Както може да се очаква, харесах книгите на Ребека Рейзин по красивите корици :) Освен това като видя в заглавието Париж, Сена, Франция или нещо подобно, заставам мирно и нащрек :) Има няколко издадени на английски поредици, от които Сиела са започнали едната и вече са пуснали две книги от нея. Кориците са наистина разкошни.

The Little Paris Collection Series

#1 The Little Bookshop on the Seine

Le Vie En Rose

Bookshop owner Sarah Smith has been offered the opportunity to exchange bookshops with her new Parisian friend for 6 months! And saying yes is a no-brainer – after all, what kind of a romantic would turn down a trip to Paris? Even if it does mean leaving the irresistible Ridge Warner behind, Sarah’s sure she’s in for the holiday of a lifetime – complete with all the books she can read!

Picturing days wandering around Shakespeare & Co, munching on croissants, sipping cafй au laits and people-watching on the Champs-Elysees Sarah boards the plane. But will her dream of a Parisian Happily-Ever-After come true? Or will Sarah realise that the dream isn’t quite as rosy in reality…

#1 Малката книжарничка край Сена

Любов, Париж, Коледа, книги… остава само да си направите чаша ароматен чай и да се зачетете…

Сара притежава малка книжарница в тихо американско градче. Нейната приятелка Софи, собственичка на книжарница в Париж, й предлага да се разменят, за да избягат и двете от любовните си разочарования.

В най-романтичния град на планетата обаче Сара открива, че я очакват ред предизвикателства. Уж идиличната книжарница край река Сена се оказва непосилен ангажимент, продажбите падат, книжарите недоволстват от всичко, а някой краде от касата. Любовта е все така далеч, а празниците наближават неумолимо...

Сара трябва да намери начин да се справи с всичко наведнъж, а на помощ ще се притече тайнственият писател, който твори в едно от скритите кътчета на книжарницата.

Време е да остави Париж да я приласкае в обятията си, да й покаже своето истинско очарование, скрито за обикновените туристи и запазено само за тези, които имат сърца да го почувстват…

Повечето хора не знаят, че книгите ни избират тогава, когато най-много имаме нужда от тях.

#2 The Little Antique Shop under the Eiffel Tower

Escape to Paris this summer and prepare to be swept off your feet…

Anouk LaRue used to be a romantic, but since she had her heart well and truly broken her love life has dissolved into nothing more than daydreams of the perfect man. Retreating to her extraordinary Little Antique Shop has always been a way to escape, because who could feel alone in a shop bursting with memories and beautiful objects…

Until Tristan Black bursts into an auction and throws her ordered world into a spin.

Following your heart is a little like getting lost in Paris – sometimes confusing and always exciting! Except learning to trust her instincts is not something Anouk is ready to do when it comes to romance, but the city of love has other ideas…

#2 Малкият антикварен магазин под Айфеловата кула

Любов, ранени сърца, антикварни съкровища, Париж… остава само да си позволите да обичате отново… и да откриете щастието.

Анук умее да обича, да се отдава на сладката омая на споделената любов в най-романтичния град на света. Но когато един негодник й разбива сърцето, тя се затваря в себе си и се отказва завинаги от мечтата да бъде щастлива.

Тя притежава малък магазин за антикварни предмети в близост до Айфеловата кула. Анук знае историята на всеки предмет, който е придобила, и внимателно проучва хората, които искат да купят някое от безценните й съкровища. Магазинът й е забранен за случайни туристи – тя е патриот и няма да позволи френската история да бъде отнесена и разпиляна по далечни земи.

В един момент затвореният живот на Анук се променя. От една страна, поредица от кражби на безценни произведения на изкуството я карат да се съмнява в своя близка. От друга, в живота й се появява Тристан Блек, магнетичен американец с тайнствено минало и силен интерес към антикварните предмети. Едновременно страстно привлечена от него, но и разкъсана от подозрението, че той е може би крадецът, Анук трябва да се научи отново да се доверява и да живее истински.

А какво по-добро място от Париж да излекуваш душата си и да започнеш да обичаш отново?

#3 The Little Perfume Shop off the Champs-Йlysйes

What is French for falling in love?

When Del leaves small town America to compete in a perfume competition in Paris, she thinks it is just the next step on her five-year-plan. It’s an exciting opportunity. What started out as just a dream for Del and her twin sister is nearly in her grasp. If she wins this competition, they are on their way to opening their very own perfume boutique!

Arriving in Paris, watching the sun glinting off the Seine and wandering the Champs-Elysees, Del discovers the most perfect perfumery she’s ever seen. Yet, as the competition dawns Del realises that whilst she might have had the best nose in her small village, her competitors seem to know more than she could ever have dreamed. This competition isn’t going to be easy…

Del has the romance of Paris to sweep her away from her worries, but as the competition heats up, so does her desire for that which she cannot have! If only the dashing owner Sйbastien didn’t smell so seductive, look so handsome and make her heart flutter like it never has before. They say love smells as sweet as a red rose in bloom, but Del would tell anyone that true love can’t be bottled – it’s beautiful and unique to everyone…even herself. With everything on the line for her future, can Del really let a little attraction get in the way of securing her dreams?
