Lucy Fitzhenry developed a new type of chocolate that tastes better than any other chocolate in the world. After sampling some of the first batch with the president of the company, Nick Bernard, they celebrate a bit too hard leaving Lucy with a big problem – she’s pregnant. Nick’s brother made a similar mistake years ago and their grandfather forced him out of the family business. Even though Lucy has had a crush on Nick for years, she assumes full responsibility for the baby to prevent Nick’s grandfather from firing him, while trying to keep Nick as arms length when he tries to be part of Lucy’s life.
I was truly amazed at the level of research that went into this book. Jennifer painted an incredible backdrop for this story along with colorful characters with strong traits and lots of potential conflict. But the story fails to capitalize on these assets, leaving the book reading like it was an oversize Desire. If you love reading Desire you’ll love this book, but I think a single title novel deserves a more complex story.

Bottom line: A pretty good book
