Rory Garrett is a hot mess. Her business partner in her candy business ran off with their product and left her with a run-down food truck and a $2000 fee to the city. Brett Rivers is her half brother sports agent. Driven, ruthless, and successful, he has a one night stand with Rory at her brother’s birthday party but doesn’t know she’s his sister. Trying to do damage control he tracks her down, at her brothers home where they find her brother’s murdered ex-girlfriend. Now working together to find him before the police the chocolatier and the sports agent but heads and fight an extreme attraction to each other while trying to solve a murder.

It’s been a little while since I’ve read one of Susan Elizabeth Phillips Dallas Stars novels and this put me right back in the mood to read them all. She is so good at creating moments and this novel had so many different kinds that drew me in and made me want to keep reading this quirky, fun, love story. This was truly a case of opposites attract. Brett seems to be so put together, and Rory is definitely a catastrophe and together they seem to unravel each others good intentions and bad ones too. The one thing they do have in common is that they want to find her missing brother and figure out what happened.

Murder, mayhem, chocolate, and romance. That’s what you know you’re getting from the synopsis of this book. What caught me by surprise was the humanity, depth of character and feelings that enriched the story. I had fun returning to this series and remembering how much a good book can create that escape from reality you might need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review and it was honest.
