Chloe Brandeau, a magical chocolatier struggles to maintain normalcy in her world that suddenly turned upside down with the inheritance of her aunt's run down apartment building. When a friend insists that having a man in her life could help, Chloe goes on a series of outrageous dates.

Reviews
Benjamin returns with this second entry to her Love by Chocolate series (Chocolate Secrets) with a run of the mill romance. Since accomplished chocolatier Chloe Brandeau inherited her aunt's ancient apartment building and its misfit tenants, she's been hemorrhaging money even though her business is doing well. Swirling in the background is her friends' chatter that she needs to find a man, and she also has a very attractive offer on the apartment building from an attractive developer, Ethan Behar. After Ethan's intermediaries return rebuffed but enchanted by Chloe's chocolates, he goes to see what all the fuss is about. Yes, sparks fly, and Ethan must decide between the deal and the dame, and Chloe must decide if she can trust him. While the chocolate bits are cute, the leads are razor-thin (Ethan is perfect to the point of parody), and there's never even a sliver of doubt about how things will play out. There are muted hints of a story that could be original and fun, but Benjamin fails to find it. (Apr.)

In the sequel to Chocolate Secrets (2008), Benjamin weaves another charming tale of chocolate and love. Chloe Brandeau is a surprisingly successful chocolatier with a profitable business. But when her aunt passes away and leaves the apartment building she owns in Chloe's name, along with a crazy cast of misfit tenants, Chloe's finances and her life take a turn for the worse. Not to mention the fact that her friends won't stop pressuring her to find a man and add some romance to her life. Enter Ethan Behar, a handsome real-estate developer who makes an offer for the apartment building and expresses a conflictful romantic interest in Chloe and her remarkable chocolates. With a cast of lovable characters, clever and sharp dialogue, a brisk pace, and delicious descriptions, Benjamin tells a sweet and romantic story of love, and of learning to trust, that is great fun to read. --Claire Orphan
