Paper Love (Matchmaking Cats Book 1) Kindle Edition

Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan in this lesbian enemies to lovers romance from best-selling author Jae.

Susanne Wolff isn’t thrilled when her mother sends her all the way across the country to Freiburg to save her uncle’s stationery store from bankruptcy. Freiburg is too provincial for her taste, and besides, pen and paper are outdated anyway.

Anja Lamm, Paper Love’s only full-time employee, takes an instant dislike to the arrogant, digital-loving snob who’s supposed to be her temporary boss.But thanks to a meddling cat, a business trip to a stationery fair, and an armada of origami boats, Anja soon starts to see beneath Susanne’s aloof exterior, and Susanne discovers how sexy pens and notebooks can be—at least when Anja handles them.

As the end of Susanne’s three-month stay approaches, will she stick to her plan to leave, or will she open her heart to more than just paper love?

Paper Love is a great book that will keep you up at night, turning pages... I recommend it as one of Jae's best yet, along the lines of Perfect Rhythm, Something in the Wine and Just for Show. - Rainbow Moose's Reviews
Jae as always delivers a well written, entertaining and original story. A feel good slow-burn romance set in a charming city. - LezReviewBooks
Paper Love is another really great f/f romance from Jae that you should absolutely pick up. Especially if you like reading work place romances. - Alex Reads Boooks

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jae is the author of twenty-four award-winning sapphic romances. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.

She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.

When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of sapphic books, indulges her ice cream and stationery addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

‘Paper Love’ was a wonderful love story in a very different and unique setting

‘Paper Love’ was a wonderful love story in a very different and unique setting
‘Paper Love’ is set in the city of Freiburg, a place where local folklore says stepping in a Bachle, an ancient water channel running through the streets, results in marrying a local and living there forever. High powered business analyst Suzanne doesn’t believe a word of it. We meet this Ice Queen as she temporarily moves to Freiburg to help her Uncle Norbert save his ailing stationery business. There she meets his assistant Anya, who is more like a daughter to Nobby. Neither woman is looking for a fling but sometimes love has a way of changing our best laid plans.I loved seeing how Suzanne and Anya began to enjoy each other’s company. Suzanne just needed someone to warm her up - the Ice Queen soon began to melt. Anya wasn’t one to take risks with her life but sometimes you just have to make a leap, take a chance. Or you can spend your whole life wondering. She was sweet and caring and deserved to be happy with her forever someone. But would it be Suzanne?The story being set in a stationery shop was fascinating but it has left me with one problem. I think I’m even more hooked on beautiful stationery and journals than I was before, so Jae is going to cost me a fortune on my new obsession. She has ignited in me a serious stationery addiction. Thanks Jae!‘Paper Love’ was a wonderful love story in a very different and unique setting. It was beautifully done and Jae never fails to leave me with a happy, joyful feeling in my heart. Highly recommended.

Very much enjoyed this romance story between Inja, a nerd for pricey ink pens, and Susanne, a mistress of setting up business websites. Again Jae does a wonderful job of portraying the emotional and trauma histories of both women. As in all her novels, doing this really adds depth to the story. Also enjoyed the 'setting' of modern day Freiberg, Germany. Where Jae now lives. The writing is superb and the interior voice ruminations of both women are done splendidly. How they move from instant dislike at first to emotional bonding of their hearts really propels this story. Highly recommended. Tom.

5.0 out of 5 stars sweet romance
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022

Paper Love is a sweet romance set in the small town of Freiburg. Susanne is “volun-told” by her mother to go help out her uncle’s stationery store that is in a bit of financial trouble. There she meets Anja who is blissfully unaware of any financial issues and has to deal with a super frosty Susanne.

So many things appealed to me about this book. There is a word that keeps recurring throughout -“Bächle”, I googled it along with Freiburg and sweet heavens, the pictures of Freiburg were as if it’s straight from a fairy tale. With those lovely images and descriptions floating in my head, I totally geeked out with Anja and her love of paper journals and fountain pens 🥰.

