I was born in a small English village . . .
Actually, no. I was born in Hollywood, California, and have lived in Southern California most of my life. My parents were both teachers, so I grew up in a house filled with books and music. Also animals, and lots of relatives.
My grandmother taught me to read before I went to school. I can't remember a time I wasn't reading. We read everything. Comic books, the backs of cereal boxes, and lots of books. She also taught me to keep a journal from the time I was nine, so the pathway from my brain to a pen was developed early.
I never thought of being a writer. My uncle published a biography of Mozart. My father, a history professor, published three textbooks. As a child, I imagined that writers were alone at their desks, always isolated. They also got depressed when the rejections arrived. Not what I wanted to do for a living!
My parents always encouraged me to dream. Nothing was seen as out of reach, and a career in the arts was respected. When my father died two months before I graduated from college, I started writing a novel. It was my way of trying to find order in chaos and pain. Six years after I started, I published that novel, and went on to write a few dozen more.
I was so wrong about the writing life. You're never alone, you're surrounded by your characters, always thinking about them, laughing and cheering them on or crying when they face heartbreak. And as for the rejections? The truth is that writing is not for the faint hearted. You need a certain toughness which was hard for me to learn. But my Dad used to always say, the way to get Elda to do something is to tell her she can't. (Works like a charm.)
I've been a writer for many years now, and I can't think of a better way to live my life. My goal was always to give a reader a bit of the pleasure that countless authors have given me, and I hope I've done that.
I love to hear from readers. Come visit me at www.eldaminger.com

"Not Abigail!", by Suzanne Forster, was packed with delicious scenes. From the 'spiked' hot chocolate to the absent-minded but rather gorgeous boss, this story was wonderfully charming. Plot: Abigial has been pining for Max for years, but he's painfully oblivious. And when he requests her help in finding a wife by Valentine's day, she takes desperate measures. It's a rather cute plot, actually, I enjoyed it very much.
Lori Foster's work, "Tangled Sheets" is my favorite. It goes from sexy to erotic and the chemistry between Cole and 'Shelly' sizzles. Plot: Sophie and Cole are in love with each other -- but neither of them knows it. So Sophie creates a sexy alter ego / twin sister, Shelly, in the hopes of seducing Cole. But it doesn't quite work that way.
The third story, "Buried in her Heart" wasn't the best. In fact, I didn't really like it at all. The characters were too cliché, and the scenes were a bit flat. The added cheesiness of the 'cute-little-animals' was a bit too much for me. Plot: A lawyer, unsatisfied with her job, takes a break at a bed-and-breakfast on the beach, where she meets Jack. But wait, Abby secretly wants to be a cook, and how convenient that Jack is looking for one. However will he convince her?
"Ecstasy" by Fayrene Preston was sexy and adorable... but I'm still dying to know the secret recipe for the 'orgasmic fudge.' Plot: Hayden wants to buy and market a certain recipe from Brenna -- a certain kind of fudge that sends women into throes of ecstasy. The problem is, she won't sell. Instead, Hayden concentrates on what he wants more. Her.
I'd definitely recommend this. It's wonderful reading. And finding things by Lori Foster is very difficult, but she's such a wonderful writer!
"Warm and soothing, sweet and sensual, these luxurious love stories will melt your cares away, and fulfill your most delectable dreams..." the quote on the back of the book hits the mark.
These stories all share a love of chocolate and chemistry. Although the stories may seem short and rushed at times, we must remember, it is an anthology and many feel that way. Each story is a nice little break from the ordinary.
Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Lori Foster and Suzanne Forster deliver their best as always.
Elda Minger comes up smoldering hot for this one. Her story involves a hot passion between Attorney Abby and a chef Jack who is onto opening a restaurant. Abby decides for herself between the one she loves and her job. All this heated desires in this anthology ends with a pleasant climax in Ms. Preston's story between Brenna and the rich Hayden.
HOT CHOCOLATE is unlike any anthology you have seen because the stories are constantly engaging and sexy. With so much zest and scintillating sensuality, they will keep you warm over a hot cup of chocolate. If you looking for something poignant and heavy, skip this one because this is seductive pleasure at its best.

It's an enjoyable collection to sit and curl up with a nice mug of hot chocolate.
