Turn a tumbledown Paris hotel into a perfect boutique, bookish retreat, and have it open for Christmas? What could possibly go wrong?
When Anais receives a near-derelict Paris hotel in her divorce settlement, her first thought is to tidy it up and sell it immediately. All she wants is to move on and forget her disaster of a marriage ever happened.

But selling it proves impossible, so she has only one option: to make it gorgeous and open by Christmas… when her funds will almost certainly run out.

She’s not counting on the grumpy American bar-owner next door, Noah, coming and interfering at every moment though. Nor is she expecting to find a mysterious room – which holds the key to a one-hundred-year-old secret – about a woman who chose love against the odds.

One thing’s for sure… as the fairy lights twinkle all over the city of lights and the first snowflakes start to fall… this will be a Christmas in Paris to remember.

A totally gorgeous, escapist romantic comedy, with an unforgettable mystery! A perfect festive read for fans of Emily Henry and Sarah Morgan to curl up with this winter.

Christmas...
Paris,...
Romance...
A big mystery to add intrigue...
Rom-com Writer who keeps trying to murder her leading man...

...Ok so all of these are big plus points for this wonderful story, and the murderous thoughts that Anais is having, is due to her coming out of a messy divorce with not much more than a run down hotel and a severe case of writers block. 

Anais and cousin Manon are determined to get the hotel up and running for a soft launch just before Christmas, and the ideas Anais has for this hotel... well let's just say I think every book lover will be wishing this hotel was real. 

And in getting it set up we are treated to a literary tour of Paris, which was fascinating and again will appeal to any book lover. 

Add in Noah who runs the bar next to the hotel who Anais shoots her mouth off at every time he appears, plus Manon's love of true crime, and you have a funny, romantic and rather festive treat of a story. 

It was a sheer delight to spend time between the pages of this book. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
