Would have been higher but
I really enjoyed her style. Especially the chocolate information. However I cannot abide books that blaspheme and are not sexually clean. If the books were free of this I would love to read her stories. As they stand, I cannot.

It was cute and sweet but shallow at times with character depth. No angst ,no smexy times.
First time reading this author so not sure if this is her style or it was just this book. If this is her style then wont be picking up anything else because while I love the ideas, the execution is just not working for me.

A good historical romance set between a working girl (and creator of fine chocolate) and a Duke. What more could a girl want? Perhaps besting a classic upper-class mean girl - because it has that too. It's an enjoyable story with fun plot points and a few detours to get the finale.
I'm choosing not to do a line by line fact check, but the author appears enthusiastic about the history of confectionery including references to some of the oldest brands and their earliest products which would have been around in the era. I quite enjoyed hearing those historical tidbits - though sometimes it manages to feel like product placement for Cadbury's.
It was an enjoyable book with a few stolen kisses and a lot of poignant glances. Not for you if you are looking for more steam, but its a well rounded love story just the same.

This was a nice enough story, although a bit boring. Every time I expected Amity to show spirit and fire, she turned tail and ran, both figuratively and literally. I liked the premise of the story, and I liked the Rare-Foure family.
