I really enjoyed this book. It is set in one of my new favorite cities, Paris. I loved recognizing the areas around Paris that the characters were living in and shopping in. Anais is an interesting MFE. She is coming off of a divorce where all she ended up with was a run down boutique hotel. She decides that she has to get it fixed up by Christmas (which is a short amount of time) and finish her rough draft of her next romcom. The hotel is a great distraction as she isn't feeling very romantic at this time due to the divorce and deadbeat ex. Also there is her neighbor, Noah. Highly recommend reading this one to get into the holiday mood.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for advanced copy, and I give my review freely.

What a wonderful Christmas story set in Paris. Anais has just gone through a divorce and as part of the divorce settlement instead of her lovely home she was able to have the hotel that they had bought with a hefty mortgage. The only problem is it’s not in a great state however Anais, who is a published writer, decides to renovate as best she can on a limited budget so that she can have some guests for Christmas. During this renovation Anais finds some hidden rooms and finds herself trying to find out more about who lived in them, with help from her neighbour Noah, who although grumpy is also a fellow book lover so is happy to help. I loved the way there was a mix of mystery in regards to who previously lived at the hotel and the characters such as Manon, Anais’ cousin, with her dry sense of humour and the ideas that Anais came up with for her hotel, I would love to stay there!
A lovely warming festive story.
Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for a ch ace to review this book with opinions all my own.

This will possibly sound a bit gushing but I loved this book. In fact, I struggled to put it down. I love when Rebecca sets books in Paris so that was already an easy win but this book has so many different aspects to it and they all work wonderfully together. There’s obviously Paris, Anais and Manon, then you add Noah from next door, the hotel itself, the contractors, the antiques and mysteries, Anais’s ex-husband and that’s just the characters. In addition to all of that you have the overarching story of Anais trying to rebuild/get her life back on track after her divorce from her weasel of an ex (not a spoiler honest!) and not once does it get confusing or muddled or too much to deal with.

The whole combination was just blissful and oddly very cosy. I wouldn’t have thought a story of which a large part is a hotel renovation would be cosy but this one definitely is. I also loved all the literary references. I’ve not read any, I don’t think, of the authors mentioned but I’ve heard of many of them and am now tempted to hunt down a few of their books to expand my reading even further. The descriptions of Paris and all the things we associate with it, like the food, were brilliant and just added even more to the overall feel of the book. I loved watching Anais grow and develop in this fabulous setting. She definitely had some hurdles to overcome and while her struggles were so realistic, her approach was inspiring and I enjoyed all of it.

Books are somewhere we can escape from the world, something that can transport us somewhere else and this book does exactly that. I genuinely felt like I was in Paris in the hotel with Anais, I could hear the noise of the contractors working on the hotel, smell the croissants and feel the excitement at uncovering and rediscovering parts of the hotel. My favourite book of Rebecca’s has, for a long time, been The Little Bookshop on the Seine but it’s now got competition from this book, they might have to share the top spot. I loved this book and it’s a firm re-read for me. If you want cosy, mysterious, frustrating and joyful, plus perfect escapism (and Paris), this is the book for you.

Paris and Christmas in a book....what's not to love!!!

Best selling author Anais has been duped by her conniving ex husband in their divorce settlement and is now the not so proud owner of a very dilapidated Paris hotel. Christmas is approaching and she needs to get it open to guests as quickly as possible to start making money. Her publisher is hounding her for her next book and nearby bar owner Noah only adds to her woes...or does he??

With her cousin Manon, she sets about transforming the hotel and makes discoveries along the way.

A great book which sets the scene for Paris and Christmas lovers.

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel was an enchanting read, perfect for book lovers and writers. I absolutely adored the setting of Paris at Christmas and the hotel being renovated into a book lovers escape. I loved learning about all the book related places in Paris and all the authors who wrote about Paris. I was mesmerised by the descriptions and I fell in love with the characters.

Anais was a great character and I loved that she was an author and was finding inspiration for her new novel. It was so entertaining while reading snippets of her writing process and how she had fell out of love with romance books due to her recent divorce. She had the help of her cousin Manon who was a great character, she was so witty and I loved her humour. The other characters like Margaret, Noah and JP were great and I loved reading about them.

The book focused on the hotel renovations and I found the romance part wasn’t overpowering and it went along nicely with the rest of the book. I also liked the Easter egg to the authors previous book, although you don’t need to read that one before this book. I thought the book was written well and it was mesmerising and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed reading it and I highly recommend it!

A gorgeous story. A love story to books, to reading, to writers.
The warmth between Anais and Manon was evident from the start - I loved their relationship and the passion and care they invested in restoring the hotel was admirable.
It sounded a wonderful place to stay, and the idea that each suite had a link to books was so inviting. I’d love to stay there.
The mystery of the secret room was a great way to all Anais to find love again - with her writing, her life and herself.

This is quite possibly the most festive gorgeous story i have had the honor of reading so far this year, I adored the setting and lovely descriptions of Paris throughout and really loved Anais as a character and everything she went to trying to get the hotel finished by Christmas. There is a mystery element throughout that kept me coming back for more and I must say he may have been a grump but he was a a contender for a favorite book boyfriend!

