Chocolate expert Chantelle Cummings arrives in Marietta, Montana with two goals—sign copies of her new book and research a quaint local chocolate shop. When she meets a gorgeous guy passing out chocolate samples, her visit turns sweeter than she ever imagined. The man melts her heart, but her dream of working in France with her family makes her hesitant to pursue a romance.

Former Air Force captain York Parker has one month before embarking upon a consulting career. He never expected to be selling chocolates, but he’s happy to help his sister and her boss. He also likes spending time with sassy, pretty Chantelle. His new coworker may have the chocolate touch, but he’d rather taste her decadent kisses… until he learns the real reason she’s in town.

Will the truth harden his heart, or will love pave the way to a sweet future?

4 1/2 stars. I just love Marietta and the residents. You'll see why once you read the series. Each book is sweet. Charming. Fun. Sexy. The Chocolate Touch is #8 in the Love at the Chocolate Shop series. This one written by Melissa McClone. Each of the men of Marrieta that I have been introduced to have been Sigh worthy. York Parker was no different. I wanted to be Chantelle Cummings. I liked her cousin Philippe. This series just makes me happy and The Chocolate Touch was no different.

Big brother York is in town for a month to visit with Dakota and Nevada, his sister's. While there he is going to be working at The Chocolate Shop, while one of the other workers is on vacation.

Chantelle writes blogs and reviews on chocolate and is in town for a book signing and to meet Sage and see the shop. Chancellor is also doing a quiet review of the shop, Sage and he chocolates for her uncle in France. He runs a huge family chocolate company that is world wide famous. Sometimes they offer to buy the recipes of small shops or buy the whole shop and recipes. Chantelle' s last name is different from her French family, as her mother was French and father American. No one knows of her "French connection" to chocolate.

York is working with his sister at the book signing as Sage' s shop is doing the refreshments. That is his first meeting with Chantelle. From then on they are thrown together and something grows. Neither are looking for forever, but it sneaks up on them. Then her connection to the French chocolate family comes out and accusations are made, feelings hurt.

A very sweet story, but anyone reading it can see two trains heading towards each other. I enjoyed it and would be happy to recommend it for reading. I love all the books in this series.

OH how I wish Marietta, Montana was for real. I would so beg my hubby to move there. To visit Sage's Chocolate shop would be the bomb. I always want to go but after reading "The Chocolate Touch", I was craving dark chocolate and broke my chocolate fast of 3 months.

Oh Melissa McClone is one fabulous author. Not only does she draw us in with a wonderful romance but she also fills our heads with all kinds of amazing chocolate delights. I could just taste the caramels with salt and the truffels. The hot chocolate that Sage makes but of course since all the recipes are a secret we will never know how to make any of these amazing creations.

I love how we got to catch up on couples from past books that Ms McClone did not write while at the same time she wove us a wonderful story about a past air forceman York who has come home to lend a hand at the Chocolate a Shop (really he is there to learn about his sisters and her boyfriends). Your is an amazing big brother and while he is home something great happens for him. Why not...his sisters did something amazing for him in the past.

You do not have to have read the other 7 books in this series to enjoy this book, but I can highly recommend that you DO read the other books. They are wonderful and show how great this fictional town is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate, Secrets and Love
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017
While this was another sweet and enjoyable trip to Marietta’s chocolate shop, I found it okay rather than amazing. The characters are nice, it’s always great to be back in Marietta, but the plot itself never quite took off like I’d hoped.

We’ve already met York’s sisters – Dakota and Nevada – in earlier books from this series, so it was nice to catch up with big brother and see his caring role in action. He’s protective without being suffocating and genuinely cares for the people in his life. He’s nice.

Chantelle is also nice, building a reputation for herself and gaining experience in the chocolate industry with the hopes of working for her family one day soon. Her need for family and to belong made her sympathetic, but at the same time her complete failure to see that hiding her name was a bad thing didn’t make me like her much. I also expected something more to come from her family. It seemed like such an important part of everything all the way through that by the end I felt a bit disappointed.

So overall I found this okay. It’s a light, easy read that’s enjoyable enough, but didn’t leave much of an impression on me. If you like Marietta and this series in particular, then you’ll probably enjoy this. It’s undemanding if a little underwhelming, but sometimes that’s all a good read needs.

A very intricate storyline and the characters were very intense. The feelings portrayed by the main characters were very believable with their own backgrounds. How you wove their story was very special and complicated with a great ending. Really enjoyed this story.

Yet another great addition to the Love at the Chocolate Shop series.
Chantelle is in town for a book signing, and to do some research on Sage's chocolate shop for her uncle, a well-known chocolatier in France. York is in town to spend time with his sisters after leaving the Air Force and before starting his next career. They end up in close proximity due to York filling in at the chocolate shop for a vacationing employee, and then when Portia ends up in the hospital, Chantelle fills in as well.
I love all of the characters. Everyone was so likable. I really wish Marietta was a real town I could visit. I would be a regular at the chocolate shop for sure.

Like a chocolate truffle, you'll want to savor this sweet story. Starting with the meet cute, the journey of romance is laden with flavor until a little pinch of pain leads to a misunderstanding seen as subterfuge, mix in forgiveness, a dash of family bonds, and a whole lot of love. A must read romance!

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet romance with a touch of mystery!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2017

This is a story where chocolate, secrets and dreams all play significant roles. Take one chocolatier author promoting her latest book, send her to Marietta where there’s an amazing Chocolate shop, add in her family’s firm and her dreams then mix together with a potential love interest and you’ve got yourself a really sweet romance!

Chantelle Cummins is the author who is seriously attracted to the hunk handing out chocolate samples at her book signing. The man in question is York Parker - readers of this series may remember his sisters Dakota and Nevada from previous stories. He’s an ex-Air Force captain who is soon to start a new career but is helping out his sister first. The attraction between Chantelle and York is passionate, hot yet sweet but once the hidden agenda behind her visit is revealed will their love melt away or prove strong enough to ensure a tasty future ahead for them?

This is another great series written by different authors based, this time, on the Chocolate Shop. It is a light, easy read with enough intrigue to keep the reader entertained and engaged. A delightful story to read relaxing on the beach or curled up in front of the fire - whatever is appropriate for the season!

I requested and was gifted a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it.
