Champion Chocolatier

Cocoa Christmas Collection

By: Amanda Zieba

Narrated by: Lisa Hicks

Emmy is a 30-year-old stuck in a dead-end job she hates, but life takes a pleasantly unexpected turn when she wins a Facebook contest to own and operate a chocolate shop in northern Minnesota. When she leaves the big city for a fresh start (despite knowing nothing about business or candy making), fun, romance, and little mystery follow. Will her new business succeed before the December 31st deadline? Will the cute guy from the store next door add to her sweet rewards, or will he only be a disaster-level distraction? Two tablespoons of big dreams, a dash chocolatey goodness, and a pinch of love. Step inside Sweet Shores Chocolate Store and enjoy this winning story recipe.

I love the story idea but I could not get through it because I felt the woman who narrated the story sounded too much like my grandmother. The main female character is supposed to be 30 and a city girl but that unfortunately did not come a cross in the narration. Lisa Hicks has a nice voice but it felt mismatched.
