  <default_description>The Chocolate Lovers&#8217; Club brings together four very different women with one thing in common: they can't resist chocolate. This is an irresistible novel for anyone who wishes they were a member! Lucy Lombard can't resist it - rich, creamy, sweet, delicious chocolate. For her there's nothing it won't cure - from heartache to a headache - and she's not alone. Sharing her passion are three other addicts: Autumn, Nadia and Chantal. Together they form The Chocolate Lovers' Club. They meet in their sanctuary, Chocolate Heaven, as often as they can, and with a cheating boyfriend who promises he'll change, a flirtatious boss, a gambling husband and a loveless marriage, there's always plenty to discuss!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Because of this book, I created a Can't Finish shelf.  It was not the kind of book I enjoy.  I read only the first chapter and could not continue...trashy and misleading.  The main character talks about her addiction to chocolate and how they have to &quot;score&quot; and get their &quot;fix.&quot; ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54260029">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[First off, this potentially could've been the perfect book for me! I have to warn that there are explicit sex scenes and foul language. :( So sad because the stories of these women were great and I loved all of the characters!This book, besides the Rated R parts, would be the book that I set out to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54323160">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book to review it for our book page. I'd recommend it only if you're going to the beach and are looking for some mind-rotting chick lit. To get the idea of what this book is like, put Bridget Jones' Diary with Sex and the City, and stick them in a chocolate shop and make everything about...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48006708">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Quick, fun read. Nothing to write home about, but I did find myself to be intrigued... I can imagine this book being kind of like an episode of Sex and the City. Only way more chocolate. The chocolate concept did get to be a bit much. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This looked like it would be fun chick-lit. In the end, it felt even more predictable, even more pat, and even more helpless-chickadee than usual. Which is not to say it wasn't without its moments of humor or engaging writing -- but it never really drew me in. The author used some writing convention...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26441986">more...</a>]]></body>
