‘Late at night when I wander the streets of Paris, my thoughts turn to her… How do I tell her how I feel? Perhaps, I need to show her…’

The pretty little streets of Montmartre are abuzz with a rumour. Apparently a mystery matchmaker, known only as ‘Paris Cupid’, has somehow helped the city’s most famous bachelor find love.

But old-fashioned romantic Lilou is staying very quiet. She’d just wanted to set up her best friend, and to get on with her life selling whimsical old love letters, in Paris’s famous St. Ouen market.

She hadn’t imagined her little Paris Cupid project could ever have attracted so many people looking for true, heartfelt romance. Though the truth is that Lilou adores helping people find the right person. Even if her own love life is nothing short of disastrous.

But then a message arrives. And it’s just for her. Someone is in love with her. Someone who knows her secret. But they’re keeping their own identity secret too… Could it be from cheerful, talkative, flame-haired Felix? Or quiet, beautifully handsome Benoit? Or even Pascale – who drives Lilou mad every day?

After so long of helping others find their soulmate, is it time for Lilou to find love of her own in Paris herself?

A totally gorgeous, escapist romcom, set in the most romantic city in the world. Perfect for fans of Emily in Paris.

Well this made me fall in love with Paris, with love letters, with romance, with Paris Cupid and a whole lot more. 

It's just so gorgeously romantic from cover to cover, not just for Lilou who may be at the centre of the grandest of all grand gestures, but for everyone Lilou is trying to help. 

As she is behind Paris Cupid a new dating service, and is managing to matchmake all sorts of people with a great degree of success. But that's just her sideline, her main occupation is running a market stall in Montmartre which focuses on prayer books and love letters from a time gone by. 

I also loved the other stalls in her corner of the market, and really enjoyed the way Benoit spoke about stamps (I might have enjoyed philately as a hobby in the past myself). 

And seeing how she manages to make so many people that are in her life happy is a real joy to see. 

It's just an utterly charming, delightful and simply wonderful story, with a unique concept and I loved every single word of this book. 

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