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 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.


My Thoughts

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel is one of the best romantic novels written by Rebecca Raisin this is one of those books that you will want to read over and over again. The plot was quite simple, but the characters were well thought through and well written. It would be fascinating to stay a night at the secret library hotel for sure! I truly enjoyed reading this and I know you will too.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

BLURB FROM BOOK 1

Where they rest for eternal life is where a favor is asked.
The stone with the head is where you will be led.
Be certain of the favor you ask, no second is offered.
The debt will be collected when the favor is complete.
A favor asked is a debt owed.

My mom marrying Thomas Valerian was supposed to be our fresh start, but it was the opposite of that.

So far, I’ve been treated like my stepbrother’s new toy, taunted by his friends, and chased by masked men. The leader of the masked men breaks into my room at night, calls me his little witch while ravishing me. Something about him is familiar…

Now my mom has been taken and I’m in debt to the Filthy Few!

BLURB: 

She’s a girl fresh out of juvie, and he’s a boy who never got to speak. Together, they are forbidden, and while he is finding his voice, she discovers her peace.

Broken, and branded a lost cause, with fire in her eyes and a spirit that refuses to die, she is handed a second chance she doesn’t want. She’s adopted into a house with a picture-perfect family. But inside those walls lives an imperfect eighteen-year-old son, who is mute. With no friends and no freedom, the only things he loves are his bike and the long roads he rides. 

He doesn’t need words to haunt her. He doesn’t need to speak to watch her every move. Behind his silence, he is chaos wrapped in ruin, and in her, he sees the same.

They are not blood, but they are forbidden. Together, they are dangerous, drawn by a hunger that shouldn't exist. When engines roar and secrets come to light, their world becomes something violently alive.

“Ride or die. Love with no breaks.”

Either way… someone's going down.

I have it all. Star athlete, popular girlfriend, perfect life.

Then Arkin Reeves moves into my bedroom.

He’s silent, guarded, and haunted by a past I can’t begin to understand.

A past that stole his voice.

My parents say he needs a place to stay.

I say he’s a nightmare who needs to go.

At first, I hate him and the unwelcome emotions he evokes.

He watches me. Always quiet, always there.

And he has his sights set on me.

I thought I could resist this pull between us.

This undeniable attraction that gets under my skin and into my thoughts.
