Anais in her late thirties has recently gone through a messy divorce. A romance book author she finds herself now owner of a run down hotel in Paris, L’ Hotel du Parc.
On the back foot Anais alongside her cousin Manon must turn this dilapidated hotel around in as short a time as possible.
But the hotel has secrets of its own to be discovered.

A thoroughly enjoyable book that captured me from the start. A bunch of quirky characters set in Paris.
The book described places of interest in Paris, and it was written in such detail I could believe I was there seeing it all through my own eyes.
A good plot which was finished with a good book ending.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Publisher for an advanced e-book copy. Opinions about the book are entirely my own.

Another fabulous read set in Paris from Rebecca Raisin. Great characters, some to love and one not so much. Excellent storytelling, and gorgeously atmospheric. Highly recommended! *****

This was a cute Christmas read set in Paris. When Anais gets a hotel as part of the divorcé settlement she’s determined to make it work, but she has to finish her novel before Christmas. When she finds a hidden doorway, she needs to find out what’s behind it.

I enjoyed reading this book, a lovely lead up to Christmas read and it’s a page turner, you want her to succeed and open the hotel and finish her book. Anais a nice character to read about, she’s got an edge to her which I liked. It’s a cute, feel good story and an easy read. A joyful 4 star read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

This book is for lovers of Christmas, Paris, feel-good themes, turning-your-luck-around stories, and even cozies. The setting is Paris at Christmas time, The author's lovely descriptions easily transport readers to the enchanting world of Anais. Anais is recently divorced and still licking her wounds from a disappointing marriage. She receives in the divorce settlement a outdated Parisian hotel, too ugly and outmoded to sell. With a lot of hard work, grit, and help from her cousin and the somewhat grumpy American next door, Anais embarks on a renovation. The journey, is unexpected and astonishing. Not only is she renovating this Parisian hotel, she is renovating her life. Sprinkled in the story is a touch of mystery, a touch of romance, and a whole lot of inspiration.

2 things to note prior to reading:

1) reader will want to move to Paris
2) reader will want to own a hotel

Think scorned ex wife finds a herself the owner of a dilapidated boutique hotel. Now toss in being a romance author who can’t seem to find her grove after her cheating husband got kicked to the curb. Until… romance comes in the form of a hotel and a cute (slightly irritating) neighbour.

Very cute 🥰

Side note: love the cousin relationship in this one

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel by Rebecca Raisin

Rating: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A huge thank you to the publisher, author, and Netgalley for access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was my first time reading a Rebecca Raisin book and I can unequivocally say that it was absolutely amazing! What a heartfelt read featuring wonderfully written characters and highlighting how one can overcome trials/tribulations to become the best version of themselves. I especially enjoyed seeing how Anais stepped out of her shell and embraced a new chapter of her life. The romance between her and Noah was so sweet and genuinely felt authentic.

This is a feel-good, Christmas-themed romance set in Paris that will leave you feeling content and cheerful! I’d recommend it to all fans of cozy romance!

This was a quick little book! It made me wish I could stay in that hotel and explore Paris. It has lovely characters. I loved the idea of the secret library and the mystery attached to it. Definitely check this one out

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel was sucha great read. I loved it.

Anais is a romance author, but she can't even write a full sentece since her messy divorce that left her with a decaying hotel and some meagre savings. Will she have the boutique hotel up and running before Christmas? Will she overcome her writer's block? Will she get over her desire to plan her hero's demise? Fortunately she isn't alone in this journey, she has her favourite cousin Manon, the kind builder JP, and the grumpy neighbour Noah.

I've chosen to read this book for the nice cover, and the brilliant Paris setting.
The storyline was well written and intriguing, the characters were fabulous, and it's just what I did need these days.
This novel gave me some pleasure, it put a smile on my face, and it warmed up my bibliophile heart.

"I suppose chances are that we'll all leave this mortal coil somewhere in the middle of an unfinished book, which makes me strangely sad."

I was in Paris in May, but the author made me want to go back as soon as possible to follow Anais through the streets and the literary cafes of the VI arrondissement.
I highly recommend it.

What a lovely read, something a bit different from your average love story.
When Anais gets a dilapidated hotel in her divorce settlement, she is left wondering whatever is she going to do! But with the help of her cousin Manon and friends she makes along the way, can she turn everything around?
The writer really captivates the audience with her description of everything, you can see the hotel, the streets, Paris, in your minds eye. The transformation of the hotel is vivid in your mind.
The characters are developed well and the relationship between Anais and Manon is fun and endearing. I love the literary theme throughout the book, the discoveries made and what they mean for literature, the future.
All in all a wonderful read, something different and unexpected. A wintery story with a hint of Christmas, what’s not to love!

This was my first time reading a Rebecca Raisin book, and she certainly did not disappoint! Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel is a delightful, cozy read about two cousins determined to breathe life into a charming but rundown hotel in Paris. With its bookish setting, blossoming romances, and a writer as the female lead, this story captivated me right from the very first sentence.
The vivid descriptions of the enchanting, Christmassy streets of Paris, along with the well-developed, lovable characters, added so much to the charm of this novel. I was thoroughly immersed and didn't want the story to end.
A huge thank you to @NetGalley and @TheBoldBookClub for the free copy of this book!

