Race Langston found himself pressed into the services of Milton Hershey, the Lancaster Caramel Company owner. It seemed that some little chocolate maker in Everleigh was going to cause him problems with her recipe for bonbons. The real problem, however, was not the recipe, but Dulcie -- the delectable young woman Race found bruised and battered ... more »on the way to Everleigh. Dulcie was a blue-eyed, blonde-headed temptation that Race found himself drawn to instantly. Not even her shotgun wielding grandmother could keep him from her. Once he tasted Dulcie's kisses, he was sold. Nothing would shake his resolve to be with Dulcie. Of course, Dulcie was not unresponsive to the dark eyes that melted her very soul. And his soft touch and gentleman's ways were impossible to ignore. Unfortunately, all was not right in the kitchen. Dulcie's name was Kramer, as in Mignon Kramer, that chocolate bonbon maker that he was supposed to be finding for Hershey. Dulcie was her daughter and that recipe was Dulcie's inheritance from her now deceased mother. Not only that, but it was also the only way Dulcie could support herself and her ailing grandmother. Dulcie talked of her plans to open a confectionery in Lancaster to sell her delicious French bonbons. Race began to feel sick at heart. He couldn't tell her of his contract with Hershey, so he kept his torment to himself. He knew that his father owed Milton Hershey a lot of money and that Dulcie's recipe was the repayment Hershey expected. How was he ever to obtain the recipe and keep Dulcie's affections? To make matters worse, Race ended up saving Dulcie from the lecherous attentions of Kirk Schleinbaugh. Worse? Yes, Kirk slithers away, leaving Race trying to help Dulcie cover her bosom with his handkerchief. That's how the Everleigh townsfolk find them. A shotgun wedding is ordered. Race and Dulcie barely know each other, but their passion for each other begins to blossom with it's sweetness. However, Race's secret could destroy them both when it is revealed. The pain of his duplicity tears at their newly flowering relationship. Instead of the chocolate recipe, Race must find the recipe that will save their love and bring Dulcie back into his arms.Ginny Aiken writes a delicious recipe for passion and romance in this story of two young lovers! Dulcie's drive to protect and guard those she loves is moving in itself. Race is lost when she holds his heart! Gentle tones and beautiful dialog bring this love story to full height. The contrasts between Lancaster and Everleigh are every bit as poetic as those between Race and Dulcie! To walk through the wisteria as Race and Dulcie do would be pure heaven!

Okay, in all fairness, it wasn't a horrible book, just not what I expected from Ginny Aiken, who has recently become one of my favorite authors. If you are looking for a general, run-of-the mill romance novel, it's probably one of the better ones I've read. I guess I just like her newer stuff better.
