Publisher's summary

Fresh pasta isn’t the only specialty that takes extra time...

The extra time and expense of Julie Elliot’s old-school cooking methods are worth it, but that means The Pasta Junction’s bottom line is often stretched thin - much like herself. Even during the holidays, the restaurant’s busiest season.

When she carves out time in her brutal schedule to meet with Bloomingfield weatherman Lorenzo Rossi, she crushes her reaction to the tall, blue-eyed charmer quicker and harder than a clove of roasted garlic. Lorenzo may be sweet as Italian cassata and hot as a red pepper, but planning an anniversary dinner means married, and she needs another disaster like that like she needs another olive oil stain on her shirt.

But as she and Lorenzo assemble the ingredients for a perfect celebration, she discovers something completely unexpected. And her heart may not withstand the storm of emotion she never saw coming.

Some recipes don’t turn out quite as you predicted...

Clean and sweet

This book is very sweet clean fast pace and romantic love at first side. The story is about Julie a workaholic and Lorenzo a take time to enjoy life man together they complement each other. I enjoy this book and recommend it.

Short but a wonderful story

This is a must listen to book, a short story but full of love and laughter.

He only had eyes for her.

A sweet instalove story. Lorenzo scheduled her restaurant for a special celebration for his mother and stepfather and insisted on a special family dessert. He kept insisting she hadn’t gotten it right, when he really wanted to just keep seeing her. He was a weatherman for the local news and she was a workaholic Italian restaurant owner. He had to keep reminding her that she could depend on her staff and to take time for herself, which was hard as it was her busiest time over the holidays. Clean. Good narration.

Great Read

A Chocolate-Box New Years (Chocolate-Box #2) was a great read by Josie Riviera. Julie runs The Pasta Junction and seems to be stretched thin. During the holidays, the restaurant is extremely busy, but she carves out time for the local weatherman Lorenzo. She is extremely attracted to him but he is planning an anniversary party and she knows he must be married. She discovers that everything isn't as it seems. I really enjoyed reading Julie and Lorenzo's story and can't wait to read more by Josie Riviera.

This is a sweet, short story I enjoyed. The narration is very good. I received a free copy from the author. This is my voluntary review.

Short and Sweet

This was the first book for me to read/listen to by Josie Riviera. It was well written for a short story. It took time to appreciate the hero, but I liked the heroin from the beginning. A sweet HEA.

Allyson Voller is an excellent narrator. Her performance made this audio. I really like her voice. It's so easy to listen to for longer periods.
