Summer Desserts (Great Chefs, #1) (Language of Love, #23 - Dahlia)
by Nora Roberts
by Nora Roberts
Reactions:
Impressive mastery! Nora Roberts was able to build all of her novel on the attraction between Blake and Summer. It was so well put together that the story, the setting or the events become secondary. The author manages to lead his reader by the nose ... She manages to capture and keep the attention of her assistance just by describing in a fair, poignant and vivid words the feelings that are born, grow and flourish between the main characters.
From the first pages, the reader falls under the spell, the elegance, the simplicity and the piquancy of Summer. As for Blake, it's his arrogance, his businesslike manners and his romanticism that make him lovable. The characters have the same flaws as everybody and that's why the magic is there.
Even if the reader expects a "happy ending" and scenes of romances, he does not expect the subtlety of words and descriptions. Everything is suggested, left to the reader's imagination. Nothing to do with some romance novels rather raw and detailed on the sex scenes. There is style and refinement in the writing of Nora Roberts.
Nora Roberts is one of the authors I discovered while living in the United States and with which the magic begins at the first lines.
By cons, is the first time that history matters so little to me... I became the spectator of a book as if I was in a movie. I saw the birth of an attraction full of peppers, an incredibly terrifying attraction ending with a bet on the future. A simple love story enhanced by the pen of a talented author to bloom into a beautiful fairy tale.
