Blame it on Chocolate - Why Not?

Jennifer Greene's book Blame it on Chocolate is a fast fun read. Lucy Fitzhenry works as a biologist/chocolatier for a chocolate bar company. She is working on producing a batch of cacao trees that will produce beans that will beat the best. The fact that she is grafting trees in a greenhouse facility in Minnesota, means that if this works - it will be really huge in the chocolate industry. One night - giddy with a first successful batch tasting, she has a wild night with a guy. He happens to be her boss - Nick. And well - interesting things happen to her and Nick. And then her family seems to becoming unglued too.

If you like learning a bit about chocolate, cacao trees, and like the heroine to have a supportive family and work life, this is a book for you. Warning - it will make you get up out of bed for a midnight fancy chocolate bar snack. Hershey's will just not do!
