My review:

Are Lucy’s delectable cupid chocolates a myth or really magical? Dean is a skeptical newscaster doing a story on what he thinks is a scam.

Lucy & Dean were adorable. Neither were necessarily looking for love, but as they spend more and more time together their attraction inevitably grows. Absolutely no steamage for this sweet story.

Grandma was really a delightful character, as was everyone really. I wouldn’t mind trying out some of the chocolate options they offered either. Overall, a light and easy read/listen with a pretty cute epilogue.
I don’t watch Hallmark movies, but I’ll totally be down with watching this one.

PS ~ how many reviews do you think include the word sweet? My guess is all of them 🤣

Narrated by Brittany Pressley and Andrew Eiden for 7 hours and 58 minutes. They did a fine job.

Book blurb:

Soon to be a Hallmark Channel original movie!!!

Do the “Cupid chocolates” from Lucy’s shop
really help people meet their One True Love?
Dean, a TV reporter, has his doubts…

Lucy’s chocolate shop, How Sweet It Is, has been in her family for generations…along with the secret recipe for Cupid chocolates. Rumor has it that if you eat one on February 14, you’ll meet your soulmate. Lucy herself isn’t sure if it’s magic or just romantic optimism, but a family legend is at stake. Besides, with her grandmother to support and a rival bakery opening up across the street, it certainly doesn’t hurt to believe.

Dean, an ambitious and skeptical TV reporter, doesn’t like the idea of a business taking advantage of romantic desperation. He doesn’t count on Lucy joining him as he tracks down and interviews couples supposedly brought together by the chocolates. Together, they find that the truth can be complicated…especially when it comes to their own hearts.
