Laura Florand has quick become one of my favorite and most anticipated authors. She writes such sexy books. Today we are unveiling the cover of her next release, The Chocolate Temptation:

She hated him.

Patrick Chevalier. The charming, laid-back, golden second-in-command of the Paris pastry kitchen where Sarah worked as intern, who made everything she failed at seem so easy, and who could have every woman he winked at falling for him without even trying. She hated him, but she’d risked too much for this dream to give up on it and walk out just so he wouldn’t break her heart.

But he didn’t hate her.

Sarah Lin. Patrick’s serious, dark-haired American intern, who looked at him as if she could see right through him and wasn’t so impressed with what she saw. As her boss, he knew he should leave her alone. The same way he knew better than to risk his heart and gamble on love.

But he was never good at not going after what – or who – he wanted.

He could make magic out of sugar. But could he mold hate into love?

I’ve had a sneak peek at The Chocolate Heart which is out next week, and Patrick has a lot of page time. I fell in love with him. A lot of this author’s heroes are very intense but Patrick has a much more playful side and I can’t wait for him to have his own book.

The Chocolate Temptation is out this January. If you haven’t read this author, take a look at her work:

Amour et Chocolat series (while characters make appearances in each book, they can be read as stand alones). Click on the links to read my reviews.

The Chocolate Thief (I think this is the weakest of the series)
The Chocolate Kiss (my favorite. SO GOOD)
The Chocolate Rose (a very well done novella)
The Chocolate Touch (loved)
The Chocolate Heart (comes out next week!)

Snow-Kissed (novella not related to the above series. A ‘marriage in trouble’ story. Very well done)
