Zach has to deal with his feelings toward Jonathan and his relationship with Angelo.

When all was said and done I laughed and cried during this book. I missed having the voice of one of the grooms in this book, since everyone was all together it would have been fu More...

This is a story that is about Cole and Jon getting "married" in Paris but it's not their book which is kind of strange. It's really a book about Zach and Angelo and ultimately it's a book that ties up all the loose ends. The problem is that it left me feeling unsatisfied.

The good part is that a lot of the relationships got worked out and settled between the guys. It is hard to believe that Cole and Matt could really be friends but I did love the way that Jared helped Matt c More...

Paris A to Z has us returning to Zach and Angelo, two characters previously met in A to Z, Jared and Matt, from Promises, and Cole and Jonathon from Strawberries for Dessert. This time, of course, the scene is Paris, and the boys have grown up a little bit, showing an open acceptance, and appreciation, of what their significant other requires. Cole is the catalyst for this little getaway, surprising the four; Zach and Angelo, Jared and Matt; with flights to the city of love for his commitment ce More...

Jonathan and Cole have a surprise for Jared, Matt, Zach and Angelo. They are getting married in Paris and want the guys to come, all expenses paid. Of course Matt and Zach would rather gouge their eyes out with a spoon than be around Jonathan and Cole, however for their guys they agree to go and have to spend basically a week with the two in Paris and Jonathan's Dad who Zach thought hated him. The primary focus here is on Zach and Angelo still as Zach copes with the way his relationship ended wi More...

Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. Some parts I laughed, some cried and some felt just as angry as Matt that no one else was getting how he felt. I was relieved when Matt finally figured it out for himself. When Jon and Zach finally talked I cried. While Zach was crying so was I. I just enjoyed this book so much. It made its way as second favorite in the series to me. Promises will always be my favorite in this series. Call me sentimental because its the first but still this one he More...

In this book our four men travel to Paris to attend Cole and Jonathan's wedding. From the get go, you know this book is going to be full of drama. I still love Matt and Jared. The epiphany that Matt has in this book is very revealing and Jared is still the sweetest. Zach and Angelo grow into their relationship and while they are still devoted to each other, I am not as comfortable with their relationship as I am with Matt and Jared. As a voyeur, Zach does not experience jealousy and his att More...

I loved it. Loved it! Too short but loved it. It was so great to read about all the couples and see where they were at in their lives. Zach's coming to terms with how his relationship ended with Jon, Ang's love for Zach, Zach's almost worship of Ang, Matt and Jared's steady love even with Matt's jealousy, Jon and Cole's wedding, just awesome! Thrilled that Matt is more comfortable in his skin in regards to the sexual side of their relationship. Just loved it and want more! :)

Four and three-quarter stars. Marie Sexton has such a way with emotions, of getting to the heart of a relationship. I loved how in such a short period characters grew. It felt organic. My one real negative was that the book was too short. I want....more. (Yes, very Oliver Twist of me :)

I'm madly crossing my fingers that Marie Sexton will take us back to Coda. In the interim, I'll just have to re-read my favourite scenes (which is most of Promises :)

This was so great and I really hope it's not the end to the series - I could just keep read about these boys all the time, plus I didn't get Jared's POV in this one and that is a must. *winks at Marie* It was a great story though and I loved having all the couples there with their worries and fears and humour and priceless banter. Some very important ends were tied up but I'm sure we could find a few to loosen and retie, couldn't we? :)

I'll probably write more after I let it settle for a while. But for now, I was laughing in the beginning with the boys' banter when they arrived in Paris. Later I cried for Zach and Angelo - not just choked up, but stop and wipe my eyes tears. But the ending left me on a happy note, knowing the guys are all going to be okay. Thanks for writing a wonderful story to end a wonderful series, Marie. Though I do hope you plan a revisit someday. ;-)

Oh, how I adore these characters. I feel like I can't say enough how much I love this series, so I'll just say that this was a terrific addition.

This story had me a little worried after reading the previous books. It's a somewhat awkward situation with current couples and past lovers gathering together for Jon and Cole's wedding. In the end, though, I think it was a necessary for all of them to move forward.

Of all the couples, after A to Z I felt like Zach and Angelo wer More...

A great end (or so we think) to the series. The scene around the table discussing Matt catching up with the rest of them on who he's slept with was just priceless. And I cried along with Zach in the end. Wish it could have been longer (purely out of selfishness because I didn't want it to end), but I think it was done right as a novella (much to my dismay). 5 stars, because I know I'll reread it eventually.
