Well, you can’t get much more seductive than the new ten-minute videos from Carte Noire. It’s Jackanory with sex appeal! The Carte Noire Readers features gorgeous hunks Dominic West (from The Wire), Greg Wise (Cranford) and Dan Stevens (Sense & Sensibility) reading favourite literary love scenes from a mix of classic, modern and emerging novels.
The campaign, described by The Guardian as perhaps the thinking woman’s equivalent of the Diet Coke break hunk, aims to give women a diversion when they want to relax over a cup of coffee.
I can certainly recommend these seductive interludes ;0) Dominic West reading the proposal scene from Pride and Prejudice is wonderful, as are all the others. Good thing there will eventually be 30 to choose from.
So, make yourself a rich, velvety mug of Carte Noire coffee and, when you’re sitting comfortably, then he’ll begin (click on the photo above to follow the link and enjoy *g*) …

Yes, I sampled a cup of Dominic West P&P today and it was truly delicious!
