Book Review: Chocolate Cowboy (Ten Sleep Dreaming #1) by Kirsten Lynn

 

Blurb: 

GySgt Jared Worrell wanted one thing—to live and die a Marine. He’s made a good start at the first and come close to the second more times than a man should. One call from his mother changes all his plans, and he’s headed back to Ten Sleep, Wyoming. The Reserves feed his need to be a Marine, but what does a man do the rest of the year in a town so small it doesn’t even have one stoplight? His mom has the perfect solution; Jared should use another talent and become the town chocolatier. He’s just recovering from that bomb when she drops another…

Lucy Thomas fell in love with Ten Sleep when her parents fulfilled their dreams of owning their own ranch. Now Lucy is living her dream of photographing Wyoming from its landscape to its people, but she’s never really felt a part of the small town where everyone has known everyone else forever. Turning the doorknob to her friend’s house brings her face to face with a man whose arms she’d love to call home. He’s a Marine, cowboy, and chocolatier...how can a woman resist?

Coming home never tasted so sweet.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

A Marine/cowboy who became a chocolatier, what could be yummier? Jared came home to be with his mother who talked him into opening his own chocolate shoppe. Everyone loved his chocolate. He was restless with the change in his life, but his mother needed him. Lucy's family had bought Jared's family's ranch, and Lucy brought her photography skills to Ten Sleep. The instant heat between Lucy and Jared had them spending a lot of time together and then maneuvering around their work obligations and traveling. As Jared's mother's prognosis worsened, my heart hurt for all, tears in my eyes. The story slowed down in a few spots, but overall, this was a good story.

This is my unsolicited review.
