The
Chocolate Promise
Josephine
Moon
Allen & Unwin - $36.99
From the bestselling author of The Tea
Chest comes an enticing and beautiful story featuring a real-life fairy
godmother who must learn to find her own magic.
Christmas Livingstone has formulated ten top rules for happiness by which she tries very hard to live. Nurturing the senses every day, doing what you love and sharing joy with others are some of the rules, but the most important rule is number one — absolutely no romantic relationships!
Christmas’ life is peaceful and comforting.
Creating her enchantingly seductive shop, The Chocolate Apothecary, and
exploring the uses of chocolate makes her happy, her friends surround her, and
her secret life brings and shares the joy. She doesn’t need a handsome botanist
ace who knows everything about cacao to walk into her life. One who has the
nicest if the most interfering grandmother (who is also Book Club Captain at
Green Hills Aged Care Facility), a gorgeous rescue dog, and who needs her help
to write a book. She really doesn’t need any of that at all. Or does she?
The Chocolate Promise is a glorious novel
featuring a strong, creative woman who is about to find out how far a list of
rules will take her in life. Including an enticing tangle of freshly picked
herbs, pots of flowers and delicious chocolate scenting the background,
Josephine Moon’s follow-up to The Tea Chest is simply
irresistible.
