A delightful and charming read. The vivid descriptions of Paris and its culinary delights had me longing to be there.

Heartfelt thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

A fun sweet read! Highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my ARC.

This is a lovely, very enjoyable read. Set in Paris, the city of love, it evokes the city's feel and its markets. Lilou sells old letters and diaries on her stall and starts a match-making agency, Paris Cupid, with a difference, to help some friends. Matches write letters to each other before meeting, it sounds like a brilliant way of finding out about a future partner. However, when a famous actor praises the site things become difficult.

I loved the characters and the interactions between them. The storyline is intriguing, as well as romantic. I found the book easy to read and thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this book to all lovers of romance and Paris.

A Love Letter to Paris by Rebecca Raisin is a delightful tribute to romance that keeps you turning the pages to the very end.
With this book, Raisin also pays tribute to the art of correspondence, particularly love letters, through the two livelihoods of her main character Lilou; she not only owns a store that sells diaries and love letters from the past, but she founds and runs Paris Cupid, a matchmaking site that focuses on the writing of love letters as the means of becoming acquainted.
The city of Paris is exquisitely, even lovingly, portrayed, and will no doubt tempt readers who have never been to consider a new vacation location. The characters are relatable and varied, and throughout the book love blooms for many of them, including two adorable felines. And the splash of mystery - who is secretly romancing the matchmaker? - is heartwarming and engaging.
With summer approaching, this is the ideal book to while away time on a picnic blanket under a tree.
I highly recommend #ALoveLettertoParis, which I was happy to receive an ARC of from #NetGalley.

It was such a delight to read this story. The Paris setting and descriptions of the locations and food made me feel like I was there. The excitement of receiving a love letter in the mail is something most young people won’t experience these days.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Beautiful. A fantastic setting in Paris with a beautiful romance about finding romance through old fashioned letters. I loved both Lilou and Pascal but there is an amazing cast of minor characters including the wonderful Genevieve. However, my favourite of all was the wonderful cat, Minou.

Do you love Emily in Paris? The City of Light? Hand-written love letters? Romance in the most gorgeous city in the world? This charming tale brings you all that with great heart in a story you will absolutely love. Enjoy!

Lilou has a secret, she is the matchmaker know as 'Paris Cupid' and after matching a famous star everyone is out to find out the who is the matchmaker.

Lilou believes in old fashion romance and the writing of letters to find true love, which is amiss in her life since her last disastrous relationship. When 3 new shop owners arrive in the market where she has her stall selling love letters, diaries and notes from the past, she starts receiving anonymous letters. Could it be one of them that is in love with her?

A delightful fun read that will make you feel like you a sitting reading in a quiet street in Paris!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Stars


In "A Love Letter to Paris" by Rebecca Raisin, the streets of Montmartre buzz with rumors of a mystery matchmaker named 'Paris Cupid' who's helped the city's most famous bachelor find love. Lilou, an old-fashioned romantic, quietly orchestrates her own matchmaking efforts while running her business selling love letters. When she receives a mysterious message declaring someone's love for her, Lilou is thrown into a whirlwind of emotions. As she navigates the possibilities of love with potential suitors Felix, Benoit, and Pascale, Lilou wonders if it's finally time for her to find her own happily ever after in the city of love.

This book is like a cozy getaway, perfect for a quick read.

If you're a fan of Paris, you'll be smitten with this irresistible setting. The idea of finding love through handwritten letters adds a charming twist, reminding us of the beauty of traditional communication. Amidst the Parisian backdrop, the story unfolds as a light and fluffy romance, with characters like Guillaume adding to its charm.

While the matchmaking subplot adds some fun, the main romance feels a bit hurried towards the end, I felt like a bit more could’ve been developed and explained. Still, it's a delightful recommendation for anyone craving a dose of fun and romance.

Thank you to The Publisher Boldwood Books, The Author Rebecca Raisin & NetGalley for an advanced reader copy (ARC) in exchange for my honest review.

