About this audiobook

In Benevolence, Washington, the Lamont family's delectable handmade chocolates are a precious tradition-and always a reason to return home. And for the most rebellious of the three Lamont sisters, they provide a chance to create a tempting new future, complete with delicious happiness . . .

Neighbors always ready to help, a laid-back pace-former model Brenna Lamont needs everything that once made her leave her hometown. To help her pregnant sister Addie, Brenna is back to run the family store, Chocolate Haven, and figure out how to start over. But she just can't make the one-of-a-kind Lamont fudge . . . or make herself really fit in. And with handsome restaurateur River Maynard causing her troubles to boil over big time, can Brenna risk going after what she really wants?

River already has his hands full helping his ailing foster mother save her ranch for troubled children. He's got no time for anything but reality and hard choices. But somehow, a daily dose of Lamont chocolates is helping his mom feel better. And Brenna's kindness and warmth is making him hungry for an unexpected new dream only she and Benevolence's magical sweetness can make come true . . .

    Sweet Surprises by Shirlee McCoy is the 2nd book in her Home Sweet Home series. I enjoy the setting of this series, small town Benevolence, home to the family store, Chocolate Haven. The Lamont family patriarch, the three Lamont girls Grandfather, has been unable to run the store due to health issues. The first book in this series is about Adeline, who is now happily married and pregnant, so it is now Brenna's turn to return home to Benevolence, and help her grandfather run Chocolate Haven. What no one knows is that Brenna is in dire straits, with her fiancée running off with another woman, and taking every penny of her money. Forced to close her successful business and leave her lifestyle behind, Brenna heads home determined not to let her family know the truth.

    River Maynard, the male MC, has returned home to Benevolence to help his foster mother recover from a stroke and help keep her ranch running. River, who has a successful restaurant business in another state, wants to convince Belinda to sell the ranch and come live with him. River is not happy with all the other "guests" living at the ranch when he arrives. Belinda wants to help the homeless teens, but River wants them gone. Belinda's desire for chocolate brings these two together. Will they work through their mistrust of others and develop a friendship or even love? Can these two who ran from Benevolence at one time, be able to remain and plant roots?

    Along with this second chance romance, there is a mystery involving vandals targeting Brenna and Chocolate Haven. Sweet Surprises was a sweet (no pun intended) story, with a very likable couple. There were some very interesting characters, especially those living at Belinda's ranch. Some reviewers found the ending a bit abrupt and it was obvious that it left things open for the third book in this trilogy. If you enjoy small town romances, family atmosphere, sweet likeable couple, a few quirky characters, as well a nice story line then I recommend that you pick up Sweet Surprises, or the first in this series, Sweet Haven and read about the Lamont Family in Benevolence, Washington.
