The Paris Bookshop for the Broken Hearted

 ðŸ’–💖💖💖💖/5


Coco loses everything she has built, her connections with long time authors to her finances because of her ex boyfriend Alexandre. This forces her to move with her daughter, Eloise, from London back to Paris for a fresh start. Eloise does not agree to this move and Coco does not have the heart to share why they are moving from London to Paris.

 

When they first arrive in Paris, she runs into a disagreeable man. After failing at finding another job, she wanders the city only to end up near the Eiffel Tower. Standing there an exasperatingly handsome stranger yells at her for acting like a tourist, as she is pick-pocketed. Storming away from him, and swearing off men for life, she decides she’s going to take the first job that comes her way.

As if fate hears her, later that day she stumbles down an alley and discovers a little bookshop. This is not any old bookshop; this one comes complete with a café, cocktail bar, reading room and secret tunnel of books, all with just a little hint of magic in the air. When Coco is offered a job selling books there, it feels like the perfect fit. There is only one problem, sitting at a table in the bookshop is none other than the grumpy, gorgeous stranger she’d met earlier that day, Henri.

I loved all the other characters too not just Coco and Henri; the bookshop owner Valerie, each of the members of the shop’s book club, Henri’s daughter Liz, and even Coco’s parents. Everyone who came into the bookshop had a story to tell; broken hearts don’t only affect those in love. Each character has a backstory and added something to the story.

Ms. Raisin has written an amazing, heartwarming story set in a magical Parisian bookshop that is a wonderful tale of second chances, love, and the transformative power of books. If you enjoy stories about finding yourself, unexpected romance, and the healing power of literature, The Paris Bookshop for the Broken Hearted is a must-read.

Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting

 ðŸ’–💖💖💖💖/5 Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting is a college hockey romance between a super outgoing hockey star and an introverted girl who writes sizzling hot LoTR fanfic in her spare time.   Cammie Lovelock has a crush on Chase Lovett but has always felt invisible to the popular crowd. A fire in their dorm sends all the students to a nearby hotel until damages are repaired and she ends up rooming with her hockey crush Chase; thanks to having the gender neutral first name of Cameron. To make matters worse, there is only one bed. It might have accidently started with these two opposites rooming together, but it led to a wonderful, sizzling hot relationship; one where they are there for each other.   I loved the sibling and friend connections this book had to the Toronto Terror series. Getting glimpses of some of our favorite Terror characters was perfect. I can’t wait to see where this series goes ; especially to read Tally and Brody’s stories.   REA...
