Although Christmas is in the title, it is actually only a small element of the story so it means that this book can be enjoyed all year round!
It is essentially a romance fiction but it has so much more to is as it exposes the harmful, as well as the positive, side of social media. It is a gripping read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A gorgeous festive book featuring characters from previous books. I loved how the story evolved, the food was described (yes, I did but some macarons last week), and the main characters got to slowly know each other. A lovely story wrapped up in festive packaging

It feels a little wrong to be rating this book after it being all about ratings and negative/positive impact but happy to say I thoroughly enjoyed this little trip to Paris at Christmas time! Felt so much for Carys (especially being a cafe manager myself!) and the struggles she went through - I could definitely put myself in her position so when she met Mat I was overjoyed she had someone to spend time away from it all with. Loved the little glimpses of Paris and getting to know more off the beaten track. The third act troubles were really hard to read through as it just made me quite sad but glad we got that HEA!

This is the first book by Sophie Claire that I have read and it was quite enjoyable. I liked the different points of view from Carys and Mat and the feeling of a reverse ‘You’ve Got Mail vibe. I did like Mat and understood why he did what he did but I couldn’t take to Carys sometimes and did wonder where the money came from to completely renovate the cafe, it seemed a bit implausible. Probably would have been better if I had read it nearer to Christmas time.

I received a free copy of, This Christmas in Paris, by Sophie Claire, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review, Carys is starting over after being in a bad car accident that left in a coma for awhile. Carys seems to have ptsd, since her accident and decides to go to Paris, to work at a cafe there. I really liked the book before this one, A Winter's Dream, I really liked Liberty, and was happy to see her in this book too, I did not connect with Carys the way I did Liberty though, its a good book, I prefer, A Winter's Dream though.

What could be more romantic than Paris at Christmas? Carys and Matt are two unlucky in love people in the City of Love at the same time. Are they meant to be together?

Find out in this romantic book by Sophie Claire.

This was a fab read . I absolutely loved it. Set in Paris. Carys was a teacher in a small village and she needed to escape so she applied to a job in Paris.running a cafe. You got staff who needed support , interesting customers, ace cakes, a great love story . Some lovely twists . Secrets always come out.. Getting what you really want is not always worth the price you pay. You learnt about journalism as well.A perfect Christmas read.. Read it.

I liked that Cary's went to France but it was spoilt for me because it was another food book and I feel the market is saturated with books about romance and food. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book.

Oh, the burden of the feeling that you think you are not good enough. I am so glad it was mentioned (and emphasized) in this book. It is definitely a timely theme, alas. Life is hard enough as it is... expectations and stuff.

But don't go thinking that made This Christmas in Paris a miserable book, quite the opposite! Go read for yourself :)

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.
