Dreams and Dark Chocolate: A Sunshine Bay Shops Novelette Kindle Edition

by Jeanine Lauren (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (22)

🍫 Sometimes love is as unexpected—and irresistible—as dark chocolate. ❤️

After years of putting everyone else first, Emma Harris finally dares to chase her dream of running her own chocolate shop in Sunshine Bay. She’s determined to prove she can build a new life—one truffle at a time.

Drew McDonald is doing his best to rebuild, too. Divorced, trying to boost his tour business, and unsure of his next step, he takes on a temporary project helping Emma promote her Valentine’s Day event. The more time they spend together, the sweeter their partnership becomes—and the harder it is to ignore the spark neither expected.

But old wounds, new fears, and a few melted plans threaten to spoil the recipe. Can two people afraid to trust again learn that the best things in life—like love and chocolate—are meant to be shared?

💖 Dreams and Dark Chocolate is a heart-warming, clean small-town romance about second chances, courage, and following your heart. Perfect for readers who adore sweet, feel-good love stories, uplifting women’s fiction, and cozy small town settings.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate Dreams
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2026
    Format: Kindle
    Dreams in Dark Chocolate by Janine Lauren is a sweet and uplifting romance that blends heartfelt emotion with a cozy small-town atmosphere. Emma Harris and Drew McDonald make an engaging pair, and their collaboration to save Emma’s struggling chocolate shop adds a meaningful layer of hope and determination to the story. I especially enjoyed how their shared challenges helped them grow both individually and together, making the romance feel natural and genuine. This was a charming, feel-good read that will appeal to anyone who enjoys light romance with a touch of warmth and resilience.

    I was given an advanced copy of this book for free, and I’m leaving my review voluntarily.

    Dreams and Dark Chocolate by Jeanine Lauren
    This is a sweet book from start to finish. I enjoyed reading the story of Emma Harris and Drew McDonald. Emma is the owner of the Chocolate shop, but it isn't doing well. One morning, before the shop opened, a man came to the window and wanted to talk to Emma. Drew had started a Tour Company and wanted to find some extra business during the winter months. I loved the way the author wrote the characters in this story. You can't help rooting for both of them. I do recommend this story. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is my honest opinion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The HeArt Chocolate Shop with Emma and Drew
    Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2025

    Fell in love with main characters Drew and Emma. Yes, this is a shirt but ‘sweet story’ about Emma trying her hand at her own business, The HeArt of Chocolate, and Drew who is tying stores together for quaint tours and hands on workshops, which became very successful for Drew, Emma and several other stores and restaurant in Sunshine Bay.

    Found this to be a nice, easy paced read with a solid storyline.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate and the perfect man
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2025

    I love short romance stories, especially when chocolate is involved. Emma Harris is a chocolate artisans and owns The Heart of Chocolate. Emma expected more support from her mother when she opened the shop, but what she received in return was, " What will you do if it fails?( I would have responded, Im not going to fail)

    Emma was preparing for her day when a stranger taps on the window. Not just any strangers, Drew McDonald from Tasty Tours, wanting to discuss a business venture. This visit and others turned into so much more than they both anticipated. Emma was worried her mom may be right, Drew is her answer to saving her business and himself financially. A win-win for both.

    Heartfelt love story, love at first sight (which I believe in - I knew my husband for 3 months and a 1 year later we were married) and chocolate in the mix. Drew and Emma make a great team.

    Emma Harris had her chocolate shop The Heart of Chocolate and she was barely making it profitable. In walks Drew McDonald and he was looking for someone that could supply chocolates for his tour company. Drew gave her an idea and to say the least Emma was excited to get his proposal going but here is the thing he was new to this idea himself. Loved this quick novella and it was fun to read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A fun and engaging romance
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    Dreams and Dark Chocolate is connected to The Sunshine Bay Shops world, and is a novella that brings us Emma and Drew’s story. An unexpected business arrangement that might lead to so much more.

    Emma is a chocolatier with a promising chocolate shop, who is struggling at the moment to make her dreams come true. Unfortunately, the one person who should have been cheering her on has, in fact, become the biggest gloom and doomer in her life. When she’s approached by Drew, an enterprising businessman who runs Tasty Tours, with a business proposition, she’s intrigued. What started as a mutually beneficial business partnership will soon bloom into something neither expected… with more than a few dreams becoming reality.

    I had fun with Dreams and Dark Chocolate by Jeanine Lauren. It’s a well-written, engaging, fun romance that will quickly capture your heart. And, for me, it was a great introduction to a series that I want to learn more about. If you love chocolate and sweet romance, then check this one out.

    *I received an e-ARC of this novel from the author or the author’s team via Booksprout, and I sincerely thank them for their trust. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