I'm reviewing this as part of a tour with Rachel's Random Resources.

I've read a few other books by this author and I really enjoyed them, so I was excited to read this. The protagonist is Anais, a romance writer who is still coming to terms with her divorce. I took a liking to Anais from the start, and I thought Manon was an awesome character as well. Both Anaïs and Manon made me chuckle.

I pictured the hotel as somewhere cosy and inviting, and it sparked joy to read about it. The festive atmosphere warmed my heart. The storyline also had a mystery element that I didn't expect, so I enjoyed that as well.

This book was comforting, funny, and full of charm. As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, I think we all need a book like this to curl up with in the evenings.

Thank you to NetGalley, Rachel's Random Resources, Boldwood Books, and to the author, for the opportunity to read and review this.

I really enjoyed this story by Rebecca Raisin!!
Poor Anaise is very upset with her life. She married a man with a wandering eye. So her divorce has been expensive, and she has been left with a derelict hotel in the middle of Paris. Her cousin Manon is a great support, and always tries to be positive. She then meets her neighbour Noah, who complains a lot about her hotel. She gets cross and all her frustration comes out. He leaves!!!! So it goes on…
Many thanks to Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read this arc copy via Netgalley. My opinion is my own.

Such a fun read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel is a heartwarming and uplifting festive romance, which kept me happily turning the pages. The likeable and relatable Anais receives a near-derelict hotel in Paris in her divorce settlement. When her plan of tidying it up and selling it fails, she decides to turn it from a rundown Paris hotel into a beautiful bookish boutique retreat. Planning on opening by Christmas and with her funds running out she defiantly does not need Noah, the grumpy American owner of the bar next door interfering. Anais then discovers a mysterious room which holds the key to a centuries old secret, involving a woman who chose love against the odds. Bella is looking forward to her first Christmas in Paris, complete with twinkling fairy lights all over the city and snowflakes falling. An enjoyable and engaging festive romantic comedy with a mystery to solve, which kept me hooked throughout. Perfect to curl up with by the fire on a cold winters evening, and escape to Paris for a Christmas to remember!

CHRISTMAS AT THE LITTLE PARIS HOTEL Rebecca Raisin
A fun, festive read with perhaps surprisingly well developed characters. I will be honest; I didn’t expect the depth of character and plot that this book gave me. Read it in a sitting and thoroughly enjoyed the change of genre. I will read more.

It took a while for me to get invested in this story.

Anais gets an almost derelict hotel in Paris as her divorce settlement. We learn that her ex was not to be trusted and everyone had warned her before they married. Now rueing the day she met him and didn't take everyone's advice she is trying to salvage some money by renovating the hotel to sell.

I didn't really warm to Anais. All her dialogue seemed a little too practised. I understand she is part French and part English, however, throwing in Oui every so often began to grate on me. Noah the owner of the bar next door started out as a bit of a bore, but slowly grew on me. So thank goodness for Manon, the cousin of Anais, and for me the best character in the book closely followed by Margaret the literary agent.

Once the renovations of the hotel began and a little mystery crept in, I was well and truly submerged into the story. I loved the latter part of the book. There's definitely some Christmas magic in the book and some great facts about Paris too.

This took a little time to get into, but once I got started I couldn’t put it down. It’s not often books have two cousins as main characters so I really enjoyed it.

Slightly unnecessary man bashing goes on in this book, put me off really. Which is a shame. Thank you netgalley for the advanced copy

This was an enjoyable read. The setting lovely, the characters entertaining, and the story line was captivating.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this book. ~I was given this book and made no commitments to leave my opinions, favorable or otherwise~

This was my first book by Rebecca Raisin and did not disappoint me. I have been obsessed with Paris lately and have been reading as many books with the Paris setting as possible. This was a great book about finding yourself, holiday vibes and love. The characters were great. I felt like I was getting to see into the lives of 2 of my friends. This was a super adorable escapist read and was a Christmas in Paris to remember!

Thank you, Net Galley, the author, and the publisher for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was another delightful read from one of my favourite authors. I was even more drawn to this book as it was about Paris and I love everything Parisian and was excited that this author had written another book set in Paris. I would absolutely love to be able to visit this hotel as it would be a book lovers dream.

Loved the characters and the setting and the engaging storyline and the mystery that unfolded. Was lovely to see the return of a character from love letter to Paris make an appearance too. Loved the literary feel of this book and it had all the ingredients of a great read.

This would make a fabulous Hall mark film.

Anais is a successful romance writer until her marriage implodes, and she ends up divorced with a hotel that needs renovation and writer's block. I like the humour in this story; Anais's wish to kill all her romantic heroes is understandable. The hotel is more than a setting; its faded charms and mystery evoke a glamorous past that adds depth to this romantic story. Christmas is the focus of the hotel's reopening, with some lovely festive elements. I like the literary references, the Parisian setting, and the likeable main characters in which you invest.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Anais owns a hotel that has seen better days. She is hoping that the renovations can be done quickly so she can be earning some income. A nice read.