I expected more of a hallmark Christmas story, but didn’t get it unfortunately. Some of the key romance portions were skimmed over too sadly (the tango part could have been included. It was a good idea, but the execution wasn’t the best for me.

Another wonderful book from Rebecca Raisin. St in Paris in the lead up to Christmas, Anais gets a boutique hotel following her divorce. She renovates the hotel with her cousin Manon but at the same time needs to complete her own book. Romance and love is in the air as the hotel undergoes changes and as the pair discover hidden secrets at the hotel. Thanks to Rebecca and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel by Rebecca Raisin is a delightful bauble of a book. It's structure is episodic and tells the story of Anais and her cousin Manon as they try to refurbish and open a dilapidated Paris hotel in time for Christmas. It's a story of family and love and laughter and new beginnings. It's also a book-lover's dream as the cousins uncover a hundred year-old literary mystery and love-story.

The perfect Christmas novel for book lovers. It had such a cosy vibe, I loved the boutique hotel setting and the countdown to Christmas. The characters were a lot of fun. I felt for Anais after her divorce and loved her relationship with cousin Manon. The two played off each so well. Noah, the grumpy bartender from next door made for the perfect antidote to a cheating husband. He was always there in a time of need. It was fun to see the hotel get renovated and come to life. I enjoyed the different guests you came through. The mystery element of secret rooms added another layer. I was definitely keen to visit both the literary hotel and bar. All the elements of fun festive novel.

Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel is a cute holiday story with a little bit of mystery to keep a reader intrigued in the book. Renovating and opening a hotel in just a couple months seemed very far-fetched, but I let it go because the story was cute enough. The best part for me was the Paris setting. I was just in Paris this summer and I actually knew many of the sites mentioned in the book. I love everything French! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Cute book but so much boring to get through to then enjoy the story. The little bit of mystery and rom com made it much more interesting.
For anyone that loves books and a Christmas movie I am sure you’ll like this.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

After a messy divorce romance writer Anais is left with a run down hotel and a big mortgage. Deciding to renovate it and have a soft opening before Christmas, aided by her cousin Manon, they work hard to achieve this.
I'm not a city person, however this book made me want to visit Paris to see the sights as described. I liked the idea of a literary themed hotel, and would certainly stay there. Manon sounds a really scary person and would certainly want her on my side, but it was good to see her softer side coming out. Noah, Ainas' love interest, is the grumpy bar owning neighbour, although their initial interactions are by no means hopeful for a future together. There is a mystery with two rooms that had been sealed away that continues through the book. It was nice to see a "special guest appearance" by Lilou from A Love Letter to Paris, this gives some continuity across the books.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book.

I received an E-ARC with a request for my honest review.

This uplifting romance follows author Anais who after her recent divorce is left with a rundown hotel in Paris.

Determined not to let her ex-win, she decides to renovate the hotel, so it is in a situation where it could be sold. Soon she meets the bar owner next door, but she doesn’t welcome his grumpy presence.

Struggling to start her new novel, she throws herself into the renovations and uncovers a mysterious secret in the hotel.

What is the secret? How will she overcome her writer’s block?

This romance is not only sweet but has an uplifting storyline as Anais tries to build herself back up again after her recent divorce.

Her cousin is an amazing character who helps Anais not only as family but as a friend and pushes her in ways Anais, although not prepared for, needs to be pushed.

With a little bit of mystery entwined with the past secrets of the hotel, this book keeps you wanting to read more and more.

Overall, an uplifting romance where the renovation of a rundown hotel uncovers mystery.

Another corker from the lovely Rebecca! I have loved reading Rebecca's work over the last couple of years and CATLPH is no different. She has a wonderful way of writing relatable, witty and lovable characters, a phenomenal way of writing strong, supportive, female relationships and finding fun and interesting scenarios to put them in!
I loved the mystery in this one, and the many, many, hilarious ways she imagined killing of Anais' fictional men. Each one had me snorting and giggling.
Another fantastic read from a truly lovely author.

I was so excited to receive a copy of this book. I have never read a Rebecca Raisin book that I didn’t love. She writes from the heart, and her characters seem more like friends than two dimensional creations. I have read, and enjoyed a previous book of hers, also set in Paris, and I was delighted when an ‘old friend’ from a previous book popped into the Hotel to say hello.

Anais is half French and half English and was brought up in England. Like the Author, Anais is a successful romance writer, however unlike Ms Raisin, Anais was married to a vile French gold digger who took her money and slept around. In the divorce settlement, her ex got the apartment that Anais had paid for! Anais only got a run down and derelict Hotel that her ex had insisted on buying – with Anais’ money of course! Anais, with the help of her cousin Manon, decide the only way to recoup some money is to renovate the hotel and open it by Christmas to customers, and then sell it as a going concern. What they don’t expect to find are two hidden rooms which reveal a one hundred year old secret. They also don’t expect to find love!

Rebecca Raisin is a master of her craft. She can turn an idea into a totally gripping story, where you feel totally invested in both the story and characters. I couldn’t put it down.
