many thanks to NetGalley and Victoria Walters for providing me an e-arc of this novel!!

I must say the plot was good but i loved the way Victoria portrays toxic relationships and hardships in this book. I felt like the characters were so real in that sense.

My favorite part would have to be Tessa discovering that yes, she is worthy and deserves better, I loved that she didn't think it was right and was adamant about her decision to not get back with Joe.

the only reason this is not a five star read is because to me the sex scenes felt a bit awkward. Not that they are not good, but I felt like I skipped a lot of them due to the cringe dialogue. Also, sometimes even though i loved how Victoria portrays insecurities i felt like they asked "are you sure" a little too much sometimes. But honestly I loved how they communicated through the entire thing, it's so rare nowadays!!

Victoria did it again, im so happy and hope to read more of hers soon!

You can’t go wrong with a romance set in Paris! Tessa and her fiance booked an air b&b for their honeymoon. When he calls it off, she decides to go to Paris alone. She’s shocked to find her exe’s best friend Ethan already at the apartment.
They both decide to stay, and sparks fly between them as the time passes.
I enjoyed this escapist romance, 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Wasn’t a bad book but didn’t grab me and keep me either. Was entertaining but nothing special. Interested to read other books by her!

This book was very cute 🥰 and it’s in Paris what else I can ask for.
Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for my copy

New to Victoria Walters as an author, but the word Paris in the title is my weakness, and even though it's a familiar story (the broken-hearted heads to Paris to try to find love again), I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Because of the common enemy of the evil ex-boyfriend, what a jerk he is to have offered the apartment the leading lady paid for to his friend and even lied about having paid for it!

Happy endings are my weaknesses - but I will not be providing any spoilers. I enjoyed this book - highly recommended for a romantic light read, and I will be looking for other books from this author to read as well!

Tessa, a romance writer, just found out her boyfriend was cheating on her. Newly si how she decides to go to Paris, she and Joe were planing to go together. She decides to use the non refundable apartment she payed and get back her inspiration for the book she has a deadline on and didn’t even started.
When she arrives, she finds a stranger coming out of the shower with minimum cover, turn out it’s Joe’s friend, Joe, her ex- boyfriend.
Being there during fashion week makes imposible to find accommodation for Ethan, he is there for a cooking course so he cannot leave the city, They decide to share the place.
Maybe the city will help Tessa believe in romance again.
I enjoyed the story, the characters and the narrative.

I have read many books by Victoria Walters and they never disappoint!

The Paris Chapter is the perfect cosy romance, in the most dreamy of settings....the city of love!

I adored the characters romance progression throughout, which was both realistic and captivating to the very end, basically, a perfect read for us romance readers who love LOVE!

*Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books and Victoria Walters for my ARC of this book in return of my honest review.*

Thanks to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and Victoria Walters for the chance to read this e-arc in exchange for an honest review. The Paris Chapter is about unlucky in Love Tessa who after a heart-breaking break-up decides to go to Paris and mend her creative writers block in the city of love. There she finds Ethan sharing the same apartment she was meant to stay in. The two clash, while Tessa tries to mend her broken heart. Will Ethan become the friend and confidante she has always dreamed of and written about?

I really enjoyed this book, nice, short and sweet. The plot moved along really well and there were a few twists and turns which I always like in a romance. I did like that the main character was a romance writer trying to find inspiration for her next book while going through romantic mishaps of her own. The romance built steadily and I really liked the setting in Paris and the other charming characters who she becomes friends with while in Paris.

I would highly recommend this book and I would love to read future novels from Victoria.

In this fun and charming new Parisian romance novel, readers follow romance author Tessa Elliot upon her arrival to Paris, looking for inspiration and healing from a break up, when she realizes that her ex’s best friend Ethan is also in her rented apartment. With no available places to rent during Paris Fashion Week, Tessa and Ethan decide to share the apartment since they’re working on other projects -- a new novel and a cookery class, respectively -- but the shared evenings in the apartment might just force them to confront this proximity and simmering attraction before they return to their separate lives. With a host of fun tropes and charming characters set against the consistently romantic backdrop of Paris, readers will love Victoria Walters’s new novel and her two protagonists. From roommates, only one bed, forced proximity, a love triangle, and a trip to Paris, the tropes in this novel are well-chosen and work well with Ethan and Tessa, who are both funny, complex, and relatable with the perfect amount of chemistry and animosity. Fun, deeply enjoyable, and a great mix of charming and spicy, readers will love this new novel and the progression of Tessa and Ethan’s relationship in the iconic City of Love.

