Getting back into chocolate making, her passion which also happens to be something her mum used to do so Libby feels she needs to keep this a secret from her dad. Enter Ethan's perfect kitchen!

We learn about the past events between Libby and Ethan - can they work through it? Can Libby open up to her dad?

I adored this book - the small town setting is always great. Throw in chocolate making, some heartbreak and a steam train to get up and running and you have a lovely read. There's some disasters along the way - fires, health issues, past trauma but many sweet moments, some laugh out loud bits and a happy ending. I loved reading Libby and Ethan's story and although this is part of a series, it was also a great standalone.

Looking forward to heading back to read the others in this series.

Fantastic to be back in Cranfield meeting old and new characters. There were sad and happy moments . Strokes are cruel. You need to have some chocolate close by. Libby the main character was a great . She was a good daughter. I loved the steam train. The Halloween bit did make you laugh and the fake snow. . You also had a great love element. Read it.
