Lemon Truffles Review
Lemon Truffles - Love Instantly - CeCe Monet

Cheng Liu is a hot shot young Chinese professional. He’s tall, polished, assertive, sexy, ambitious, good looking and used to speaking up and getting what he wants. So when he sees beautiful and equally poised, but shy and reserved African-American professional Angela Hawkins, he knows that opposites definitely attract in this case. He simply must go introduce himself to her and maybe even seduce her in the process…

 

Two young adult workaholic professionals share one steamy, pleasurable night together in Hong Kong. Yet can their short, passionate one night affair turn into a lifetime of love, happiness and companionship? Can their AMBW (Asian Man Black Woman), lemon and chocolate swirl decadence, creamy, sultry, rich, sweet, tangy and indulgent romance survive a seemingly betrayed promise?

 

Review

 

This wasn't a terrible read by any means. It was simply flat and failed to shine. The plot is a very well traveled one. One night stand. Lost number. Reunited. Child.

It is set again an more international background though the ages of the characters are a bit too young for the kind of success they had. The heroine is engaged when the hero happens to find her.

 

The interracial piece has promise with an Asian hero and an African American heroine which is why I picked up the book but while it is thought about it doesn't really impact the characters or the plot in any real way.

 

The main issue is all the telling vs showing that goes on.

 

I will check out another book by this writer to see if things are improving, however.
