As Addie takes over the duties of her grandfather's chocolate shop in her hometown of Benevolence, she struggles to get the chocolate recipe just right.  She meets Sinclair Jefferson who is her tenant and with whom there is a genuine interest.

Addie finds she needs help as the chocolate shop and its internet sales keep her a bit too busy and she finds a most interesting helper, a newcomer to Benevolence.  She isn't too sure about him but takes a chance only to find some interesting twists and turns in her life.

I enjoyed the book.  There was some minor swearing in the book, yet clean in the romance department.  I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

The Orchard at the Edge of Town by Shirlee McCoy

I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing Shirlee McCoy's new book.  I enjoyed the book very much and hope to be able to read more of her books in the future.

This book has some romance, a little mystery, and two people with broken hearts, each hoping to make things better in their lives.

Apricot Sunshine Devereux-Miller is the product//daughter of  flower children/hippie generation parents.  She finds herself in her aunt's home in Apple Valley in an effort to get things in her life back in order and in so doing, meets a basket of kittens that bring some interesting happenings into her life.

Simon is raising two daughters alone.  But he has no desire to find a mom for them at this time.  But as they cross paths, so do their hearts.  It's a sweet read and nice easy going romance, with some mysterious events to make for a very interesting read.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review, which I have given.  No monetary compensation was received.

The Cottage on the Corner by Shirlee McCoy

I liked the story plot of this.  A woman leaves a daughter in the care of her ex-boyfriend, Max, and tells him she is his daughter which he never knew a thing about.  He gets care-taking help from Charlotte who forms an attachment to the little girl named Zuzu.

Charlotte is the town baker or trying to become such as she sells her wares and hopes to be able to open her own shop in town.  Max is trying to find out if Zuzu is really his child or not.  Morgan, the child's mother heads to Vegas for work and seems to pay little attention to the needs of her child.  As they all work out their situations, will Max and Charlotte find each other and try to care for Zuzu as well? 

There is also a little mystery in this romance to keep the pace going and to add some nice suspense to the plot. 

Disclaimer:  language.  There is some language in this book that is used that might be a consideration for readers.

I liked the plot, but am not a big fan of  language in a book and prefer books which would not use this.
