★★ Immerse yourself in the delightful world of small-town romance that will tug at your heartstrings. ★★



It’s your last love who truly matters.

Sally Elliot is the talented owner of a charming candy store renowned for her mouthwatering coffee chocolate fudge. When a special Valentine's Day candy requires a unique infusion chocolate that fails to arrive on time, Sally takes matters into her own hands. Determined to retrieve the missing ingredient, she finds herself stranded near a quaint diner.

Little does she know that this unexpected detour will lead her to Oliver Menroe, the kind-hearted owner of the diner. Drawn to his gentle nature and genuine care for his customers, Sally can't resist his challenge to create homemade delectable chocolates together. As they spend time crafting sweet confections, a spark ignites between them, rekindling a glimmer of hope that Sally had long buried.

But as a disillusioned single mother, she's cautious and hesitant to believe in lasting love.

This is a story of love, second chances, and the sweetness of unexpected connections. Lose yourself in the cozy atmosphere of a small town, where unforgettable characters and delectable treats come to life. Experience the joy of discovering that sometimes the most extraordinary love stories unfold in the most ordinary places.

From the Author

Dear Friends,
I love chocolate, especially around Valentine's Day.
So, I wanted to write a Valentine romance centering around chocolate, which continues the stories of my other 2 Chocolate-Box books.
I hope you love this short, sweet romance.
Enjoy!

Josie Riviera

    A Chocolate-Box Valentine is a sweet addition to author Josie Riviera’s chocolate-box series.
    In this novella, chocolate plays a role in the romance – but probably not in quite the way you might expect.

    Keep in mind that this is a novella, so things move along a lot faster than you would expect in real life. Even within the confines of this short book, the author is still able to bring her characters to life. I loved the way she was able to bring an immediate connection between Sally and Oliver because they both owned food establishments. A fallen tree serves as the perfect mechanism to provide a reason for them to spend time together.

    Extend your Valentine’s Day by an hour or two and curl up someplace comfy and cozy to
    read this delightful story.

    I accepted an advance copy from the author although I had already preordered this book.
    The chance to read it early was too good to pass up! No promise was made of a positive
    review and any opinion expressed here is my own.

    This is an enjoyable short story rather than a novel. The main character is chocolatier Sally. Things move quickly for her and a new love interest, which can sometimes happen, thus the plot is realistic. The author gives Sally a good background development, plus she appears in other of this series. My only fault is I wish she made them a little longer with greater development. This one includes a candy recipe which I liked. Overall, a good way to spend a few hours in the evening.

    A Chocolate-Box Valentine is a short, sweet, cute, novella - just the right length for a break from your busy life. Trapped by a storm, workaholic Sally meets Oliver, owner of the diner. Forced to take a break, Sally finds this slower pace to be surprisingly restful. To see how Sally, Oliver and the diner patrons pass their time, you have to read this amazing story.

    Sally Elliott, had a problem.
    Valentine's day, a candy shop, and NO chocolate.
    The delivery man had got stranded.
    Sally drove down to recover the chocolate, and met the kindest man, who assisted her on her return trip.
    there relationship and romance grows, from here.
    It's a really delightful book, that Josie has managed to bring the characters together,
    the books flow so well.
    Josie has a way with words that draws the best out of the characters, scenery.

    I very much recommend the Christmas box series.
    This is a lovely series, each is stand alone.
    However I personally like to read them in order.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
    This is a quick read, where you can feel a part of the story, like a fly on the wall experiencing the events and emotions.
    Sally and Olive are very different kind of business owners and very different thoughts on how things flow in life.
    Definitely a 5+ star read!;

    A short and sweet Valentine's read that I finished in just a few hours. A cute story about second-chance romance for our H and h who met by happenstance and enjoyed sharing their love for food. I also enjoyed--and can't wait to try--the Peanut Butter Cup recipe! A sweet clean read that I highly recommend!

    A delightful short and sweet story just right for Valentines Day! The characters are well developed and the scenes are vividly described. Sally meets Oliver when she goes to pick up a specialty chocolate order at his diner where it is stranded. She quickly sees how he treats all of his customers and the joy he has in running his business. Can these two have a second chance for love?
    I received an advance copy of this book from the author and I voluntarily wrote an honest review.
  • Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020
    Sally and Oliver were both divorced and running their own businesses. I loved that he enjoyed making people happy with food and giving back. Sally was so focused on her business and trying to keep up with her success by promoting a new infusion chocolate that she forgot about what makes her happy. This was a short and sweet second chance at love romance with an instant love feel.

    Another quick, cute story from Josie Riviera. The interactions between Sally and Oliver were sweet, as was the chocolate! Enjoyable. 😊
