Review: I don't even know where to begin other than to say you must order this book! It was FUNNY, sweet, heart tugging, FUNNY, full of to die for chocolate recipes and did I mention FUNNY!!!!!

Summary: This book is a must-read!
Review: I loved this book. This funny, sexy, melt-in-your mouth story about a sensible bride-to-be, her straight-laced groom-to-be, and an accidental complication--a temptingly delicious bachelor-for-life with a romantic streak as wide as a river of Godiva kept me guessing all the way to the tasty conclusion.

The moment I read about the heroine waking up in the wrong man's bed after her can't-find-a-wedding-dress pity party (whoops!) I knew this story was a winner. If you love romantic comedy, especially fast-paced, witty, FUN writing, this is the book for you.

Summary: even the recipes made me laugh
Review: It's a delicious frothy book. The hero and heroine are fun together and the over-the-top secondary characters (like the much-marrying mom) add plenty of color to the mix. WARNING: Do not attempt to read this unless you have chocolate in the house. At least have a few chocolate chips on hand.

Summary: Seconds please?
Review: Take one frazzled housewife/slash mother of 2.

Bring to boil over low heat.

Add splash of romance and arousal, via Shirley Jump novel.

Let simmer.

Dribble in ecstasy inducing chocolate confections.

Keep adding the chocolate.

More chocolate.

Ok, almost done...

What a book. By the end, my mouth was watering. I even found myself driving to Sonic for a hot fudge cake sundae to satisfy my cravings. Didn't work. Need more story instead. This book was a fun story, very delicious. Can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Summary: The Bride wore chocolate, and so did I...
Review: With 'The Bride Wore Chocolate,' Shirley Jump has created a fantastic confabulation not unlike one of the fabulous featured recipes included at the beginning of each chapter. Entertaining, sexy, funny and delicious, this is one romance you do NOT want to miss out on. And you don't want to miss out on these recipes, for that matter...

Isn't it true that just when you think you have your life planned out, and everything is running smoothly, a spanner is thrown in the works that changes the way that you see your life? Candace's spanner is called Michael Vogler, self-appointed rescuer from her boring, predictable life (and her boring, predictable fiance with his overbearing, muu-muu-clad mother). And once he's there, she just can't get away from him... until, tonnes of chocolate (and five pounds) later, she realises that she really doesn't want to.

With witty dialogue, convincing characters, and a seductive hero, this book is completely satisfying. A five-star winner. And as for those delicious recipes... oh, my. I can't say enough about those recipes - and I've never read such entertaining recipes, either :) But you don't want to read this book without chocolate on hand, because the constant references to chocolate might get to be too much after a while ;P

After having read only one of her books, I'm hooked, and hopelessly addicted to Shirley Jump. She has leapt into my top five romance authors list, and this is high praise indeed coming from a literary snob.

So click that button. Buy this book. Otherwise, face tossing and turning at nights, wondering what it is that we're all raving about and what it is that you're missing out on.
