About this ebook

 Who is the handsome cowboy who comes into small town Marietta’s chocolate shop every week to buy a box of chocolates? More importantly…who is he buying the chocolates for? These are the questions sales clerk Rosie Linn asks herself as she waits for her sadly neglected childhood home to sell so she can pursue an exciting new career in L.A.

Rosie finds out the answers the day rugged ranch hand Brant Willingham introduces himself and asks for her help in managing the care of his younger sister. Brant’s mother has recently died, leaving him the sole guardian of eighteen-year-old Sara Maria–who has been a puzzle to Brant ever since she began exhibiting signs of autism at age two.

Rosie and Brant come up with a plan. She’ll help with his sister if he handles repairs and a new paint job for her old house. It seems the perfect solution, but a new dilemma is created when the couple start spending time together. Brant discovers he doesn’t want Rosie to sell and leave, and Rosie fears she will have to choose between love and her dreams.

Ratings and reviews

Heartwarmingly inspiring story of a compassionate, kind-hearted, independent, content, discreet, and incredibly creative yet simple and elegant woman who falls in love at first sight with a sweet, unselfish, caring man, and fate helps her fulfil it!

Brant Willingham comes into Copper Mountain Chocolates every Friday to pick up a box of chocolates. Every week the sales clerk Rosie Linn tries to tempt him into buying a different flavor convinced he is buying them for a woman. When Brant asks Rosie to become a companion for his autistic sister there attraction isn't part of the plan. As payment to Rosie Brant offers to help Rosie fix up her house so she can sell it and move to LA to advance her career as a screenwriter. That's where the trouble begins. I really enjoyed this book. All of the main characters were interesting and fun to get to know. it was a great start to a new series.

I really liked this story. Although all the talk of chocolates really made me hungry. Rosie and Brant were great characters and I loved how they worked together. She had a crush on Brant before she even knew his name, as he was a regular customer at the chocolate shop where she worked. Brant's sister, his concern for his sister at least, finally brought them together outside of the chocolate shop. They were both at turning points in their lives with big decisions to make. I liked how things played out for all of them. I really wish Sage's chocolate shop was a real place, I would definitely be a regular customer.
