And before he realizes it he's sitting down in front of her, offering. From his view in the kitchen above the salon, Dom just as quietly holds his breath and hopes that it does. As though, if she could only absorb enough of his decadent chocolate, it will ease the bruised look from her face and clear the ever-present tension from her shoulders. Somehow, it is as though she is nourishing herself on his creations. And Dom is dismayed to realize he's begun looking forward to her daily arrivals, to what she'll order next. She sits alone and silent at a small table in the corner, sipping his chocolat chaud and sampling the various bon bons and tartes he so carefully crafts. Which is why he's taken somewhat aback at the effect it has on him when a single, unassuming American woman begins stopping by his chocolaterie every day like clockwork. Quite frankly, he accepts the accolades and attention that come his way as no more than his due. He's earned his stripes and is wholly unconcerned with the petty complaints of both his detractors and his peers. I was incredibly fortunate not to have to wait too long.ĭominique Richard has had to claw his way to the top of Paris' exclusive cabal of chocolatiers and patissiers.
After essentially melting down over the gooey goodness that was The Chocolate Kiss, I narrowly resisted the urge to ransack the state for a good macaron and settled for raising my fangirl flag high and awaiting the next book.
Those of you who've read the first two books know what a statement that is. And so while The Chocolate Touchsadly does not have an adorable silhouette cover in the vein of the first two books in the series, it makes up for it by featuring quite possibly the most overbearing of all overbearing French chocolatiers in Laura Florand's arsenal. I just want to make absolutely sure you all know going in that the quality-it remains high.
A classification I hope will excuse my reviewing this third installment a touch early. I am now three (or four, depending on how you slice it) books in and can categorically classify this series as bibliocrack of the highest order.
