The Chocolate Kiss Amour et Chocolat Laura Florand 9780758269416 Books

Perhaps I am just not a Dessert Romance person, because I also found The Chocolate Kiss quite boring. I know a lot of readers will be captivated by the descriptions of Phillipe's macrons and Magalie's chocolate witches, but I simply wasn't. Magalie's aunts have owned their little shoppe for over 40 years, and then Phillipe moves in next door and lures away their customers. Magalie is not happy about this at all, and soon a little war develops between them. All is fair in love and war, right?

I do love enemies to lovers romances, but the rivalry in The Chocolate Kiss was just silly. A chocolate shoppe being upset about a patisserie opening next door is like McDonald's being mad at a Pizza Hut opening. They're different things! If people want chocolate, they'll still go into Magalie's store (which they do!) and if they want macrons, they wouldn't be coming in anyway! It's just ridiculous! The only thing about the rivalry that I enjoyed was that Phillipe and Magalie were trying so hard to get the other to taste their treats and failing!

I don't have much to say about The Chocolate Kiss at all. It just wasn't my thing. The opening was odd and made it seem like it was going to be a magical read with the witches and the wishes. I almost wish it had been, because I probably would have liked it more. As it is, I was mostly bored and annoyed by Phillipe and Magalie. Their big, brief drama near the end made me roll my eyes so hard. The actual romance was better than the first book though, and actually got quite sexy in places, so that was a plus.

The Chocolate Kiss Amour et Chocolat Laura Florand 9780758269416 Books Reviews

Never have I read a book with so much passion, sensuality, and longing as The Chocolate Kiss. To be perfectly honest, I can't even write a true review of The Chocolate Kiss because I'm a jumbled-up mess of word vomit and big feelings. I'm basically keeping myself on a tight leash here. I can't really wrap my mind around the ways I loved the story.

I went into The Chocolate Kiss expecting an amazing story. I have no hesitation with my expectations because this is the fifth of Florand's books I've read and every single one of them has been a remarkable reading experience. Here, we have a heroine in Magalie who's built the thickest, strongest walls around her heart, and a man, Philippe, who doesn't want to destroy those walls, but simply wants her to make a space for him. The antagonism between the two is thick and tense, as is the passion. The build-up is kept at a low simmer...until it just boils over and man, is the passion ever on from then forward.

Florand has an unparalleled knack for creating the best men. They are alpha men who aren't jerks, but very passionate and confident. Stubborn when it comes to winning the woman they love's heart. They express their love through their work, be it the world's finest chocolate, a sugar spun confection, or a macaron made to embody their affection. The passion in this story was remarkable. I do not understand how any writer can describe making hot chocolate or a macaron as more passionate than actually making love, but Laura Florand does it. Like a boss.

Florand's writing unfailingly takes my breath away. As I read The Chocolate Kiss, I would continually grab my (very indulging) husband's arm and sigh dramatically. He would smile and say "You love it so much, yeah?" I would sigh even harder and more dramatically, read a beautiful passage, and then I would say "See how much he loves her? How patient he is? How careful he is with her heart?" This cycle repeated itself throughout my reading of the book. Did I mention my husband is indulging?
Laura Florand has secured her place as my favorite author. I emphatically recommend The Chocolate Kiss specifically, and her entire work as a whole.

Favorite Quotes

"Magalie. I didn't want you to make me have to do this, because you're so sensitive about competition. But if you want chocolate, I can make chocolate"--he leaned toward her a little, his teeth showing sharp-- "that will melt your insides out."
She lifted her chin him, feeling those insides melt just at the thought of him trying
"So here I am, torn apart. I really didn't want to be torn apart. I liked who I was."
"You liked your tower," he murmured, his voice almost an apology. "Do you really think I broke it? I just wanted to make room for me inside."
This romance is the best in so many ways. It has the best retelling of a fairy tale I have ever read in the Romance Genre and given the amount of books I have read this is no small feat. It has an amazing non Man Ho hero and fierce gotta a lot of emotional growing to do heroine. Its set in Paris and the setting is a compelling character in the book. The secondary characters are notable, insightful, and wonderful. Its real. I love these kinds of romances the most. We can have this real love as the flawed people we. Those of us lucky enough to have this kind of love see what real love looks like shining back to us in these pages are are affirmed. It has the best food play scene. Bar none. Game over. The publisher is Kensington so the ebook is lendable which always makes me happy.

Now, lets talk about the gifts of this writer. Her style, much like the dark chocolate that this novel is dipped in, may not be for everyone but for me she hits all the right notes and weaves all the arcs into fine music that had me up reading all night. The little metaphors and descriptions of food, the body, the city, weather, and feelings are startling yet subtle. She handles the psychological complexity of her characters and their motivations within the fram work of grand romantic tropes and their reimagining; Enemies to Lovers, May-December, and Rapunzel with such grace.

And whipped cream on top-- the book is funny and fun and heartwarming and heartbreaking and oh so lovely.
