Review by Hibiscus

 

 
When it comes to chocolate, Tish Richmond delivers the goods. Her home business, Tish's Dishes, is booming, and a new contract with Dareville's popular grocery store allows her the opportunity to expand her reach. Happy as she should be for the exposure, Tish longs to stop her waistline from expanding further so love can reach her.

Gorgeous Vinnie comes to Dareville to work for his uncle's limousine company. One look at Tish and he's struck by the sexy, voluptuous entrepreneur. Can he convince Tish that the size of her dishes don't matter to him, and will she let him satisfy his sweet tooth?

Daringly Delicious continues the Dareville stories with a tasty treat about truffles. I love chocolates and hot hunks so I just loved this tale of Trish and Vinnie and how they come together.

 

I liked the character of Trish Richmond. She seemed to me to be a woman who does not know her own value nor how beautiful she really is. Trish thinks of herself as unattractive and lacking in confidence but  I thought she was  beautiful, successful and very imaginative. The things she imagines in her mind to do with Vinnie were great.

 

I loved the character of Vinnie Petrocelli... but then again I love tall, dark, Italian men with accents, New York or not. I found it a little hard that such a hunk would be shy around Trish. He appeared to be a chick magnet in the story. There were some funny moments in the story as Vinnie and his Uncle Dom discussed a plan of attack on dating Trish that would start in a month. I also liked that Vinnie was not above blatant exhibitionism to get his way. It definitely grew hotter as he kept his shirt off in Trish's house and what can I say about the chocolate on the chest except Yum.

 

There were a few minor characters in the story. I liked Uncle Dom, who is very possessive of his wife and also funny, see the above plan. I also liked Lupe, who is Uncle Dom's wife. She helped boost Trish's confidence in herself and was instrumental in getting Trish and Vinnie together. I did not like to character of Lola. She came off as the obligatory office slut who wants Vinnie and bad mouths Trish.

 

I must say that this Dareville story was a delicious treat and good to the last.
