It sounds like a no-brainer. Chocolate + Paris + Swoon. EEK. And I have 4 others to look forward to before this one. My FAVORITE is the slow burn with the small gestures that smolder. MMMMMMMMM Are they all like that? I can't wait!

I knew this series was making the rounds and has a lot of positive reviews, but I had no idea there were six books. That's a little daunting to me, but the fact that I've seen pretty much all praise and fluttery feelings for it means I should definitely get off my butt and give them a try. I'm glad you're still loving them so much this far in, Rachel.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net/2014/01/lostplanet.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-9835329418258602572014-01-28T15:23:31.662+00:002014-01-28T15:23:31.662+00:00WHY HAVEN'T I READ THIS YET RACHEL!

This story just sounds so beautifully romantic, and you know I love the slow burn romances, so I can't wait to dive into these books. Also, chocolate.

Patrick and Sarah were heartbreakingly lovable and fragile and I loved them so. <br /><br />I actually read The Chocolate Thief, then jumped ahead to this one since I had a review copy. I had to order paperbacks for my shelf! I will 100% be carving time for books 2-5 over the next month, as well as Florand's novellas and the Vie en Roses series. <br /><br /><br />Gorgeous review!
