THE CHOCOLATE LOVERS' 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...Mention Containing Books The Chocolate Lovers' Club (Chocolate Lovers’ Club #1)

4.5 starsDespite this being the first in a series, I actually read it last!! I read The chocolate lovers diet many years ago not realising that this book came before it and I have since read the other two books in the series as well, so I was familiar with the characters.It was nice to read about how things started and was a thoroughly enjoyable book. I'm just now disappointed that my chocolate lovers journey had come to end where book wise it had only just began.Great summer read. Very likeable characters. Author's humor made me chuckle out loud at times. Also, gotta love a book that features chocolate so prominently!
WARNING: This book makes you crave chocolate very badly!!If you're on the lookout for a very light and fluffy story, and if you share a love for chocolate, then this is definitely the book for you. This narrative is about Lucy and her three friends who all indulge in chocolate whenever life becomes too hard. I especially like how this book is told from Lucy's perspective, but we get to follow the three other women as well from a third person perspective. In other words, we get very close with
Imagine if someone told you they were going to give you a beautiful, ribbon-tied box of Godiva chocolates (or better, handmade, fresh cream-filled Mozarts flown over from Vienna that day), you'd be really looking forward to that. Imagine then if with a bright smile, they gave you a family-size bag of Hershey's Assorted Miniatures instead. There would definitely be some disappointment there, eh? And so there is in this book. It's not Godiva, not even Lindt, it's a collection of stories, Snickers,
This is an easy read - it is like putting together Bridget Jones and Love Actually - easy, sometimes witty, sometimes sad - the characters are what you would expect - this makes a good book for spending a long winter afternoon - I have the suspicion I will not remember much from this book in a years time - or maybe I will - the chocolate consumption while I had read it :)
** 3.5 CHOCOLATEY STARS! ** There are times when chocolate really is the answer to all of your prayers.***Okay I'm not going to say too much about this, just the bare necessities. 1. This was a fun, quick read.2. The consumation of chocolate was a bit excessive. These ladies ate chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as snacks and in liquid form. It's understandable to love chocolate, as do I, but this was just excessive. No one in their right mind eats THAT much chocolate every day
I love chocolate and I enjoy these books also. I like how the story is about 4 woman who have bonded over their love of chocolate. So many ups and downs for each woman and so so real also. Funny, heartwarming and enjoyable. I would have read this faster if I had more time in the day. I cant wait to read the second book. It makes me realize how much I miss good chocolate from Britain. Lucy is funny and always getting herself into a predicament, Chantel is sex starved (no easier way to say it),
