The Chocolate Rose: (A Prequel to La Vie en Roses Series)

Romantic Times calls Laura Florand€s writing €œsensuous and sumptuous€, awarding her their Seal of Excellence, and NPR says it€s €œexplosive, sensual . . . and utterly sweet€.

Now, in the third book in the Amour et Chocolat series, a book USA Today calls €œso romantic and sexy€, Florand takes us from Paris to summer in Provence, for the steamy encounter between top chef Gabriel Delange and the daughter of his worst enemy, Jolie Manon. Hot-tempered Gabriel isn€t above blackmail to get what he wants, but what he wants might very well be Jolie herself. Because in the heat and sun of Provence, where jasmine and roses climb up old colored walls and fountains play in ancient stone villages, even a beast can prove he is a prince at heart . . .
