A note on chronology: This story takes place after The Chocolate Temptation and Shadowed Heart. The main characters are Patrick and Sarah, from The Chocolate Temptation. This is a story for people who loved those characters and that book. I would recommend reading it and, ideally, Shadowed Heart and “Heart’s Gift” before you read this story.

She was born in Georgia, but the travel bug bit her early. After a Fulbright year in Tahiti, a semester in Spain, and backpacking everywhere from New Zealand to Greece, she ended up living in Paris, where she met and married her own handsome Frenchman, a story told in her first book Blame It on Paris. Now a lecturer at Duke University, she is very dedicated to her research into French chocolate. For a glimpse behind the scenes of some of that research as well as recommendations for US chocolate, make sure to check out her website: www.lauraflorand.com.
Cute and sweet. Patrick wasn't my favourite Florand H, but he was fine just the same. As the only Asian character, I should be able to identify more with the h, Sarah, but I just couldn't. I guess that lack of connection translated into this short too, even years after reading their story.
