A heartwarming bookish romance from the bestselling author of Summer at the Santorini Bookshop, Rebecca Raisin!

Perfect for fans of Sarah Morgan, Eliza J. Scott and Lucy Score!

Coco is having a hell of a month. She’s lost her boyfriend and her business, been forced to uproot her daughter to move back in with her parents in Paris, and now an infuriatingly handsome stranger is yelling at her for acting like a tourist… Right underneath the Eiffel Tower.

Storming away from him – and swearing off men for life – she decides she’s going to take the first job that comes her way.

Then, as if fate hears her, later that day she stumbles into a little bookshop – but not any old bookshop. This one comes complete with a café, cocktail bar, reading room and secret tunnel of books, and just a little hint of magic in the air. So when Coco’s offered a job selling books there, it feels like the perfect fit.

There’s only one problem… propping up the bar in the bookshop is none other than the grumpy, gorgeous stranger she’d met earlier that day…

I am loving Rebecca Raisin's Paris set books and this was no exception. 

And its a must for book lovers, as what is better than a bookshop that appears to possibly mend broken hearts.  Or that broken hearted and lonely people seem to gravitate towards without even realising. 

Coco has moved back to Paris with teen daughter Eloise, after she is caught up in a scandal and needs to regroup.  However Eloise is not so happy about it, and her storyline is one that many teens would relate to, in addition to anyone that remembers that age of their own lives. 

Coco stumbles across this bookshop and is offered a job there, so long as she can control the rather unruly bookclub - which I'm fairly sure have featured in one of the authors books before (at least they seemed so familiar to me that I have to believe that or I'm rather confused). 

Coco also keeps running into Henri, who I really took too. He's gorgeous, bookish and some of the dialogue between them is hilarious, although after their first few meetings she is less sure about him. 

I loved everything about this book, and it really made my heart sing as I read it.  Another Parisian masterpiece from this talented author. 

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