This book is a collection of 3 short stories concerning conflicted minds and emotions, romance, and of course chocolate. I'm a natural born chocoholic, so the title alone was enough to entice me. Occasionally a girl needs a little silly romance to help break of up the monotony of daily living. The book is a real quick read and will leave the reader left with the warm-fuzzies that only a story of romance and chocolate can.
The first story in the book is by Janet Dailey. I really like the author's voice and character portrayal. I enjoyed the story enough that I'd read another book by Dailey. Plus, who doesn't love a story about love gone wrong but never truly given up on?
The second story in the book is by Sandra Steffen and is a very sweet story about people who have lost their way. At first you think one more so than the other because how much more lost can you be than literally losing yourself by way of amnesia? However, by the end you realize that first glances can be deceiving and bare a closer look.
The third story in the book is by Kylie Adams. It had more of a goofy vibe to it, which was a nice twist to the feel of the book. The story also felt like it was trying to reach for the feel of an international affair and love-extrodinare. I liked the story just fine, but it wasn't my favorite of the three.
Overall, I thought it was a nice book that I'd use to break up my genre theme and help me transition into a new genre... sort of like a buffer book, if you will.
Happy reading!
