A Love Letter to Paris by Rebecca Raisin
A Love Letter to Paris by Rebecca Raisin
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?

My Review
Lilou was an easy character to fall in love with. Her day job involved delving into the past, sourcing and selling antique letters and diaries that shared intimate information and spoke of long-ago romances. She is old-fashioned enough to mourn the loss of the handwritten letter, yet up to date enough to set up an online dating service with a difference. Her idea is to take couples back to the slow and steady courtships found within the letters she sells, and she pours her heart into finding them the right match. Add in characters with charm and humour, as well as interesting secrets, all set not just in Paris, but in the antique paradise that is the St Ouen market, and I could happily have moved into the pages of this book and lived alongside them. As the story progresses, hearts are revealed and tantalising slowly, so is the mystery of the secret admirer.

Every time I picked it up, I was wrapped in a warm fuzzy glow, whisked away from real life and could feel the smile playing on my lips. This has to be the most romantic book I’ve read in a long while, and yet there is barely a kiss.
If you need a romantic break to Paris this summer, start with this book, it’s another cracking read from Rebecca Raisin.
