I really enjoyed these two characters and their blossoming romance. My only downfall is that I wish there had been some more detail on who they were as individuals as well as who they are together. But this was a truly romantic read. Giving it four stars!

This was such a sweet romance and an enjoyable read! It’s a great debut novel and I’ll definitely be looking for the next books from this author. While the story takes place more or less over a week, the insta-love romance felt natural and believable. It was full of romance, secrets and a deep understanding of chronic diseases/disorders portrayed in a respectful way. This book really captured my heart since the first pages and the descriptions of Paris made me feel like I was right there with the main characters. It’s a fun, sweet, story that I recommend to anyone who is a big romance fan.

The story is told in dual pov and this books has several tropes such as love at first sight, forced proximity and soulmates.
I had a good time reading this book.

Finished ✔️ The Paris Soulmate by Brooke Gilbert

4 ⭐️’s
Kindle Unlimited: Yes

The twists and turns, the laugh out loud moments, the heart warming story, I could not put this down once I started reading.
I absolutely loved this book!
This is amazing in more ways then one!
A lovely gem of a book!
A romantic novel that gave a voice to those that struggle with illness and insecurity, while truly fulfilling the “when you know, you know” aspect of a romance.
What I loved most was the author’s overall writing, heartfelt message, & disability representation.
Yes, I’d recommend

I really enjoyed reading this book. The character’s development throughout the story was stunning.

Christine and Colin’s story is a true story of very real love. From the auto-immune disorders and the thoughtfulness and love that these characters exhibited towards one another was hands down the best love story.

This book was filled with hopes, dreams, mental health discussions and awareness, autoimmune disorders representation and just a beautiful romance in Paris.

Thank you Brooke and Netgalley for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!!


Thank you for the chronic disability representation in this!! This was a really fun premise, and I really appreciated getting Colin’s POV sprinkled throughout. I think understanding Colin’s side of the story from the beginning really helped understand these characters and intentions. I also loved the authors note at the end, and the background for this story.

The first couple times I tried to read this book, I couldn’t get into it but that’s mainly because it was quite triggering as I also suffer from an autoimmune disease and I know some people love books that spread awareness about things they can relate to… however, I don’t. I read to escape the “real life” and that’s totally a reflection on me and not on the author or the book.

The story was overall very sweet and I’m glad I pushed through the uncomfortableness on my end.

It was a big cheesy and slow at times but what romance novels aren’t?

I have been trying to read romcoms the last while as my anxiety had been a bit more elevated than usual. This is the story of Christine and Colin. Lola is concerned about her bestie travelling to Paris on her own so she secretly hired Colin as a guardian escort to keep her bestie safe with her knowing.

The whirlwind romance practically starting at the beginning and didn’t feel very realistic but I was somewhat ok with it as I was looking for an easy read.

Unfortunately I was disappointed that there was no information from the onset that this was a Christian based romance book. There are many people who are not Christian who don’t feel comfortable reading books that are faith based. The choice should be given to the reader to make prior to reading it. For this reason alone I would urge there to be more transparency. The book feel dishonest and a like bait and switch for this reason. So I can’t recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the character development, the writing flowed so well and it had me hooked the entire time!

Thank you so much for allowing me to read and review your titles. I really enjoy the opportunity!

I do appreciate it and continue to review books that I get the chance to read.
Thanks again!

I loved the premise of this book! Christine is finally doing something for herself on her own, despite her chronic illness. This proves what a brave person she is and how far she has come coping with her illness. I loved that her character is so real and that she has this chronic illness, it makes her character so much more believable and relatable. She meets a "stranger" on the plane and this is where the romance begins. It almost seemed a little unbelievable at how fast they fall for each other. I loved following their travels through Paris and France! I learned about wonderful places I didn't know existed! Reading this book was like taking a mini vacation! The only thing that was a minus for me was how handsome they were in public, on the plane, restaurants, in front of total strangers; but they were in the City of Love.

I love story’s in Paris! This one is so funny, I love this book
Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the book

A woman with autoimmune disorders & a "no dating policy." A mysterious, cocky British stranger. A dream trip to Paris. What could go wrong?

Reeling from the reality of turning 30 soon, Christine decides to take her bucket list trip. She has always dreamed of going back to Paris, but since being diagnosed with several rare autoimmune disorders, she never imagined she would get the chance to return.

Now she finds herself on her way to the city of love with an unexpected surprise. An extremely handsome British stranger seems to have mysteriously fallen onto her path.

Is it just a coincidence they are both traveling to the city of love at the same time? It all seems too good to be true.

If you like clean romance novels, feel-good novels, and romantic comedy books for women, then you'll love The Paris Soulmate.
I fell in love with this story. From start to finish, I was addicted to find out what was going to happen next for Christina and Colin. If you love romance then this story is for you.

What do I even say about this one? If you're a sucker for romance and Paris like me, then definitely don't miss this one.

"It doesn't matter how long you've known a person, Don't ever question that. What matters is how your hearts feel together. How they fit together."

If there is ever a sequel to this one, we absolutely NEED to see the absolutely epic friendship between Colin and Lola. Pretty please.

As always, thank you @netgalley

It was a meh, boring to read for me. I thought the fmc had personality at all, the mmc, was tolerable at best.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for an eARC in exchange of a honest review of the book.

The Paris Soulmate is a wonderful story of a woman who has several autoimmune conditions but decides to take a trip to Paris in spite of them. She meets a charming Brit who comes to her aid and they form a relationship, but is he really who he says he is? I loved this novel as someone who suffers with several invisible illnesses, it was great to see someone like myself {although much younger!), take the chance on herself. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a fun and smart love story! I really enjoyed this reading this novel, it really is the perfect holiday read...

I'm so sorry. I really, desperately wanted to love this book because it sounded like the type of thing I would love... but it's not for me. To me, the insta-love thing is really unsatisfying and rushed, and a lot of the dialogue (especially from the side characters) feels too unrealistic for me to suspend my disbelief. I like a love interest with obvious flaws and the male interest in this book feels too infallible. Also......PDA on an airplane, bleh.

However, I appreciate that the author took this as an opportunity to represent a character with illlnesses. We need more of that in literature. And I can appreciate the idea of proving to yourself that you're capable of doing things you don't expect yourself to do and that you are worthy as you are.

I haven't finished the book (I got to about 50%), but unfortunately I don't think I will be able to. It's not my cup of tea, but I'm sure many fans of romance (especially love at first sight) will love this!

Thank you to NetGallery, the author and the publisher for this advance reader copy. I quite enjoy this one very much! It’s was light and fun I finished it in a day. I loved the Paris setting since it’s one of my dream locations to travel and the author made me feel like I was there watching from far. Loved it !!

It was a cute read, unexpected love in an unexpected way.

I loved the main character's and how the author wrote their story with lots of highs and lows, I was rooting for their love story. This was a quick read for me and I found myself fully invested in the outcome . I love that the author writes her main character with autoimmune diseases…..the often silent sickness that others can’t see.

Things I LOVED
•The realness of the character: Real fears and insecurities
•Disability Rep:
•Actual depth of conversation between MC’s
•Gorgeous Parisian Setting

I also really liked the little map of the places in Paris as well as the movie list, yin yoga positions and the playlist that all added to the story. I can not stress enough how amazing a read this was, a heart warming story.

Definitely recommended <3
