The story centers on four different women who are brought together by their love of chocolate. It's a story about love, friendship, life's hurdles and of course, chocolate. Think 'Bridget Jones' Diary' meets 'Sex and the City'.
For someone like me, who doesn't read chick novels very often, this one was a very enjoyable and easy read. With these kind of books I find them being a lot more entertaining if you can apply some of the situations from it to your own life. The good thing is you don't have to think too hard or pay too much attention as the story itself is very engaging and easy to follow.

since the last book I read was so scholarly and such...I figured time for something light and fluffy. This chocoholic chick-lit definitely was light but it wasn't anything too special. (as I expected)

Four friends have joined together to form an exclusive group called the Chocolate Lover's Club. The only rule pretty much is that you have to be willing to drop everything if someone is in need of a supporting shoulder and of course...chocolate! Now that you now the rule, let me introduce you to the ladies. First there is Lucy Lombard. She is the founding member of the club and a fan of anything chocolate. Next comes Autumn, who's darkest desires can only be clamed by rich, dark chocolate. Then you have Naida. She is the only one out of the group who is a mother. She has a three year old son named Lewis. She like Lucy does not have a preference in what type of chocolate she likes but unlike Lucy she eats it without really savoring the experience. Lastly there is Chantal Hamilton. She and her wealthy husband, Ted moved to London from sunny California.
The gals meet regularly at a quiet cafe called Chocolate Heaven. Where else would four chocolate fanatics meet?The best part is that Heaven is run by two gay guys who are chocolate lovers as well. The business end is mainly run by Tristan, a former accountant. The real magic comes from the kitchen where Clive, a master chocolatier is most happy at. Lucy, Autumn, Naida, and Chantal get together to discuss their jobs, bosses, families, and their sex lives or in Chantal's case lack there of. I don't know what Ted is thinking not wanting Chantal. Maybe that is why Chantal finds herself at a swanky hotel trying to get some. If only she had thought the whole situation though, she won't be in the predicament that she now finds herself in. At least she has her friends to help her out.
Lucy, Autumn, Naida, and Chantal's lives may not be perfect but then who needs perfect when you have good friends served up with a side of delicious chocolate. The Chocolate Lover's Club hits you in all the right places and leaves you craving more. This is the ultimate chick-lit book. This is a good thing as you will want to tell all of your girlfriends to pick up a copy of this novel today. I enjoyed myself reading this story. I plan to keep my eye on Carole Matthews and what she writes next.

Such a fun book! It's funny, charming, and will make you understand that there is never such a thing as too much chocolate. With schemes and mishaps as well as real life tough situations, it's wonderful book about friendship and chocolate! Nice weekend read.

The Chocolate Lover Club is the first in a series, I have only read this first book so far and cannot wait to indulge in the others. If you are a fan of chocolate (I am) you will fall in love with this book. I found this book an easy to read, fast paced and a bad influence book! Be warned you will need chocolate to get you through this book, I know I did. I really enjoyed this book and parts had me giggling away to myself! This book is beautifully written and deserves the five stars I have awarded. This is the perfect book for readers who love chocolate, chick-lit, humor, romance and contemporary.
The chocolate lovers club brings together four very different women who have one thing in common, yes that’s right CHOCOLATE! With all the women battling their own situations they are sure to have plenty to talk about when there chocolate meetings are called to order. You will be begging to join the chocolate lovers club yourself by the end of the book! I really would urge you to read this book and find out what makes this club so different from others. Chocolate at ready..
I will be reviewing the rest of the series when I get a chance to read them! This is one of the best books Carole has written I would say so far.
