Learning Curves 1
ამ ელწიგნის შესახებ
Take six Americans in Paris, a French cooking school and a sexy chef.
Bring together in an intensive workshop.
Let the mix simmer for a long weekend.
Serves one or two.
Savor cautiously, it's hot and a little spicy.
Unlike a lot of books that are romantic and sexy, this one has characters that are believable, and you want to get to know them. And there is a plot. It unfolds like a slow striptease, so you want to know more and keep reading. And, as you continue to read, you see how these people start to blend together like the ingredients in a delicious recipe that only a skillful French author could whip up.
The “sexy” is a silky soufflé and not a hot tamale.
It’s not quite erotica, but it has erotic moments.
You’ll finish French Cooking 101, feeling satisfied and waiting for another “meal” of the author’s writing. And that’s just the way it should be! I loved the additional of (actual) recipes at the end of the book, along with a tempting (advance book) sample of what you can expect next from the author. The book isn’t huge…I read it in one sitting, and enjoyed every minute of it. As a book reviewer who is exposed to plenty of really raunchy writing that is nothing more than a framework on which to place pornographic sex scenes, this was a breath of fresh air that had me believing that love and romance does still exist. If you plan to buy Learning Curves 1 you might as well get Learning Curves 2, Advanced French Kissing.
Just go for it and buy them together because you won’t want to wait to know what happens next. I know I can’t!