A fun easy-read romance. Is it predictable? Sure. Does it have Emily in Paris vibes meets the Flatshare? Yep. New love interest, one-bed situation, creepy ex, new best friends... The Paris Chapter has everything you need for a light-hearted romance. Doesn't break the mould, but you don't always need that.

Aaaah, just loved this one, set in Paris, what’s not to love. Wanted to be friends with Juliette, who was my favourite character.
Interesting to read the relationship with the writer and her editor and publishing house.

Cosy up and transport yourself to the city of love ❤️

The Paris Chapter by bestselling author and blogger Victoria Walters it´s a sweet and spicy romcom about how to get back in touch with yourself, through self-love and realistic expectations. The pure act of love starts from oneself. Only after reaching this level one can really expect finding love, the real one.
What I personally loved a lot in this story is how as the lovestory evolves, so the doubts alternate with the temptations of attraction and the darkness of fears. Realistically, it is how one may build a strong relationship: a bit of everything, nothing more, nothing less. As in a tasty recipe.

For lovers of Paris and anyone looking for some tasty love stories, The Paris Chapter is more than a book. It can be use as an inspiration for thinking about relationships, past, present and, who known, the much better ones we are always worth waiting for.

Thanks to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and the author for the chance to read this book.

This was a room-mates to lovers, quick fall romance story. It had a variety of characters and relationships. I loved the female friendships within the story. Felt so frustrated by Tessa in her interactions with her ex, but I understood the way they helped build her strength and character in the long run. The message of the book about loving yourself first is an important one.

It was supposed to be a romantic getaway until Joe dumped her. Now, romance author Tessa Elliot is facing a deadline having lost her belief in romance. Hoping a change in scenery will spur her creative juices, Tessa decides to take that getaway in Paris. Now she finds herself sharing a one bedroom apartment with her Joe's best friend. As Ethan shares the sites of Paris with her, Tessa begins to believe that romance might still have a place in her life.

Ethan and Tessa just seemed to fit. Both have their vulnerabilities which they try to hide. They are acquainted with each other through Joe, but it isn't until Ethan begins showing her around Paris that they develop a friendship. They provide both encouragement and a sounding board to each other. The way the relationship develops feels natural, not rushed. I liked watching Tessa's journey back to belief and her feelings of excitement and relief as her writing comes back to her.

There was so much to like about this book beyond just the sweet romance. Having been to Paris recently, I really liked the chance to see the city again through Ethan and Tessa's eyes. I liked the secondary characters. Tessa's friends Luke and Carly were so supportive. Ethan's friend, Juliette, outgoing, take charge and friends with everyone. She had a knack for giving everyone that little push to keep going. They provided another point of view, and added a bit of color and fun to the story.

This was a perfect feel good book, sweet and sensitive, with just a touch of angst. I enjoyed the chance to get lost in Tessa and Ethan's story.

This book was just ok. It had a good premise and the setting of Paris was great. But honestly I felt like the book didn't use the Paris setting as well as it could have. And I didn't really like the main character that much. I thought she made some choices that didn't make sense. I did like the theme of making sure to love yourself first.

I really enjoyed this story, and i particularly liked that it was set in Paris. Fans of Emily in Paris will enjoy this romantic read.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have read, and enjoyed, several books by this author and this book was no exception. This was a great book!

When I was offered an early copy of ‘The Paris Chapter’ by Victoria Walters I just couldn’t wait to read it.

Tessa decides to take a trip to Paris, a trip she was supposed to go on with her now ex boyfriend. She needs to be in a space to try and write her romance novel but she doesn’t believe in happy ever afters anymore. However she’s not alone in the Paris apartment when her ex boyfriend’s best friend Ethan is also staying there. What could possibly go wrong?

I think Victoria has written another hit and I adore the cover of this book too. I loved the setting of Paris and could just imagine what it’s like there with Victoria’s vivid descriptions.

I haven’t read much one bed, forced proximity books but I really enjoy them as the tension between Tessa and Ethan shows. I was also rooting for them from the beginning and wanted Tessa to believe in love again.

I also loved the cross over with characters from Victoria’s previous book ‘The Plot Twist’ which is also a fabulous book might I add! 🥰

‘The Paris Chapter’ is a story filled with will they won’t they moments and lovely side characters too. I was hooked from the very first page and can’t wait to read more of Victoria’s books 💖

Thank you to Boldwood Books for an advanced copy of this book via NetGalley.

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely fantastic plot! Could not put the book down once I began reading it. I am so thrilled it is available now everywhere.

I am late in writing this review because it almost became a DNF. I had to put it down and walk away. I wanted to like it more than I did. It was ok. But me, being in my perimenopausal moods, made it difficult to enjoy it. Like I said…it was ok.

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