Chocolate
This one’s a “duh”, right? A lot of people love chocolate, the rich melt in your
mouth, ooey goodness. My best orgasmic chocolate experience was a box of Belgium
truffles a friend brought me fresh off the plane from Belgium. Oh—My—Gosh—I
rationed those things for a week. Each time I put one in my mouth, I seriously
had to close my eyes. It was an instinctive response. Of course, watching the
look on my husband’s face when he ate one… now, that was fun.
Pastries
I’m partial to croissants, specifically, you guessed it, the chocolate kind: a
warm pain au chocolat where the outside crunches into little flakes but
the inside oozes in your mouth. The variety of pastries is endless, the variety
of flavors and ingredients even more endless, and my favorite part… you can eat
them for breakfast.
Ice Cream
It’s hard to find ice cream that isn’t good, but the kind of ice cream I’m
talking about is one so rich in flavor, it literally blows your taste buds. My
ultimate ice cream experience was a vanilla cone in northern France, from a
street vendor, no place special and it… oh wow. I’ve had lots of gelato from
Italy but this French vanilla ice cream… I can still taste it. It was like
heaven mixed with the lightest cream, the purest vanilla and that perfect pinch
of salt. I would relive that experience daily if I could.
Cheese
Like pastries, cheese is a lifetime of possibilities. There’s soft, hard, warm,
cool, sweet, sharp, and I’m not even a connoisseur. But my favorite kind is
baked brie—you know the kind that’s wrapped in warm pastry? Okay, maybe that
belongs in the pastry category, but it’s the cheese in the middle that really
gets me.
Pizza
There’s good pizza and then there’s GREAT pizza. You can put anything on pizza
you want. My favorite kind, and this will make some people squirm, is a white
clam pizza. And not even with any cheese on it. Fresh clams baked on a nice
crispy crust with loads of fresh garlic and olive oil. I know it’s strange. It’s
my husband’s fault I got into that one, but I look forward to it every time.
It’s no surprise that some, okay all, of these foods made their way into my book
RACING TO YOU. And since
they’re best eaten in France, naturally that’s where it takes place. So take a
trip to southern France with me, filled with delicacies and beautiful beaches.
Oh, and I should probably warn you of my other guilty pleasure: an athlete in
spandex. The hero in Racing To You is a professional cyclist who spends
half the book clad only in his barely there racing uniform. Oops!
Let me know if I hit on your fav guilty pleasure eats. Perhaps I missed one, or
just got it plain wrong! Tell us below and enter to win a free digital copy of
RACING TO YOU.
Aurelia is living her dream, teaching for a year in the south of France.
Except it’s all going wrong. The carefree culture is challenging her academic
goals, and her students are so difficult that she wants the unthinkable: to give
up and go home.
Meeting Terrence doesn’t help. When he’s not training for the Tour de France,
the cocky pro cyclist is flirting with Aurelia, but she didn’t cross an ocean to
hook up with an American jock, even if he does have killer dimples and looks hot
in spandex.
Until the jock sets out to prove he’s more than mere muscle. He wants to
teach her what having fun really means, which could be as dangerous to her
structured life as it is to her heart.
As life hits unexpected roadblocks, they turn to one another for support, and
flirtation becomes game-changing love. But Terrence is chasing his dream of
being the fastest man on two wheels, and she isn’t sure how far he’ll go to
win…or how far she’s willing to follow.
Warnings: Includes a hopelessly romantic hero, a guilt-free sex
proposition, a lot of orgasms and, of course, croissants.
