Chocolate
This oneโs a โduhโ, 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. OhโMyโGoshโI
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 husbandโs face when he ate oneโฆ now, that was fun.
Pastries
Iโm 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 partโฆ you can eat
them for breakfast.
Ice Cream
Itโs hard to find ice cream that isnโt good, but the kind of ice cream Iโm
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 itโฆ oh wow. Iโve had lots of gelato from
Italy but this French vanilla ice creamโฆ 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. Thereโs soft, hard, warm,
cool, sweet, sharp, and Iโm not even a connoisseur. But my favorite kind is
baked brieโyou know the kind thatโs wrapped in warm pastry? Okay, maybe that
belongs in the pastry category, but itโs the cheese in the middle that really
gets me.
Pizza
Thereโs good pizza and then thereโs 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 itโs strange. Itโs
my husbandโs fault I got into that one, but I look forward to it every time.
Itโs no surprise that some, okay all, of these foods made their way into my book
RACING TO YOU. And since
theyโre best eaten in France, naturally thatโs 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 itโs 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 doesnโt help. When heโs not training for the Tour de France,
the cocky pro cyclist is flirting with Aurelia, but she didnโt 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 heโs 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 isnโt sure how far heโll go to
winโฆor how far sheโs willing to follow.
Warnings: Includes a hopelessly romantic hero, a guilt-free sex
proposition, a lot of orgasms and, of course, croissants.
