Search - Blame It On Chocolate

Any book with the word chocolate in the title is bound to grab my attention. Thankfully, Ms. Greene's BLAME IT ON CHOCOLATE lived up to my sweet-tooth cravings! This is a story that's actually nice-in the true definition of nice-in that there are no bad guys, no cheating, no broken hearts, and a happy ending. The characters are truly believable, the dialogue is funny, and the situations this couple find themselves in are ones anyone can relate to.

Lucy Fitzhenry loves her job at Bernard Chocolates. She gets to spend her days working in the greenhouse, developing new species of plants for the company's newest brands of chocolate. She knows she's found a real winner with Bliss, and eagerly awaits the reaction of the bosses-owner Orson Bernard and his grandson, Raul Nicholas "Nick" Bernard. Lucy was right-her new plant has a direct effect on the future of Bernard Chocolates in that it could end up making them millions. When the first batch of Bliss chocolate comes off the line, Lucy decides to give it a taste test. Who knew chocolate could taste so heavenly, or that it would turn this shy woman who only fantasized about Nick Bernard in private into a sex-starved woman who lets a kiss lead to "the Night of the Chocolate." Suddenly, one wild night of passion turns into a whole lot more, when the nausea Lucy starts experiencing turns out not to be an ulcer, but a pregnancy.

Nick Bernard has always done the right thing. So when he learns that Lucy is pregnant with his child, he's determined that they'll get married. Unfortunately, the quiet, shy Lucy has a whole lot to say about marrying the boss's grandson-and none of it seems to be good. Somehow, Nick has to convince Lucy that he cares for her, that he is, in fact, falling in love with her, and wants to marry her for more than just the sake of their child. Bliss chocolate is a huge success, and Nick wants nothing more than to make his relationship with Lucy a success, too.

BLAME IT ON CHOCOLATE is, in a word, charming. A down-to-earth romance with likable characters who find themselves in a situation that many people deal with in the real world, Lucy and Nick are a couple that everyone can relate to. Nick tries so hard to be nice that he doesn't realize that Lucy needs to know he loves her, and Lucy is just naïve enough to think that what they have isn't strong enough to keep them together. All in all, BLAME IT ON CHOCOLATE is a sweet indulgence for a satisfying afternoon read.

This was a fun book, the characters were fresh and the subject was CHOCOLATE! A great combination. A quick easy read.

Couldn't get into it.

I love chocolate and I enjoy this book a lot. I like to read books on chocolate, they make me happy.

Very fun, fast chick lit novel!

Really cute book. I enjoyed the characters immensely!

Lucy Fitzhenry develops an experimental strain of chocolate. She decides to test it on herself and it turns her from a plant-loving introvert into someone a lot more out going. During a celebration with her boss, Nick, they share a shocking kiss and quite a bit more. She blamed it on the chocolate. Her new discovery was supposed to have made her career. Not turn her practical, logical, normal life upside down and get her pregnant with her boss’s baby! Though she and Nick butt heads at work, they obviously share a certain chemistry. With a little luck (and chocolate!) maybe they can turn their one-night stand into the chance of a lifetime.

I loved this book! Such a really cute story. I also enjoyed Blame it on Cupid.

Sort of leaps into the middle of the characters lives without any build up but still a good read.

Nice quick read, basic fluff romance.

Fun read

Great book, as all of her books, read it in 2 days.
a rare strain of chocolate has Lucy wondering how she fell in love with her boss, and found herself pregnant with the boss's baby. She and Nick the boss butt heads at work, but they are a great match in bed. With a little luck and chocol;ate maybe they could turn their one night stand into the chance of a lifetime.
Great reading!!!!
