About the Book:
Can you ever swear off love, in the city of love?
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…
My Review:
I jumped at the chance to read this lovely book when I saw the beautiful cover and the word “bookshop” in the title. I have no regrets judging this book by its cover! This is wonderful romantic fiction that is more than just romance. Here we have the themes of mother-daughter relationships. (And as a mother of a teen, I really appreciated this aspect. As well the funny bits about all the slang this generation uses!). In addition, I love stories of folks starting over and Coco’s story is entertaining and multi-layered. There’s some found family elements (with the formation of a new friend group), and my most favorite trope of all: enemies to lovers. And readers get all of those wonderful literary elements along with the vibrant setting of Paris. Get ready for a delightful bookish escape!
About the Author:
Rebecca Raisin writes heartwarming romance from her home in sunny Perth, Australia. Her heroines tend to be on the quirky side and her books are usually set in exotic locations so her readers can armchair travel any day of the week. The only downfall about writing about gorgeous heroes who have brains as well as brawn, is falling in love with them–just as well they’re fictional. Rebecca aims to write characters you can see yourself being friends with.People with big hearts who care about relationships and believe in true, once-in-a-life time love.
