"Rosalie Laurent is the proud owner of Luna Luna, a little post-card shop in St. Germain, and if it were up to her, far more people would write cards. Her specialty is producing "wishing cards," but where her own wishes are concerned the quirky graphic artist is far from lucky. Every birthday Rosalie sends a card inscribed with her heart's desire fluttering down from the Eiffel Tower - but none of her wishes has ever been fulfilled. Then one day when an elderly gentleman trips up in her shop and knocks over a post-card stand, it seems that her wish cards are working after-all. Rosalie finds out that it is Max Marchais, famed and successful author of children's books who's fallen into her life. When he asks her to illustrate his new (and probably last) book, Rosalie is only too glad to accept, and the two - very different - maverick artists become friends. Rosalie's wishes seem to be coming true at last, until a clumsy American professor stumbles into her store with accusations of plagiarism. Rosalie is hard pressed to know whether love or trouble is blowing through her door these days, but when in doubt, she knows that Paris is Always a Good Idea when one is looking for the truth and finding love"--

A little mystery...a little romance...and, of course, Paris. That's the gist of this book.
Rosalie is the owner of a tiny postcard shop in Paris. One day she is asked to illustrate a wonderful children's book written by one of France's most renowned children's book authors, and she does so, to wide acclaim. Then an angry man comes into her shop, furious that a story his mother told him over and over as a child has been stolen and made into a book illustrated by Rosalie. Who is right? Who wrote this story? Can the man and Rosalie work together to solve this mystery?
All the characters are quite likable, even the minor ones, and the little mystery is fun, if predictable. The Paris setting zooms this book up to a notch above your average Paris romance.
