Late at night when I wander the streets of Paris, my thoughts turn to her… How do I tell her how I feel? Perhaps, I need to show her…

The pretty little streets of Montmartre are abuzz with a rumour. Apparently a mystery matchmaker, known only as ‘Paris Cupid’, has somehow helped the city’s most famous bachelor find love.

But old-fashioned romantic Lilou is staying very quiet. She’d just wanted to set up her best friend, and to get on with her life selling whimsical old love letters, in Paris’s famous St. Ouen market.

She hadn’t imagined her little Paris Cupid project could ever have attracted so many people looking for true, heartfelt romance. Though the truth is that Lilou adores helping people find the right person. Even if her own love life is nothing short of disastrous.

But then a message arrives. And it’s just for her. Someone is in love with her. Someone who knows her secret. But they’re keeping their own identity secret too… Could it be from cheerful, talkative, flame-haired Felix? Or quiet, beautifully handsome Benoit? Or even Pascale – who drives Lilou mad every day?

After so long of helping others find their soulmate, is it time for Lilou to find love of her own in Paris herself?

Rebecca Raisin is one of my favorite romance authors and so I am glad when I got a chance to read this book as an ARC.

Lilou helps people find their matches–she has a website called Paris Cupid where she matches people with their soulmates. Lilou also is a seller, selling antique letters and others. However, her website gets famous when a famous French actor announces that he had found his soulmate from Paris Cupid. Not only that, Lilou seem to be having a secret admirer who sends her letters. Lilou starts investigating to see who her secret admirer was.

This is a warm, romance cozy tale. I like the setting as well–France, or rather Paris is a city of romance and so you are destined to find your love. I liked how the author manages to make the reader a part of the story, as we find Lilou helping her friends to find their soulmates through her website. I particularly love the descriptions of the city overall because as a reader and someone who never been to France, I feel like I am in France right now, enjoying reading the book. Rebecca Raisin is a brilliant author and so I really enjoyed reading all her novels. Worth 4.5 stars in my opinion!

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
