Chocolate, romance, and a little French culture...
Review of The Loveliest Chocolate Shop in Paris - Jenny Colgan by Kukana

Advantages: Good story, interesting background, believable people
Disadvantages: Won't appeal to those who prefer fast action and excitement

I read quite a bit. My preferred genre is that broadly categorised as 'women's fiction', of a light but not brainless kind. It tends to take a while for a new (to me) author to hit my radar; however, I had read several reviews of Jenny Colgan's books and ... Read review

I've read very mixed reviews of this.. so far I haven't been tempted to try it, but you make it sound rather interesting. Perhaps, when I've worked through some of the many on my shelves, I might try this after all. by Kukana
Personally, I found the religious stuff utterly unconvincing and tiresome with it, but the bit in the boat is excellent adventure writing. by torr