This is a lovely light and fluffy romance that is perfect for summer. Paris is the perfect backdrop for this story, and the characters are all very endearing, especially Guillaume. While I enjoyed the story and found the matchmaking aspect to be very fun, I feel like the main romance of the story takes a bit of a backseat, and is a little rushed in the end. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone wanting a fun, romantic read.

A Love Letter to Paris by Rebecca Raisin
Rating: 4/5


Whispers echo through the charming cobblestone lanes of Montmartre, hinting that a mystery matchmaker, dubbed ‘Paris Cupid’, has finally orchestrated a love story for the city's most renowned bachelor.

Meanwhile, Lilou, a traditional romantic at heart, remains discreet. Her intentions were simple: play matchmaker for her closest friend and carry on with her quaint trade of selling vintage love letters at St. Ouen market.

Yet, her innocent endeavour as Paris Cupid unexpectedly blossoms, drawing countless seekers of genuine affection. Despite her own turbulent romantic history, Lilou finds solace in guiding others toward their perfect match.

Then, a mysterious letter arrives, addressed solely to her. It carries professions of love from an enigmatic admirer who is privy to her secret. But their identity remains shrouded in secrecy.

What a wonderful pick-me-up “A Love Letter to Paris” was! This author has a knack for whisking you away to whimsical realms, making it the perfect escape. Their narratives are quirky and romantic, leading us to the perfect read.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Boldwood Books, and the author, Rebecca Raisin, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

This was a charming quick read and perfect escapism while recovering from illness. Love how this author transports you to another world with her quirky romantic stories. I am obsessed with anything Paris related so as soon as I saw this author had a new book out with Paris in the title I had to get stuck into reading. Loved the concept of people finding love through hand written letters as there is something beautiful about writing and receiving hand written communications and this art of communication is sadly getting lost in the digital age.

Loved the descriptions of Paris and reading also brought back memories of my own trip to Montmartre some years ago.

This book would be great for fans of Emily in Paris and Bridgerton as it also gave off those kind of vibes. I think it would also make a good Netflix rom com in its own right.

Look forward to more from
This author.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for this ARC.

She has done it again! What a beautiful book.

I've just recently read Summer at The Santorini Bookshop by Rebecca Raisin which I loved, and here is another new one!

This time we're in Paris where narrator Lilou sells love letters and other ephemera on a Paris vintage flea market. She loves old prayer books and diaries - the keepers of forsaken treasures - and decides to establish
match-making website Paris Cupid with the USP of introducing old-fashioned love letter writing instead of quick texts or E-Mails.

"Paris Cupid will remedy that injustice by bringing back the lost art of handwritten love letters. My matches will partake in a slow-burn romance, with no need to swipe right, or Netflix and chill. My first goal will be to help Émilienne believe in love again."

However, something seems to have gone wrong when Émilienne falls in love with "The Playboy of Paris " who snuck in under false pretences. He sings Love Cupid's praises but for Lilou it means a lot more work and attention, as suddenly everyone wants to be matched and find out who the anonymous proprietor of the website is.

At the same time, she grapples with her own love life - fresh from a scandal with a married man, she is understandably wary, but there are three new men with businesses on her section of the market - could one of them ignite her heart? Obviously not Pascale who sells antique typewriters, he's grumpy and doesn't like her (two tropes in one, hurray!), but maybe Felix or Benoit, who also have businesses to do with paper and the written word.

In the hands of a lesser author, this could have been unspeakably naff (does anyone know or care who owns a dating website?) but in Rebecca Raisin's hands it's unputdownable.

Yes, it's predictable but there are cats, there is Paris sunshine, there are delectable French men and lots of quirky lovable characters like Geneviève and Guillaume, and while the title may be A Love Letter to Paris, it's really a heart-warming love letter to love.

It's an easy, clean, well-written summer read with a very pretty cover and no real content warnings I can think of other than alcohol because they drink a lot of wine in France! Can't wait for the next one.

4.5 stars
