Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Chocolate Minx

Chocolatier Brandon spends long hours creating erotic chocolate candy rather than go home to a lonely house. His former corporate live-in boyfriend dumped him, stating that Brandon is not worthy of a real relationship. Since the break up, Brandon, who’s a biker with tattoos, hangs an invisible “off limits” sign on all guys in suits. This mind-set works until David comes to the shop to pick up an order of chocolates for his best friend's wedding. The chemistry between the two men is irresistible, encouraging Brandon and David to explore the possibility of a long-term relationship; something both men are missing in their lives.

Bittersweet is a wonderful story of a budding romance. Beneath the bad-boy image of his appearance, Brandon is a friendly and sensitive man. David is down-to-earth and shares most of Brandon’s common interests. The talented Maura Anderson has created a tale showcasing sensual desires as well as secondary characters that add humor into this engaging and enjoyable story.

Ohh - thank you for the lovely review Chocolate Nymph! I'm glad you enjoyed Brandon and Dave.

I'll be finishing their story in a separate book, too!

So there's hope for more ? good! I want to see where this goes and if the kitties like Dave. Both men are very considerate of other's feelings, I liked that.
