 HOLY COW. I ate this book up like it was MADE of chocolat instead of ABOUT chocolate. I mean-seriously! I think I started it on a Thursday night and finished it on the following Friday-and it only took me that long because I had to go to work. *Glares at work.* It was a stay-up-until-my-eyes-burn-with-sleep kind of read, which is surprising since I haven't read much contemporary romance in the last couple of years. Even though I really enjoyed The Chocolate Kiss (book 3) it didn't compare my love of Dom and Jaime's story. 
 To start with, I need to warn you that there's clearly some backstory that I missed out on. I haven't read The Chocolate Thief, but I know enough about it to understand that Jaime is the sister of the female half of the couple featured in that book. I don't think I necessarily had to have read Cade and Sebastian's story, and nothing is really spoiled, but events are Mentioned. I actually think not knowing Jaime's history (which I assume occurred during the events of Thief) enhanced things for me, but I guess I'll never really know for sure. 
 Florand is a master at creating alpha heroes that are also incredibly vulnerable. And romantic. And sexy. Dominique goes to see his therapist for lessons on how to be in a relationship, for heaven's sake. And he feeds Jaime dark chocolate repeatedly. (The Chocolate Kiss focused on macarons. Dom's specialty is dark chocolate-which, honestly, is just another mark in its favor as far as I'm concerned.) Sex, food and Paris are so intrinsically linked in a Laura Florand novel that each book is a sensual overload. I mean, I've always wanted to move to Paris, but Laura Florand has me packing my bag and running for the nearest international airport. 
 Despite the fantasy of a holy trinity (chocolate, Paris and love) The Chocolate Touch, doesn't end with a perfectly tidy happily-ever-after. Yes, the main couple ends up together (these are romances, after all), but both Dom and Jaime have issues that are too complex to be resolved in the span of one novel. And while there's part of me that enjoys the fantasy that Love Cures All, I like these unresolved endings better. I wouldn't buy it if getting married cured Dom of all his anxieties over being loved and and an engagement ring isn't going to make Jaime forget the awful thing that happened to her. Love can help-but it can do all the healing. 
 Even if you're not a contemporary romance fan, I highly suggest you run out and buy something by Laura Florand. I promise she will not disappoint.
