But if Agent Paris Beaufont doesn’t solve it, then it could perish worldwide.

It turns out there’s something in the water…

And the food…

To fix this problem, Paris will have to solve the biggest mystery ever.

Can Paris Beaufont save this small town and all the love it has to offer?

This was another fun instalment in the Unconventional Agent Beaufont series. I love how Paris's family and friends all rally in to help out.
With Jackson Zelle on the loose, Paris needs to save a town before it's too late. In normal fashion, it's not that simple and Paris undertakes a couple of adventures to get the ingredients needed for the antidote...and just when you think things will turn out, another twist comes along.
Paris is also still trying to fix the feud between Subfar and Subner and this was another adventure in itself.
I love the banter between Mother Nature and Father Time, it continues to amuse.

Paris and Faraday to the rescue again

Jackson Zelle is up to his old tricks trying to destroy love. His newest target is the town where his mother came from. Everyone has become nihilistic which has caused the love meter to bottom out in the town.

It's up to Pare and Fare to find a solution and revive everyone from their zombie like state.

Paris also has to sort out the Subner and Subfar problem, so she enlists Sophia and Lunis to help.

Action, snark and really bad jokes makes this a great read - and yes, I did cry at the end (again lol)

Paris and Faraday have to go through many hoops, in order to save a whole town from Nihilism.

In order to do this, Paris turns to her loved ones, both family and friends, to get their help to obtain the rare ingredients, that will go into a solution, that Faraday will create, to vaccine the people, animals, water, and land, affected by this awful lack of emotion.

I think that the one thing I love most about Paris, is that she's still humble enough to acknowledge that she needs help, in order to continue to do the things needed, to keep the Love Meter from dropping low.

Once again, she is having to complete many tasks at once, in order to further Love's path for so many people, and she leans a lot on those people around her, who hold the same views on life, Love, and how it keeps our World turning.

This series seems to get better with every single book I read in it, and I'm thoroughly enjoying Paris' emotional journeying, too, where she is having to face up to some painful truths of her life, in order to find the happiness that she works so hard to make sure everyone else has.

Unfortunately, I'm almost at the end of this series, but I do still have others that Sarah wrote, before these ones, to read.

I'll be going straight on now, to book eight: The Courageous Believer, in order to find out if, or when, Paris manages to take down her nemesis.

So I'll see you on the flip side, to let you know what I think,!

This is yet another fantastic addition to this incredible series. Paris is one of my favourite Beaufonts though I do love them all!! She’s a cracking agent whose only mission is to save love and get funding and i dare anyone to stand in her way. Even when a small town finds itself in danger Paris dives in to solve the mystery and save the day. Suspenseful, mysterious, fun and twists and turns galore, this is one hell of an adventure and one hell of a ride. The authors do such a great job not only with the storyline but also with the world building so much so that you find yourself lost into this world to fight for love alongside these incredible characters.

Paris is now the Director of the Advanced Love department which has been closed down for a long time, so she has to restore it.

She also has to figure out how to get Subner to give up his grudge against his brother Subfar, so that Subfar can create an income system for the FGA.

And Jackson Zelle is still out there perpetrating one of his evil plans to either destroy or take over the world.

Another great story, but I have a question. Maybe I missed it or just don’t get it, but who/what is the Affectionate Monster?

Fave scenes: Paris meeting her new employees, Paris & the cookie, Hemingway waking up Paris and Agent Opal’s thought about Paris.

They do it again

Once again Sarah and Michael had me immersed in the Paris world. As she saved more love and went on both scary and mysterious adventures. Watching her inspire her unusual employees is a lot of fun. Enjoy!
