But when she arrives at the Airbnb, Tessa is stunned to find someone is already there. Her ex’s best friend Ethan has made himself at home, being told that the place would be empty.
As it’s Paris Fashion Week, and with no other options, they agree to share the apartment. Neither will be in the place much after all, with Ethan taking a cookery course and Tessa on a hard deadline to finish her novel.
But sharing close nights in a one bed apartment, there’s an undeniable pull towards one another.
Will Tessa be able open her heart, and her laptop, ever again?
A gorgeous romance set in the city of love, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren.

My review
I felt for Tessa from the beginning of this book. How can a romance writer finish her latest novel, when her heart has been broken by her ex-boyfriend and she no longer feels the love for anything. Heading to Paris alone was part running away from her publisher and the looming deadline, part to give her the head space to recover. Finding Ethan might have been an unwelcome addition to her Paris apartment, but he was thoughtful, had extensive knowledge of Paris, especially the places every romance author should be visiting, and he was pretty handy in the kitchen too. It could have been a worse mix-up.
What followed was an hilarious, light-hearted escape to the City of Love, with more than a bit of magic from the fabulous characters, especially the very Parisian, Juliette. It was an addictive read, that got my temperature rising and left me with a huge grin on my face.

Behind the steamy emotions were the serious messages about loving ourselves and finding someone who we can be ourselves around, as well as the importance of having a good friendship network to rely on when things get tough. Tessa certainly had a lot to learn, both about herself, and the difference between a tall, dark and handsome love rat and a man who knows how to treat a lady.
What a book to start my 2025 reading journey with, if this is a taste of what’s to come from Boldwood Books this year then I can’t wait! This might be the first Victoria Walters book I’ve read, but it won’t be the last.
