Dominic WestFancy adding a little Carte Noir indulgence to your coffee break?

Dominic West - star of The Wire and self-proclaimed book lover - has partnered with Carte Noire to read from some of literature's most powerful scenes of seduction - for you to enjoy along with a rich and velvety cup of coffee.

Dominic, along with fellow actors Greg Wise and Dan Stevens, will be reading specially selected love scenes from a range of modern and classic Penguin novels from Lady Chatterley's Lover to High Fidelity and Pride and Prejudice.

- Watch Dominic West read to you from Lady Chatterley's Lover
- Watch Greg Wise read to you from Tess of the D'Urbervilles
- Watch Dan Stevens read to you from Great Expectations

Dominic, a great book lover, says: "For me, coffee and books have always been natural companions. Carte Noire Readers is a charming idea for when you have a moment to grab a coffee break. It's a great way to enjoy books."

Adding: "I've enjoyed the selection of literature. I wasn't a big fan of Austen before recording these extracts - although my mother and sisters loved her work - but reading them out loud has brought them to life for me and I've been converted. It's truly powerful and passionate stuff."

Thanks to Carte Noire, coffee breaks may never be the same again!
