3.0 out of 5 stars Sweets for the sweet, March 12, 2005

Sisters Sabrina and Mackenzie Bliss make a unique pact when their parents reconcile and re-marry. Though each has their own unique emotional scar from the wounds of their parents divorce, the two figure that if their parents can start over anew, then so can they. Mackenzie wagers their mother's first wedding ring - she will quit her job and start the candy store that she always wanted to run and, at her wild sister's urging, dump her boring boyfried. Sabrina, who never stays in one place, or with one man, for any length of time, has to settle down and not sleep with a man unless she truly loves him. Sabrina thinks a celibate year is asking a bit much, but Mackenzie urges her to satisfy her lusts with chocolate. Feeling the desire for something more down to Earth than the life she has been living, Sabrina agrees and settles down in New York City, getting a job at Decadence, an upscale restaurant. What Sabrina did not forsee was Decadence's hunk of a dessert chef, Kristoffer Rex. The chef has an eye on Sabrina, who plans on eating a lot of chocolate to control her own cravings for Rex. I hope she has a supply in insulin handy as well! This was a nice change of pace from the paranormals, futurists and romantic suspense novels I have been reading recently. I am sure fans of this line of books will enjoy it. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars fun contemporary romance, June 15, 2003

This review is from: The Chocolate Seduction (Sex & Candy) (Mass Market Paperback)

When their divorced parents remarry one another, sisters MacKenzie and Sabrina Bliss react differently. Mackenzie feels this will last forever while the cynical Bliss expects a second divorce within six months. The siblings agree to "change" lives. Mackenzie must drop "Mr. Dull" to seek exciting romance and quit her secure job to begin her dream of her own candy business. Sabrina must settle in one city with one job with no sex for one year except if she falls in love.

Mackenzie feels good about opening up her own candy store and figures she will win the wager as sweetening up her love life should be as easy to do as making some of her sugary concoctions. However, at night she knows whom she wants: bad boy Devlin Brandt has always been her fantasy. When the former cop turns to her for help, Mackenzie thinks fate has interceded, but though he always wanted her, Devlin feels too jaded to taste the SINFULLY SWEET offering of love.

After gaining a few unwanted pounds while reading the delightful THE CHOCOLATE SEDUCTION, this reviewer decided to go all the way with the sequel (I'll lose weight with my husband next week). The story line once again is a fun contemporary romance starring two warm lead protagonists as the syrupy yet luscious Mackenzie's SINFULLY SWEET seduction of Devlin is amusing yet sexy. Carrie Alexander completes her humorous duo with a winning sweetener, but now readers it is diet time in the city once I finish this cream filled chocolate bell.

As Harriet did such a fine job syponsizing this story, I'll just add that this is yet another fine example of Carrie Alexander's talent, and I can't wait to read MacKenzie's story!

Keep on writin', Carrie! : )
