delicious

Capella's 4th novel shares the expected aspects of his other books: sensuous food and delicious sex. But each of his 4 books is so different in plot and tone - and "The Empress of Ice Cream," like his others, is a total delight. Royal mistress Louise de Keroualle and her Italian admirer Carlo Demirco - who is obsessed with the creation and perfection of a new-fangled confection, ice cream - create splashes both political and personal at the Restoration court of Charles II. The end of this wonderful novel is unexpected, tender and perfect.

A charm

I love this author.He writes with humor and great sensuality.His descriptions are so powerful that one is able to smell the coffee he describes, or in this case taste the ice-cream .The Empress of Ice Cream is an historical novel ,giving the reader an insight into the various courts of Europe.It is also a sensual romance.Having read all his other books ,I bought this on kindle and saved it for a special read,which it is.

Fun Historical Fiction

I am really enjoying this book. Who knew ice cream was such an important part of politics? This story of Charles in England and Louis in France is a great insight into the time after Cromwell. You don't even have to like history to enjoy the intrigues of courtiers and the development of ice cream. A fun and informative read.

Disappointing

I wasn't very impressed with this storyline. Wouldn't recommend. Story didn't grab me but I read it to the end because someone else recommended it to me and I was hoping it would get better. It didn't.

Empress of ice cream

I like the book...and the story ..second Capella novel I've read...not as good as the wedding Officer..but delightful to read.
