About this ebook

 Chocolate expert Chantelle Cummings arrives in Marietta, Montana with two goals—sign copies of her new book and research a quaint local chocolate shop. When she meets a gorgeous guy passing out chocolate samples, her visit turns sweeter than she ever imagined. The man melts her heart, but her dream of working in France with her family makes her hesitant to pursue a romance.
Former Air Force captain York Parker has one month before embarking upon a consulting career. He never expected to be selling chocolates, but he’s happy to help his sister and her boss. He also likes spending time with sassy, pretty Chantelle. His new coworker may have the chocolate touch, but he’d rather taste her decadent kisses… until he learns the real reason she’s in town.

Will the truth harden his heart, or will love pave the way to a sweet future?

Ratings and reviews

Yet another great addition to the Love at the Chocolate Shop series. Chantelle is in town for a book signing, and to do some research on Sage's chocolate shop for her uncle, a well-known chocolatier in France. York is in town to spend time with his sisters after leaving the Air Force and before starting his next career. They end up in close proximity due to York filling in at the chocolate shop for a vacationing employee, and then when Portia ends up in the hospital, Chantelle fills in as well. I love all of the characters. Everyone was so likable. I really wish Marietta was a real town I could visit. I would be a regular at the chocolate shop for sure.

The Chocolate Touch by Melissa McClone, book eight in the Love at the Chocolate Shop series is another winner. This is Ms. McClone’s third book in the series and features York Parker the older brother of Dakota and Nevada, the heroines of her two previous books. York is spending time in Marietta visiting his sisters after leaving the Air Force and before he begins a job that will have him travelling the world. Dakota puts York to work covering for Rosie at Sage’s chocolate shop. Blogger Chantelle Cummings is in Marietta to promote her book and research Copper Mountain Chocolates. Once she is done she will move to France to work for the family’s chocolate company. Neither one is looking for a long term relationship but like the taste of chocolate, one never knows what life will bring your way. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. I often get drawn into the books written by Ms. McClone as she is a wonderful story teller. I highly recommend this book to other readers and I for one look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book

Chantelle Cummings is focused on making her family proud enough to welcome her into the family business. While researching Copper Mountain Chocolates she finds the one thing she wasn't looking for. York Parker is in town visiting his sisters for a month before he starts a new job that will have him travelling around. He has no interest in things that will tie him down. Soon the two find themselves working behind the counter of the local chocolate shop with attraction for one another flying. Can the two figure out how to make both of there dreams come true to build a future or will a secret get in there way? I loved this book! Chantelle's dream of working in the family business really drew me in. This whole series has left me excited for the next one and is a must read!
