Nor does he want to talk about the chocolate business, or about getting fired from his job as chocolate taster for worldrenowned Bianchi Chocolates.
Or the scandal in Italy, or his former bossslashgirlfriend, or the tabloid article,
What he needs is a palatecleanse, women and chocolate being on the top of the list.
What Jillian Bass needs is to make it in Legend, This Manhattan transplant knows nothing about small town living other than she wants to make it big here real bad.
Forget New York, she's trying to set up her small chocolate shop and impress the localsespecially the foodie duo of Sydney Kellerman and Suzie Matthews.
Of course, she doesn't tell them that she really owns Jeaneva Chocolates, or that her father is a big publishing mogul, or that she's lied about how she makes her chocolates.
But all is fine until the day she smacks straight into Scott, Who at first, refuses to eat her chocolate, but after one whiff of her exquisite Belgian truffle, forgets his vow and takes a bite.
Then against his better judgment, he takes another,
Very fun read!
Chocolates are my best friend, so I knew that I would like this book when I saw the title.
And I did! It's a little bit different from the first book, but I liked it! The chemistry between Jillian and Scott was off the charts.
They were absolutely perfect for each other, They were meanttobe. I also enjoyed the twists and turns, But what I loved the most was seeing old faces from the previous books and see what they have been up to.
Scott Matthews has come to his brothers home in Legend, Tennessee in hopes of spending time with his family and avoiding both chocolate and women.
The professional chocolate taster lost his job after a scandalous affair goes south and Legend seems to be the perfect place to forget his old life.
However, fate has a twisted sense of humor and sends Scott right into the path of chocolatier Jillian Bass.
Jillian Bass has left her life in New York and her publishing mogul fathers controlling tendencies to open a chocolate shop in Legend.
To be a success, Jillian knows she has to impress the local foodies, namely the Matchmaking Chef herself, Suzie Matthews.
Luckily for Jillian, she has a secret weapon on her side: the rights to her grandmothers worldfamous chocolate recipes.
The only thing that can distract Jillian from her course is the tempting, frustrating Scott Matthews who doesnt want anything to do with Jillians chocolates.
With secrets and scandals putting up stumbling blocks in their relationship, Jillian and Scott are going to need the help of the Matchmaking Chef if they hope to ever have a chance at finding a love thats better than chocolate.
Maddie James knows how to whip up a tasty treat of a story, but her usual magic is lacking in Better Than Chocolate.
Jillian, Scott, and their romance fell flat for me, and even previous heroes and heroines of Ms.
Jamess that play supporting roles in Better Than Chocolate act like caricatures of themselves, I truly wanted to like Better Than Chocolate and I dislike not being able to find something to soften a negative review, but all I can say is that I generally enjoy Ms.
Jamess work. Better Than Chocolate was a rare miss for me by Ms, James and I am still looking forward to the next Matchmaking Chef story,
ed for Joyfully ed, Chocolate amp a hot guy, . . need I say more Jillian Bass wants to do what she loves most, make the best chocolate in the world.
Moving to Legend, Tennessee to open her chocolate shop is a new beginning, When she meets Scott Matthews she immediately is attracted, that is until he opens his mouth, It may not be a match made in heaven, but the chemistry is hot and they can't seem to keep their hands off one another that is until Jillian finds out Scott has not been forthcoming with who he really is.
Fun story, this had a couple of surprises in in it that I did not see coming.
