About the Book Love and Chocolate

She just needs a job. He wants a career. Is there room in their hearts for love?

Ilsa Krause and her siblings are stunned to discover their father left massive debt behind upon his death. To help pay off their creditors and save the farm, she takes a job at Beck’s Chocolates, the company her father despised and refused to supply with milk. Then she discovers her boss is Ernst Webber, her high school love who unceremoniously dumped her via letter from college. Could life get any more difficult?

A freshly-minted university diploma in his hand, Ernst Webber lands his dream job at Beck’s Chocolates. His plans to work his way up the ladder don’t include romantic entanglements, and then Ilsa Krause walks back into his life resurrecting feelings he thought long dead. However, her animosity makes it clear she has no interest in giving him a second chance. Can he get her to change her mind? Does he want to?

My Thoughts on Love and Chocolate

What a fun read.  I love chocolate for sure.  I’m also a fan of milk cows.  We happen to have several on our farm and I know what goes into milking them and dealing with the milk.  One thing I don’t do on a regular basis is make chocolate.  We do a lot of ice cream though!

Ilsa is a wonderful person.  She’s not all sweet-smelling roses though.  She’s got some thorns that like to poke to the surface.  As Ilsa works on taming her thorns can she find love as well?

Ilsa is the oldest of a family of four children.  They lost their mother quite some time ago and recently their father.  On his death, they learned that he left them more debt than anything else.  When they have to decide how they can get out of debt and keep the farm some tough decisions are made.  Ilsa goes to work at the chocolate factory.

Our main male character is Ernst.  He and Ilsa were once a couple.  But after he went off to college his views of home and the girl at home changed.  But now he’s back and in charge of a section of the chocolate factory.  When Ilsa comes to work there they are thrown together. Could there possibly be something in the future for them?

This book read so well.  I loved the characters.  I can’t wait to see more books about this family.  I’d love to follow all of the siblings!  You’re going to come to the same conclusion I’m sure after you read this one. Each character had things they had to work through and some rough edges that needed smoothed out.
