Product Description
From Booklist
It looks as though chocolaholic Candace Woodrow's wedding is doomed. The DJ has a heart attack. The priest runs off with the church secretary. A fire turns her wedding gown to ashes. But nothing holds a candle to the fact that three weeks before the wedding, Candace wakes up in a strange man's bed with a hangover. Michael falls for Candace as she pours out her heart to him after her fifth margarita. Even though it's obvious that they're soul mates, Candace insists on going through with her plans to marry her dull but reliable fiance, who's brought his dictatorial, manipulative mother along to help Candace get things right. Michael figures that Candace is fair game until she actually says "I do," and he tries everything to woo her away from her ill-suited intended. Humor abounds in this start to a promising new series, and as an extra bonus, Jump provides decadent chocolate recipes with very entertaining directions. Shelley Mosley

This book is a must-read!, Sep 12 2004
By Shirley Jump Groupie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bride Wore Chocolate (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book. This funny, sexy, melt-in-your mouth story about a sensible bride-to-be, her straight-laced groom-to-be, and an accidental complication--a temptingly delicious bachelor-for-life with a romantic streak as wide as a river of Godiva kept me guessing all the way to the tasty conclusion.The moment I read about the heroine waking up in the wrong man's bed after her can't-find-a-wedding-dress pity party (whoops!) I knew this story was a winner. If you love romantic comedy, especially fast-paced, witty, FUN writing, this is the book for you.

even the recipes made me laugh, Oct 6 2004
By M.K. "reads and writes" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bride Wore Chocolate (Mass Market Paperback)
It's a delicious frothy book. The hero and heroine are fun together and the over-the-top secondary characters (like the much-marrying mom) add plenty of color to the mix. WARNING: Do not attempt to read this unless you have chocolate in the house. At least have a few chocolate chips on hand.

Romance and Chocolate - What Could be Better?, May 28 2005
By M. Rondeau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bride Wore Chocolate (Mass Market Paperback)
Candace Woodrow was getting married in three weeks and for someone who was detail oriented - planning everything down to the minutest detail, fate seemed to be conspiring against her. Were these all `signs' as her wacky grandmother kept telling her that this was wedding shouldn't take place - like the dress shop burning down with her bridal gown; the priest running off with the church secretary; or the cheap labels falling off the wedding invitations? Or was it fate weaving it's treacherous fingers in her life that found her waking up in a strange hunk's bed after a night of over imbibing too many cocktails and then find said `hunk' constantly turning up in her life and distracting her from the course she had set her mind on? Then fate must have had a very weird sense of humor.Fate must have had a hand in putting Candace Woodrow in Michael Volgers face as well, because this confirmed bachelor couldn't seem to put her out of his mind as well. Candace was so different from any of the society debs he'd dated so far and just maybe he was going to reevaluate his stance on bachelorhood now that he'd had a taste of `Candy'.
This was a delightful and fun read - not to mention `fattening' if you follow even half the delectable recipes served up with a heavy dose of sage advice and loads of chocolate. Candace had once thrown caution to the wind been betrayed and vowed to live life by the book rather than run the chance of being hurt like that ever again. She'd picked out the safe - if boring road according to her wacky grandmother - and was ready to marry Barry Borkenstein. Fortunately, Michael entered her life and was ready, willing and able to convince her that she should trust her heart once more and take a leap of faith - with him. Filled with wonderful chocolate recipes, an indomitable and wacky grandmother, a serial marrying mother, and well-intentioned friends -- this is a sensually romantic comedy you won't want to miss. --- Marilyn, for www.romancedesigns.com ---
