Kat Roth and Mark Denham have plenty in common -- they're CEOs of rival Seattle-area candy companies, they're both in feverish pursuit of number one status in the nation and they were both once married . . . to each other. Their brief venture into matrimony, an explosive mix of hot passion and all-out war, has made Kat and Mark wary of love and leery of the sparks between them. Push comes to shove when they finally give in to the heat between them. After several days of back-to-back lovemaking bouts, Kat convinces herself she's found the perfect solution to the seemingly bottomless pit of lust she feels for her ex - a passionate sex-only affair, avoiding all the messy complications of love. Then the night of the chocolate tasting, Kat experiences the ultimate betrayal . . . the two of them are locked up in her office by close friends who refuse to let them out until they resolve their differences. In a firefight of love and passion, Kat finally confesses her fears of failing at love. Mark admits his own fear that he doesn't know what real love is. They both realize that their verbal fireworks really drives them closer together. They agree to remarry, joining together physically and fiscally, in chocolate and in love.

From Booklist

Katrina Roth and Mark Denham grew up together, each an heir to chocolate candy scions in the Seattle area. Naturally they would get married. Unfortunately, they soon divorced, and we join the story as Kat, now CEO of the Roth business, is faced with seeing her ex on a semiregular basis. Unbeknownst to either of them, both families are working on getting them back together. Kat and Mark still love each other, but Kat especially can't make the distinction between business and personal matters. The Denham company business is going gangbusters while Roth is slowly going under. To get past their stubbornness, family and friends go so far as to strand the couple in a cabin in the woods for a weekend. Then, just as Kat and Mark decide the heck with it, let's get together, well-meaning family members inadvertently push the two apart again, this time maybe for good. Kat and Mark's story is lighthearted and funny, topped with enough chocolate references to cause cravings and an emergency run to the nearest candy counter. Shelley Mosley
