Book Review: A Chocolate Box Christmas Wish

Title: A Chocolate Box Christmas Wish

Author:  Josie Riviera

Date: 2020

Publisher: Josie Riviera

Quote: "Now she was sorry for the argument because she'd raised her voice to her own father. He was right."

He was right about her e-boyfriend being a scam. Now Cora's wary of other men, so much so that when an attractive one notices her and starts pursuing her, she flees. This couple will never know peace unless, and until, she takes him to meet her father at Christmas.

It's a sweet romance, so you know what will happen. As a bonus there's a recipe for cookies that sound like elaborate, rolled, chilled, jam-filled labors of love but are actually absurdly easy to make.

Yes, there's a family bakery in this story. Yes, there are warnings about the perils of emotional eating as well as lots of suggestions for sweet and savory holiday menus. This is a short, fun read.
