'I adored this book right from the beginning...The Bookshop on the Seine was another delightful read by Rebecca Raisin' Reviewed the Book

Visit Paris this holiday season and fall in love under the Eiffel Tower

Dreaming of a Parisian Happily-Ever-After

Sarah Smith has been offered the opportunity to exchange bookshops with a Parisian friend for six months. Saying yes is a no-brainer - after all, who would turn down a trip to Paris?

Even if it does mean leaving the irresistible boyfriend behind, Sarah's sure she's in for the holiday of a lifetime - days spent surrounded by novels in a gorgeous bookshop and the chance to watch the snow fall on the Champs-Elysees.

But will her dream come true or will Sarah realise that a fairytale Christmas in the city of love isn't quite as rosy in reality...

A deliciously feel-good romance perfect for fans of Debbie Johnson and Julia Williams

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Thank you to Tay for letting me take part in this tour. I am a big fan of Rebecca's books and when I heard there was a new book out which was focusing on Sarah I knew I had to read it.

Sarah Smith owns the bookshop on the corner in Ashford. Sarah is a shy girl with a small group of close friends. Sarah has spent most of her life in her books. She has travelled the world in her books and met the most amazing people within them but now it's time she started living these places for herself. Being a book lover I can completely understand Sarah. I understand how she feels about her books and the way she can get so lost in them.

This book was about find the courage to live outside the pages of your favourite book. To meet new people and have new experiences and to really get out of your comfort zone. While there was some romance in this book it was more about Sarah and her journey. This is different from most of the books I read and while I love a good romance it was a enjoyable to read something different.

I can't wait to read the rest of the Paris series.
