Sweeter Than Chocolate

How Sweet it is!

Lucy’s chocolate shop, How Sweet It Is, has been in her family for generations. So have the “Cupid Chocolates” Rumor has it if you eat one on Valentine’s Day, you will find love. They chocolate shop even has a wall of pictures showing those who have found a soulmate. Lucy isn’t quite sure if it is magic or optimism which makes people fall in love, but she will keep making the chocolates. She is worried about competition on the street and prices increase.

Dean is a television report who does not believe in love. He has his reasons for being skeptical. When he is assigned to do a story on Lucy’s chocolate shop, he sticks his foot in it, when he tells Lucy he believes the chocolates are a scam, not knowing who was talking with. Although a skeptic, he does stories on those who have found love with Lucy by his side.

Will they find the magic? Do the Cupid Chocolates really work?

Both Dean and Lucy are likeable characters. It’s all about the journey and this was a sweet one. I enjoyed the stories of the couples on the wall as much as I enjoyed Lucy, her grandmother, Dean and his sister. The characters had me rooting for them when I wasn’t shaking my head at some of them.

If you are looking for a sweet light romance (no steamy scenes here), this book will hit the spot. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration as much as I did the story.

This was a sweet book which will soon be a Hallmark movie.
