TITLE:  The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris
AUTHOR:  Colgan, Jenny

GENRE:  Fiction/Chick-lit

DATES READ:  8/6/2013 - 8/11/2013

MY RATING:  4/5

To begin with, I love the cover as well as the description on the back of this delicious looking story.  I don't always go for chick-lit novels which mean well, but are mostly good-natured fluff.  I had to make an exception for Jenny Colgan's The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris.  I spotted it while I was traveling over in Hamburg, Germany.  And I'm glad that I did.

This book was a perfect little chocolate delight!  The plot and setting were far-fetched but wonderful for a chick-lit novel.  I mean, a chocolate shop in Paris?!  Absolutely fabulous!!!

The characters were by-far my favorite part;  Thierry, Claire, Laurent, and even Alice were described with a delicacy that let you fill in the details for yourself.  I adore the plot, the recipes, and how this book made me crave chocolate (as if I needed help with that!).

Every once in a while the writing was decidedly British, as can be expected from a British author.  I stumbled over a bit of the slang and terminology used, but once I got past it I adored this morsel of a novel.  I love romance!

Will read and write soon!
