Can you ever swear off love, in the city of love?
Coco is having a hell of a month. She’s lost her boyfriend and her business, been forced to uproot her daughter to move back in with her parents in Paris, and now an infuriatingly handsome stranger is yelling at her for acting like a tourist… Right underneath the Eiffel Tower.
Storming away from him – and swearing off men for life – she decides she’s going to take the first job that comes her way.
Then, as if fate hears her, later that day she stumbles into a little bookshop – but not any old bookshop. This one comes complete with a café, cocktail bar, reading room and secret tunnel of books, and just a little hint of magic in the air. So when Coco’s offered a job selling books there, it feels like the perfect fit.
There’s only one problem… propping up the bar in the bookshop is none other than the grumpy, gorgeous stranger she’d met earlier that day…
A totally romantic, bookish and gorgeously escapist romantic novel, set in Paris in Springtime. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Abby Jimenez, and Sarah Morgan.

Why Should You Read It?
Rebecca Raisin delivers another delightful escape in The Paris Bookshop for the Broken-Hearted, blending romance, reinvention, and the undeniable charm of Paris.
Coco’s life has unraveled in spectacular fashion—losing her business, her boyfriend, and her independence all in one go. Forced to move back in with her parents in the city of love, the last thing she expects is to find herself clashing with a grumpy (but undeniably attractive) stranger under the Eiffel Tower. Swearing off love, she throws herself into a fresh start, landing a job in an enchanting bookshop that feels like something out of a dream—complete with a café, cocktail bar, and even a secret tunnel of books. But fate, as it often does, has a wicked sense of humor. The very man she stormed away from is now a regular fixture in her new workplace.
Raisin’s signature warmth and evocative writing make this novel a cozy, uplifting read. The bookshop setting is pure magic—any bibliophile will wish they could step inside its pages. Coco is a relatable heroine, navigating heartbreak, motherhood, and the challenge of rediscovering herself with humor and resilience. The romance has just the right amount of slow-burn tension, though at times, the grumpy hero trope feels predictable.
While the plot follows familiar beats, the novel’s heart lies in its celebration of second chances—not just in love but in life itself. If you adore books about books, Parisian charm, and a touch of romance, this is a perfect pick.
I do adore books about books, and Paris and romance so this was a great read for me!
