BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Sweet Dreams Chocolate Company has been in the Sterling family for generations, ever since Great-Grandma Rose literally dreamed up her first fabulous recipe. But now it looks as if they’re about to lose Sweet Dreams to the bank—and that would be a disaster, not only for the family but for the town of Icicle Falls, Washington. Can Samantha, the oldest daughter and new head of the company, come up with a way to save it?After Samantha does some brainstorming with her mother and sisters, inspiration strikes. They’ll have a chocolate festival! Time’s running out, but the Sterling women are determined and the town’s behind them, so everything’s bound to go smoothly
.
Or not. Events seem to be conspiring against Samantha, and her mother’s attempts to help aren’t helping. To make matters worse, the fate of her company is in the hands of her archenemy, Blake Preston, the bank manager with the football-hero good looks. It’s enough to drive her to chocolate. But Blake’s also enough to convince her that (believe it or not) there’s something even better than chocolate.
REVIEW:
I just could not get into this book. None of the characters seemed to have any chemistry including the love interests. Honestly the end might have been a little better than the beginning but by the time I got to the middle of the book I really just did not care anymore.
The book starts off at a funeral and continued to be a downer for a lot of the story. The story was just too long with way too many moments of self-pity. Nothing seems to ever go right for any of the Sterling family and it gets tiresome.
I have never read a Sheila Roberts book before so I am not sure if this is typical of her writing but it just did not appeal to me.
