Sweet Dreams Chocolate Company has been in the Sterling family for generations, ever since Great-Grandma Rose literally dreamed up her first fabulous recipe. But now it looks as if they're about to lose Sweet Dreams to the bank--and that would be a disaster, not only for the family but for the town of Icicle Falls, Washington. Can Samantha, the oldest daughter and new head of the company, come up with a way to save it?

After Samantha does some brainstorming with her mother and sisters, inspiration strikes. They'll have a chocolate festival! Time's running out, but the Sterling women are determined and the town's behind them, so everything's bound to go smoothly....

Or not. Events seem to be conspiring against Samantha, and her mother's attempts to help aren't helping. To make matters worse, the fate of her company is in the hands of her archenemy, Blake Preston, the bank manager with the football-hero good looks. It's enough to drive her to chocolate. But Blake's also enough to convince her that (believe it or not) there's something even better than chocolate.

      Roberts' (The Snow Globe, 2010) sweet, romantic tale features a chocolate company facing bankruptcy after several generations of family ownership. Samantha is trying to save it, but the new bank owner, Blake, refuses to grant them any more time on their loan. She and her sisters develop a chocolate festival for the small town to provide needed tourism and revenue. The most popular event features a Mr. Dreamy contest. Samantha tries to pull off the fast-approaching festival in spite of a closed road, red tape, and harassing creditors. She also tries to deny her attraction to Blake. In an interesting and realistic story line, her mother is trying to rally after the death of her husband, who had poor business sense. This is an engrossing story with strong characters and arcs similar to Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove titles. The light romance, delicious descriptions of chocolate, and recipes add to the flavor of Roberts' promising new series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
