Can the city of love mend a broken heart?

Romance author Tessa Elliot has writer's block, and worse - she isn’t sure she still believes in love. To heal her broken heart, she decides to go on the romantic break in Paris she’d booked before her world fell apart.

But when she arrives at the Airbnb, Tessa is stunned to find someone is already there. Her ex’s best friend Ethan has made himself at home, being told that the place would be empty.

As it’s Paris Fashion Week, and with no other options, they agree to share the apartment. Neither will be in the place much after all, with Ethan taking a cookery course and Tessa on a hard deadline to finish her novel.

But sharing close nights in a one bed apartment, there’s an undeniable pull towards one another.

Will Tessa be able open her heart, and her laptop, ever again?

A gorgeous romance set in the city of love, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Christina Lauren


 My Thoughts

When you travel to Paris with Tessa, you have a feeling that Paris might be the ideal place to mend her broken heart. Once there, she meets some strong characters and gets to see some amazing sights in the city. Unfortunately, her writer's block seems to be not for shifting. As the story unfolds, you can sense her confidence increasing. Her AirBnb seems like a haven to her, with its sparkling view of the Eiffel Tower. At times, she listens to others a little too much and lets them influence her actions. Once she realises this, she begins to think for herself.

    There is plenty of romance in the story but also some humour. It
moves on at a good pace and is am enjoyable read/ The contrast between her new friends and the one who hurt her so badly is striking. They are encouraging whilst before, she met scorn. In some ways, the story shows you how Tessa comes to believe in herself and to have confidence in herself as a writer.

In short: new starts, new friends
