Sweeter Than Chocolate by Lizzie Shane

This was Hallmark to the core! and exactly what I needed. I had so many other audiobooks to do and I got ten minutes in to each and just was not feeling any of them so I got this one and it was the perfect little romcom to break up my slump.

Super sweet (pun intended!) read heading into Valentine's Day. Lucy owns/manages her family's small-town chocolate shop, which is struggling. The shop has a small reputation for bringing couples together through its "cupid" chocolates. People who eat one of these chocolates on Valentine's Day allegedly have a better chance of finding love. Thanks to a friend, the cupids legend goes viral.

The attention captures the attention of a local news station, which assigns Dean to do a feel-good story on the cupids to try and rehab his hard-nose rep as he vies to get a sought after promotion. Dean does not believe in the legend of the cupids, but there is an immediate connection with Lucy, a connection she feels, too.

Both Lucy and Dean are not looking for, and are probably a little scared of, love. We follow them as they figure out whether to take a chance on the legend and each other.

This book is cute. A romance, but very little physical interaction. Some kissing but nothing more. Very much what I expect from Hallmark. 3.5 stars, rounded to 4.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.

4.7 ⭐️ rounded up

Performance 5/5
Plot 5/5
How Strongly Would I Recommend? 4/5
Did it meet my expectations? 4/5
Pace 5/5
Overall 5/5

I don’t necessarily need a sex scene to enjoy a romance novel but this would definitely be classified as a “clean” romance
