Carole Matthews- Chocolate Lovers' Club

Ooh... Even the name of this book ounds delicious, what say the book?
This book is about four girls who are totally addicted to chocolate. Sounds boring? Totally NOT!

The main character is Lucy Lombard a thirty something (or was it twenty something?) single lady who has a boyfriend that just can't stay loyal. She is the founding member of the Chocolate Lovers' Club, a club which meets up at a neatly tucked-away outlet called Chocolate Heaven, every time any of them have problems. Lucy's problem : Handling Marcus, her super-unloyal boyfriend, jacob, a cute guy with a dark secret and Aiden Holby, her super-cute boss who hits on her.

There's also Autumn, a creative art teacher at a drug rehab centre which runs programs for youngsters who want to kick their addiction to drugs. Autumn comes from a rich family and has a younger brother who sells recreational drugs. As the older sibling in a family whose parents are too busy working, Autumn's main problem is keeping her brother out of trouble. In this book, she goes to great lengths to ensure that her brother is well protected.

Next, is Nadia, a married Asian woman with a young child. Her husband, Toby, is addicted to online gambling and the family is in jeopardy as he gambles nearly everything away. Nadia has been 'disowned' by her family members as they dissaprove of her choice of a husband. Thus, she has nobody to confide in with the exception of the four members of the Chocolate Lovers' Club.

Last but most interesting, is Chantal, the only American in the 'gang'. Chantal is a journalist for a magazine but is currently based in the UK. Her marriage is breaking down although she still loves her husband desperately. Nevertheless, she has a few flings and they get her into serious trouble.

Combined together with Clive and Tristan, the gay owners of Choclate Heaven, this gang of Chocolate addicts never fail to dissapoint, giving readers their fair share of excitement, love and laughs.

Frankly, Carole Matthews' books have always rocked, but this is by far her best book ever! Of course, there's also the sequel to this book, Chocolate Lovers' Diet, which rocks too, but I shall not write further for fear of boring you.. If and only if you want to know more, leave me a comment!

Toodles!
