The Chocolate Touch Amour et Chocolat Laura Florand 9780758286321 Books

Jaime was beat up by some thugs and is recovering psychologically and physically. She is an heiress but keeps her name and money a secret. She believes she is unattractive and that men are only attracted to her money. Dom slept with many beautiful women before Jaime. So Jaime compares herself to them and feels lacking.

I wanted more plot. This was mostly internal angst about not feeling good enough for the other.

EXAMPLES OF CONFLICTS:
Jaime keeps her name and wealth a secret. After they are having a wonderful sexual relationship, she tells Dom she has money to live on if she needs it, but she doesn’t say how much. Immediately he becomes angry thinking “She was some kind of privileged princess...Crawling in the muck (with him - slumming).”

Jaime has a low self image and thinks “How could she ask him to stick himself with a woman who couldn’t rise above anything?”

Dom’s father beat him and his mother. Dom fears he might become abusive like his father. He thinks he’s not perfect enough for her.

Dom says “I want you to promise never to leave me. But I won’t believe you if you (promise).” Jaime says “I want you to promise never to let me go. But it’s hard to believe I have the right.”

FOREIGN WORDS:
I was annoyed with so many French words that I did not understand. I wish the author put translations in italics or parentheses after them. She did that occasionally, but not with most. The most frequent French word was Putain. I looked it up in Google translate which said whore or prostitute. That didn’t make sense since Dom frequently used it with Jaime. That would be an insult. I think it must be like the f-word or a swear word - not the Google definition. Here’s one of his sentences. “That sounds like a good place to start over. With only you. Putain, I would love to have a base like that.”

COVER PICTURE WRONG:
Dom has shaggy rebel black hair. Dom felt bigger than most men, oversized and clumsy. His hands were giant, hard laborer’s hands. The guy on the cover looks delicate and slim with neat short hair.

DATA:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 290 pages. Swearing language: strong but not often used. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: about 5, a few long. Setting: current day Paris, France. Copyright: 2013. Genre: contemporary romance.

The Chocolate Touch Amour et Chocolat Laura Florand 9780758286321 Books Reviews

Oh yeah....no one writes tortured, romantic heroes like Laura Florand. It's like, the passion of Heathcliff without the crazy and abuse. These men, all her men, are passionate about chocolate and the woman who steals their heart.

My impressions from Dom Richard have been through the eyes of his frenemies. Those impressions were that he was a brutish flirt, womanizer, and that he took arrogance to a new level. But I cheated. I read Sun-Kissed, and got a glimpse of a man in love, and who protected his love with a remarkable care. So, I knew Dom had it in him, but in this book I learned how far he'd come in his life, how hard he'd worked, how difficult it was for him to fall in love, and exactly how beautiful that love for Jamie Corey was.

I also went into The Chocolate Touch very curious about what Jamie had undergone off-page. I knew in Sun-Kissed that she'd been severely injured, but that she was okay. And that she had Dom. I have to say, Jamie has been the most endearing heroine of this series, for me. Her strength and capacity to love Dom was so beautiful.

Even though I knew where Dom and Jamie end up (Sun-Kissed is a must-read!), their story was all I'd hoped for. I loved The Chocolate Touch. I think I'm still a bit partial to The Chocolate Temptation, and The Chocolate Kiss is my favorite, but this one stands right up there.

Favorite Quotes
Him,with his all-out, aggressive, take-it-or-leave-it approach to women, he was so reined in, so subtle, so gentle. Slow, slow, slow, he told himself. Slow. She's a cream or a pastry or a chocolate to be tempered just right. Think about her that way. Sloooow.
Let her absorb you. Just the way she sat in the salle day after day and absorbed everything you made ,as if it was the only thing in life she wanted to do.

She pushed the free hand toward the one he held,apparently trying to gesture closeness."Warm,"she said again.And then she did something that undid him to the last faint whisper of his soulshe gave his hand a squeeze with fingertips that could just barely reach around his,apparently using him to indicate what she wanted to say. He meant warmth.He meant this word she couldn't find.
He turned and kissed her

"Whatever it is you're trying not to do. You can do it to me."
He had survived everything else after all.
She shook her head, her mouth a bitter twist as she forced her gaze back to her chocolate. "You don't know what you're asking."
"Then why don't you tell me?"
Blue eyes locked with his in one moment of naked honesty. "If I could, I would crawl into you and never come out.
"Why don't you ever stay the night with me? Only one time, since we've started dating, have you stayed until I woke up. It's confusing, the way you're always gone in the morning."
"I've always stayed the whole night," he said, startled. "I leave for work." Still pressed back against his desk, he stared at her. "You didn't know that?"
She shook her head.
"So when you wake up and I'm not there, you've been thinking--what?"
"That it's understandable you would need space. That I need to let you breathe."
There was a silence. "No," was all he said, the word packed tight with meaning. "No. I--breathe better when you're right here."
I wish, I wish I could give this all the stars in the universe! I love this book so much! This is the first book I ever read from Laura Florand and it began my obsession with her books. I've read all of them, many, many times. It's like I need them to survive or something. I need their colors, their textures, their scents, their luscious views, their hot men! The feelings they evoke in me, the life they breathe into me, the dreams they give me, the desire to look up these wonderful things like chocolate and perfumes and history and lands far far away. Her books make me want to travel and dream and experience and hope and taste and just feel. These books are everything to me, my soul needs them. I have never, ever experienced that with any other book and trust me, I've read thousands, hundreds of thousands! It's difficult to say which one is my favorite, because I'll read one and it'll just be perfect, then I'll read another and it too is just perfect. But alors, this one is my very first and so it holds a special place in my heart.
The Chocolate Touch is everything. I won't go into detail because it's just like chocolate, you can describe it, but really you have to taste it, you have to experience it. Ms Florand is simply as BRILLIANT as the artists she writes about. Thank you for sharing this gift with us. Don't ever stop!
