The Chocolate Temptation by Laura Florand

Point of View: The book starts with Dom, which is a great way to build interest in the heroine by focusing on the mystique she creates to him. Location: The story is set in Paris, France and that alone is enough to make me swoon with romance, but it is also springtime when the city is at its best. The plot points smoothly roll from one to the next, never feeling too fast or too slow, just gracefully carrying the reader along until the culmination of the story. Writing Style: The way this novel is written fits well with the world and characters it depicts. The title partially covers the duo on this book and the background has changed from a street to the park by the Eiffel Tower, but it is most certainly a stock image rather than one photographed particularly for this novel. Yet once you have spotted your heart’s true craving, simply looking is no longer enough.Ĭover: At first I did not notice, but the couple on this book’s cover is the same pair as can be found on “Crossing” by Stacey Wallace Benefiel. Of course if she really knew him, she would run. But this shy, freckled American who sits alone in his salon, quietly sampling his exquisite confections as if she can’t get enough of them-enough of him-is something else. Sitting in Dom’s opulent chocolaterie in Paris day after day, she lets his decadent creations restore her weary body and spirit, understanding that the man himself is entirely beyond her grasp.Ĭhocolate, Dominique understands-from the biting tang of lime-caramel to the most complex infusions of jasmine, lemon-thyme, and cayenne. Jaime Corey is hardly the first woman to be drawn to all that dark, delicious danger.

Synopsis: Dominique Richard’s reputation says it all-wild past, wilder flavors, black leather and smoldering heat.
