When Marietta newcomer Elena Puente is coerced into attending a speed-dating event at the popular Copper Mountain Chocolate shop, she’s blindsided by a serious attraction to local cowboy, Wesley Banks. Still recovering from a broken engagement, the first-grade teacher from Las Vegas isn’t looking for romance. She’s in Montana to get to know the great-grandfather she never knew existed until she found some hidden family letters. Judge Kingsley is a grouchy recluse and he’s far from welcoming, but Elena is determined to stay in town long enough to give his neglected estate on Bramble Lane a facelift. Elena’s resolve to avoid romance is tested when she discovers Wesley is the caretaker of her grandfather’s rural property. Soon, she and the cowboy are attending more speed-dating events at the chocolate shop and she’s seeking his advice on how to deal with his ornery boss. Local gossips wager the old Judge will run Elena out of town before anything serious develops between her and Wesley. But Wesley’s a determined man, too, and he’s betting Elena belongs in Marietta forever…with him.

Summer read

A quick and fun summer read. Perfect for sitting by the pool or in the garden. Not to many characters to keep track of.

Good romance

A really good read with a good time to relax and enjoy your trip to the same wish for the next one

Nice

Who doesn't love feisty characters who do the tough stuff with love? Add to that, delectable chocolate treats, a grumpy octogenarian with a good heart, a caring cowboy determined to make a difference, some unrequited connections in a small town where there are no secrets- and you have a good read. The book was really enjoyable from start to finish. Love the ending. A new author to enjoy?

When she realised her dad’s grandad was alive she went to find him. She also found a special man for her along the way. This was a joy to read. It left me smiling 😊

A delicious read

This is a great book with wonderful lines, humor, heartache and healing. This interesting story has equally interesting characters. I found it hard to put it down. I'm now in need of some decadent dark chocolate!