This was an ice queen / opposites attract romance and Susanne’s character as the ice queen is not very likable in the beginning but there are some very sweet moments towards the middle and later half of the book that had me rooting for her.

Apart from the temperaments of both MCs being diametrically opposite, there is also a nice juxtaposition of digital vs paper thread and how both can and do exist together.

This book is set in Germany, and even though everything is in english, a few sprinklings of german words and maybe some phrasing had me imagining everyone speaking english with a german accent 😂. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I also loved the slow burn of this story and the payoff was 🔥 and totally worth the wait.

This is a low angst - low drama tale and really is about the journey the two MCs go through in getting to know each other and falling in love.

Aside from giving me some major travel yearnings and making me want to purchase “yet another” journal that I will never write in, this book ended up being a very enjoyable afternoon read.

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2023

I loved this story. Susanne has some demons of her own to purge as well as trying to figure out how to save Uncle Norbert’s store. But complicating matters for her is her uncle’s employee, Anja. And while there are physical sparks between them from the beginning, they each manage to make less than stellar impressions of each other. But working together day after day changes everything. The only question is can Susanne admit to herself how she really feels or will she lose Anja for a job she doesn’t even want anymore?

I recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, Pleasant, and Predictable
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023

Another comfortable romance from Jae-- but maybe it's a bit too comfortable, and not in the best way.

There's an almost Hallmark setup, beginning with a local legend that means our city girl will be marrying a local. There's some Ice Queen, but it goes away quickly (adorably so!); the story plays out exactly as you'd expect. It's very cute, and I can believe these women are in love.

Once again, Jae has [parental figure] getting [injury] as a tension point. This time, it doesn't seem to mean anything at all-- as in, it doesn't seem to lead to anything.

Overall pleasant, but nothing inspiring especially memorable. The setting is excellently delivered, though!

Paper Love is a wonderful sweet romance, another wonderful story by Jae. Suzanne WOLFF and Anja LAMM - of course they have to start off as enemies, but that will definitely change as you continue reading. You'll fall in love with the characters, the town, the story and of course the cat, too!

This book is definitely worth the read. I was worried that I would not care for it, so I actually put it off for about 8 months or so. In the end it's by Jae, so of course it was amazing. No need to put this one off, read it right away.

I'm not gonna say anything interesting 'cause people already did a great job reviewing this book, so I just wanted to add that I liked it very much, enemies-to-lovers and the plus plus plus of my beloved Stationery world! Pens and romance? Recipe for success! I even saved the pen's names to buy if one day I become loaded because a teacher's salary ain't buying none. And the city where it all takes place sounded so quaint and made me want to visit Germany.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet read
Reviewed in Germany on September 17, 2018

This is a stationery geek romance and I thoroughly loved it. It's well written and well paced, just as you'd expect from a Jae novel, but there's one novelty that especially delighted me: it's set in Freiburg, Germany, which is Jae's hometown, as I understand it. Now, I don't mind stories being set elsewhere but as I'm German myself, I'm always happy to every now and then pick up a book that's set in a surrounding I'm familiar with. I've been to Freiburg a couple of times and I saw it all very clearly as I joined Susanne and Anja - the 'Bächle', the Münsterplatz, the weekly market etc., and I loved it!

I hugely enjoyed the stationery geek-outs throughout the book because I'm a stationery geek, too. I love fountain pens and notebooks and I can spend hours and hours in shops like Paper Love, of which there are not enough, sadly. You can tell Jae loves all of this, too, her descriptions and details are spot on and a delight to read.

'Paper Love' is a perfect, easy holiday read that keeps you well entertained until the end - and I mean 'easy read' in the best of senses; it's not shallow or stupid at all. It flows nicely without major angst or nailbiting, although not all's well and sweet. There's misunderstandings and seemingly incompatible mindsets, there's brain vs. heart...in short, just the right amount of salt to make you enjoy the slow-burning romance even more.

Highly recommended. Five of five stars.
