Book Beginnings...
"Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my daaaarling rose praline."
Singing to herself in a voice she knew was discordantly tuneless, Millie Swiss bent over her design of a rose, gripping the pen as she drew it carefully. Right now, it was on paper. Soon, if her plans worked out, it would be brought to life in chocolate.
From 56% on my e-reader...
Millie had time to see Claudette's shocked expression. She looked as if she'd seen a ghost.

I would love to go to chocolate shoppe in Paris. What a setting!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of this book and the series--and love the book cover.
ReplyDeleteThat does look good.
ReplyDeleteThe snippets do sound interesting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteChocolate and Paris is a great combo. And if she can't sing but loves to do it anyway, at least alone, she's a woman after my own heart (and lack of talent vocally).
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you enjoyed this one. I love the teasers and have been wanting to read something by this author.
