THE CHOCOLATE TOUCH
Book ID/图书代码: 14780013B62619
English Summary/英文概要: Dominique Richard’s reputation says it all--wild past, wilder flavors, black leather and smoldering heat. Jaime Corey is hardly the first woman to be drawn to all that dark, delicious danger. Sitting in Dom’s opulent chocolaterie in Paris day after day, she lets his decadent creations restore her weary body and spirit, understanding that the man himself is entirely beyond her grasp.
Until he touches her. . .
Chocolate, Dominique understands--from the biting tang of lime-caramel to the most complex infusions of jasmine, lemon-thyme, and cayenne. 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. She has secrets too, he can tell. Of course if she really knew him, she would run.
Yet once you have spotted your heart’s true craving, simply looking is no longer enough. . .
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 可以用“狂熱的過去”、“失傳的調料”、“黑色皮革製品”和“陰燃的熱度”來概括Dominique Richard的聲譽。Jaime Corey不是第一個被那黑暗美味的危險吸引的女人。她每天坐在DOM的巧克力工廠體驗他的新創作,卻倍感疲倦,因為她清楚這個男人不在她的掌握之中。
一直到他來接觸她……這個男人非常瞭解巧克力,當他看到這個有雀斑的美國女孩,覺得她仿佛是那些精緻糖果的樣板。他們各懷秘密,但是如果她瞭解了真實的他,她會逃走的。
一旦你發現你內心真實的渴望,那麼僅僅觀望肯定是不夠的……(Flora)
