Nice read
Burgundy winters in Europe:This is the most relatable novel I have read in recent times. This depicts the darker sides of addiction and realisation. Story plot was with wonderful romance and self acceptance which added sugar to the story.This convertly covered the second chances to the self.We can't conclude this as just romance but this plot taken us to romance city Paris for 15 days where Jace accidentally fell in love with Yasmin. Both carried inside traumas and has paranormal romance in it. They share lot of similarities like before and mysteries covered in it.Book was coloured with bright romance, acceptance, heal, own struggles, secrets and troubled past which made novel gone into next level.Overall book just gave an experience of movie and language is sweet and simple. One can go for it

A comfortable life, is not necessarily a happy life. Similarly, it also makes us aware of the situation of the female lead and how unhealthy family situations lead to depression.The storytelling and the writing style are very meticulous and artistic and make even the moments of struggle look beautiful to the readers. The author has also done a brilliant job bringing the beautiful Europe to the readers. A very beautiful story indeed.

A classic fictional read!!
I've recently completed reading the book, "Burgundy Winters in Europe" which is a classic fictional read with a touch of thrill and adventure as well. The book has been written by Mr. Pranay Patil. The book is based on a plot consisting of a classic turmoil in the lavish life of an American rock star due to his addiction to drugs and substance abuse, followed by a classic love story packed with emotions and romance.The setting of the book's plot is in Europe in the months of winter. The protagonist falls in love with Yasmine when he reaches Europe with his sister in search of who he is. Yasmine has faced a traumatic childhood and hence, both the characters develop a sense of mutual affection backed by different yet similar kinds of traumatic pasts.This book was definitely an amazing read, however, I found this book to be too lengthy at times due to its slowed pace. Overall, it is a must-read book for fiction lovers.

The rise and fall of a rockstar!
Burgundy Winters: in Europe by Pranay Patil is a good phoenix story, in my opinion. The story revolves around Jace Tanner. At the beginning, he is your stereotypical all American rockstar who fell into deep troubles that almost cost him his life. Then, he meets the game changer, Yasmin. I love the love story element of this novel. It gives it a sense of magic but also a glimpse of reality that drugs are not cool! Given that this is based on a true story, I feel it is exciting to see behind the scenes the glamor of being a star. It is a well written piece for a first-time author. Character developments are impressive again knowing that this is based on real characters, their worries are relatable and believable. It's a good read.

Captivating paranormal romance !
Burgundy Winters: in Europe is a quick, fast-paced paranormal romance which captures perfectly the intertwined lives of two deeply flawed characters with troublesome past who connect on a personal level and embrace a future together.Jace Tanner is a famous American rock star guitarist part of Soft Division band. He has reached a point in his life where everything comes crashing down and he has to live with the consequences of his actions as well as those around him. Consumed by grief for the loss of a bandmate, he embarks on a quest for self-forgiveness, peace and healing.The story takes us on a 15-day journey to Europe where Jace is set upon finding his purpose and will to continue. However, destiny has its own agenda and during his trip to the city of love - Paris, Jace meets an incredibly smart and captivating young woman - Yasmine Belmon, who also happens to be their tour guide. Immediately attracted to one another, both characters soon come to realise that their fate is more or less intertwined and they share a lot of similarities.Both carry their fair amount of personal trauma and past mistakes but through each other’s support and understanding, are able to let go and move on. Though throughout the story we follow this quickly blossoming relationship of two “lost” souls, the romance is not a focal point of the book. It is perfectly balanced with its redemption arc and how even in the darkest hours there’s always something better waiting for us at the end of the tunnel.With a little bit of suspense and mystery as well as a fair amount of paranormal events, the author manages to create an incredibly vibrant world which perfectly handles important subject matters such as dealing with grief and teaches readers that it is possible to overcome your personal demons in favour of self-growth and peace. As two people who deeply yearn for love, Jace and Yasmine form a strong bond and relationship build on trust and hope. I enjoyed greatly Pranay Patil’s debut novel and highly recommend to anyone who is in search for a fast-paced, captivating paranormal romance!

‘Daisy Jones and the Six meets paranormal romance’
‘And if this is what love feels like, then I want to be here forever’Burgundy Winters in Europe is a quick, fast paced enlightening read, which handles a matter of important topics at the same time, such as addiction, alcohol and drug abuse. I really enjoyed how the main characters carried us in this magical tour through different countries, including France, Germany, Belgium plus others too. Additionally, I loved how I learnt so much about many attractions and buildings about each place and how the two characters were sharing their secrets across those places making it special for both of them. I also liked the fact that this had dual POV, as I really engaged with reading Yasmine’s POV too! Another thing which I absolutely enjoyed is the paranormal elements of this book and I wish we could see more of it from a bit earlier on. The ending was very cute and emotional and I’m happy with Jace’s decision at the end.The reason why I’m taking 2 stars away is because I felt like the romance was too rushed, which is probably because it was the type of ‘love at first sight’ ‘instant love’ romance which I personally don’t like. So if you like this kind of romance you will definitely like it in this book too, it just wasn’t for me! In addition, whilst I really enjoyed the idea of a band and concerts etc, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t that much of this aspect included in the book. However, the book still manages to entertain you with other elements like the paranormal stuff I mentioned before. Also I feel like the writing wasn’t the strongest part of the book for me which made me enjoy it less than I wanted. Overall, I’m very glad I read this book, not only because I felt like I’ve actually travelled across Europe and learnt a lot about different places, but also because the characters were fun making this read entertaining, as well as the fact that both romance (which is not the main focus) and mental health & other subjects were handled incredibly well! The author has put the right amount of both, balancing everything just right and I’m so glad!

A rollicking novel with depth
Indian author Pranay Patil is an engineer and a social activist assisting the underserved of rural India to get justice. He is alerting the literary world with his debut novel, a book that won the ELA NYC Book Club’s Best Debut Author of 2022. As one resource noted, ‘Pranay has spent the last decade living in extremely inhospitable environments of rural India, understanding and mentoring the underprivileged, giving him unique perspective about the stark contrast between his high society life in the west and his challenges with the grass-root issues of rural eastern folks.’ In other words, he is more just an impressive writer!Pranay has created a memorable character in Jace Tanner, a famous American rock star who is used to the fast paced life, as he begins a transformational journey when his life is toppled by an unexpected death of his best friend from an overdose of drugs. He begins his European odyssey seeking atonement and coping with his life. On a trip to Paris he meets a tour guide, Yasmine Belmont, who will change his fate forever.The question, of course, is whether a first time writer can advance his philosophy in the guise of a novel. The answer is a solid Yes! His style of writing matches the subject matter as even the opening lines attest: ‘Excitement, euphoria, and elation are the emotions I hold at this very moment. I feel so thrilled to be here. The comfort of being with my best buddy and lead vocalist, Aiden Gill, our bassist Russ, and drummer Cross, seems so illusory. At times, I have to remind my self that all of it’s real. Our band, Soft Division, started a few years ago, and I’m the lead guitarist…’ From that high note, the journey begins - a voyage through emotions and discoveries of self and place that not only make a scintillating story, but also provides a source for our own introspection and appreciation for life re-thought. The lad has a fine career ahead! Highly recommended. Grady Harp, April 22
