Ellie Sanchez wants revenge. Spurned during her school days at prestigious Monty’s academy when she was plain Eleanor Finch, and played second fiddle to her idol, Barnaby Westwood, and his show-off sister, Clementine, Ellie will stop at nothing to turn the tables now she’s all grown up. The siblings and their snubbing have been the catalyst for everything that’s gone wrong in her life, from parental neglect to her divorce.
When the Westwood travel merchandise company advertises for a new HR manager, Ellie decides her unique combo of karma and Law of Attraction has finally come good. And she’ll be bagging herself a cherry-on-the-cake, second, and richer, husband in the process - once Barnaby sees how much she’s changed, anyway.
Fast forward six months and he STILL doesn’t recognise her!
Fast forward six months and the company is in a financial mess.
Last Chance Saloon-style, Ellie coerces the siblings and their older sister, Brooke (the perpetual spanner in her works) to a rustic gîte in Normandy for a spot of team-building… over a very ‘special’ box of artisan chocolates.
Cue ALL the fireworks in the cocoa bean version of Jumanji...
"Scrumptious, enchanting and beautifully written." - Lizzie Chantree, bestselling author
4.5 stars
Who doesn’t love chocolate? I know i do and the flavours and all the descriptions in this book are just making me wanting to try out everything and go on a splurge buying of chocolate.
It's my first book by the author and i didn't knew what to expect but i'm quite impressed by the story overall.
It's so much more than a woman fiction or chick lit story, it has so much more deep and feels more reliable in some ways.
The family connection and their interaction, the friendship and everything that comes along with the ups and downs and expectations as well as the childish revenge, everything adds up for a great few hours of a compelling read.
If you're looking for a great story with characters that stay with you for a while, this is a book for you.
