Have it ever happened to you guys, start reading a book, immediately having issues with it, consider DNF it... and in the end finding yourself in love with it? -_- Well, that's what happened with me. I found the beginning more than awkward _being currently reading the following volume, I have to say...

Not quite as fantabulous as book one, but still, something really compelling about it. First the quibbles - at times it was a little too precious, a little too drawn out with the yearning and emotional issues. I wanted to tell Magalie to get over herself sometimes because enough already. Maybe it ju...

Is there anything more sensual-sexy-decadent than the chocolate in CT (#1)? Apparently there’s plenty more in his MACARONS. Locally all the macarons I’ve come across are chewy sweet and coconut-filled… which while not bad, are concoctions that I highly doubtful to be comparable to anything like what...

Welcome to La Maison des Sorcieres. Where the window display is an enchanted forest of sweets, a collection of conical hats delights the eye and the habitues nibble chocolate witches from fanciful mismatched china.

I was a little nervous starting this. Florand had two five star books in a row, for me -- could she possibly pull off a hat trick? Yes. Yes she could.Magalie, the daughter of a trans-continental marriage, spent her youth being shuttled between France and America. As an adult, she made the most secu...

These are fun light reads–contemporary romances set in Paris. I enjoyed them a lot, although I’m not really big on contemporary romances at the moment. I think The Chocolate Kiss, with its lovely descriptions of La Maison Sorcières, is my favorite. Florand has just released The Chocolate Rose, which...

I got off to a slow start with this book, the increased mysticism between this and The Chocolate Thief put me off. Once I got past the whole "French people are magic" issue, however, I really enjoyed the story. Florand pays lavish attention to how a hero and heroine will fit into each other's live...

I sat up till 1 AM with The Chocolate Kiss, waiting for the moment when the magic of The Chocolate Thief would be re-captured, but to no avail. I fell asleep with my lights on, dreaming of witches and chocolates and pastries and Sylvain Marquis...not Philippe Lyonnais. Needless to say, that would ma...

This book should really be called "How to Manipulate People Into Doing What You Want Them To Do, or the Abusive Asshole Handbook."When Smart Bitch Sarah chose The Chocolate Kiss for the March book club pick, she said it was like You've Got Mail, the cute 1999 Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie, which was ...

Magalie Chaudron lives high in a tower over the tiny tea salon La Maison des Sorcières (the witches' house). In the window there is always a unique chocolate display depicting magical wonders, the walls are decorated with witches' hats and customers can buy divine hot chocolate that Magalie has stir...
