Of course if she really knew him, she would run.” But this shy, freckled American who sits alone in his salon, quietly sampling his exquisite confections as if she can’t get enough of them-enough of him-is something else.

Jaime Corey is hardly the first woman to be drawn to all that dark, delicious danger. Goodreads has this for me: “Dominique Richard’s reputation says it all-wild past, wilder flavors, black leather and smoldering heat. It also took me over a week to read (bad in Romance Standard Time.) Caveats: I have been in a romance slump for awhile, and I may have just poisoned my own well too badly both in general mood and specific experience with this author.Īnd now that I am reviewing it basically a month later, I have the arduous task of even trying to remember it (she said, rolling her eyes to the heavens, cursing herself for ALWAYS DOING THIS.) Get on the bus with me while I POWER THROUGH! And no matter how he try to show his hard exterior.Well, okay, this wasn’t my least favorite Florand, but it didn’t blow me away either.
