This was a fun little christmas-ish story following our main character, Anaise, as she navigates an emotional divorce. Anaise is a part French woman who married the wrong man, and he wants to make her life very difficult in this divorce. She’s left with almost nothing but does get their shabby run down hotel that they bought together. In this story we follow her and her bff/cousin as they aim to fix up the hotel! Along the way we meet a grumpy but intriguing man who owns the neighbouring business, a mystery of a hidden room in the hotel and winter magic.

For me this just wasn’t what I personally like in a Christmas book! It didn’t quite know if it wanted to be a romance, drama or mystery. And I like a whole lot more festivity in a cozy Christmas read. I do love Rebecca’s writing though and adore her other books. I think this will be great for those trying to slowly dip their toes into a light Christmas read!

I loved Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel. It combined two of my greatest loves Christmas and books. This is a do not miss holiday book.

This is a sweet, Christmas-themed, feel good, second act romance. Anais is picking up the pieces after a nasty divorce and ends up with a rundown hotel in Paris. She and her delightfully snarky cousin deal with renovations, an infuriating neighbor, and a literary mystery in the run up to the holidays. The characters are believable and likeable, and you get lovely glimpses of living in Paris. The dramatic twists at the end aren’t particularly dramatic, but that didn’t bother me as the characters worked towards their happy endings. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. All views are entirely my own.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel by Rebecca Raisin. How could I not fall in love with this book about my favorite city written by one of my favorite writers?! It is a delight!
