Be my muse

I loved this book!!! The characters were endearing and grabbed my heart!
The narration was good, there was not a lot of distinct difference between characters though.
I am excited for the Eurika in love series

Sweet Romance

This is the first book in the Eureka in Love Series, a Small Town Romance. I love River Ford's writing. Kerri and Eric's story is clean, emotional, romantic, and beautifully written. The characters are amazing. Kathleen Miranti did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it.

Enjoyable romance

I read this book a year ago and really enjoyed it, so I thought I’d enjoy the audiobook. I like that this book has a heroine with a realistic problem - she suffers from a chronic debilitating disease. I like River Ford’s writing, but I wish a different narrator had been chosen for this book.

Quick contemporary romance

Chocolate Kisses is a quick contemporary romance read by River Ford. Kerri just found out she has rheumatoid arthritis. She likes Eric, the new sculpture in town, when she meets him. An old relationship leaves her heart hurt, and her trust lacking. Can she overcome her fears and give this relationship a chance? Eric is inspired by Kerri. He is willing to hang in there until she is ready. The book was great to listen to. I’ll definitely listen to the next book in the series soon!

Delightful!

This story started out so well with a sculptor trying to enjoy creating art again, and a young woman suffering the effects of her diagnosis and progression of RA. Eric had been hurt by a girlfriend who wanted to use him for status and money, and friends who were fake and shallow. He had no intention of entering into any sort of a new relationship, but Kerri was different somehow, and he enjoyed spending time with her. Eric discovers that she is his muse and that his passion for sculpting has returned. Kerri is trying so hard to cover her pain because she doesn't want anybody to feel sorry for her and she's somewhat embarrassed that she's becoming "such a burden." An offhand remark by one of her friends sends Eric into a panic, thinking that Kerri is no different than the woman who dumped him when he makes an assumption that Kerri's hoping that he will pay her medical bills. Then, all of a sudden it all went south.... Not giving Kerri a chance to affirm or deny his accusations, Eric turned cold and spewed angry and hurtful words at her. He totally withdrew from her and continued to speak harshly, completely confusing and wounding her. I was so shocked that I had to stop listening for a moment! Over the next couple of days, Eric ruminated and obsessed over the "fact" that she was using him and I seriously wanted to crawl through the audiobook and slap him up! It took him too long to realize that he was wrong and, by the end of the story, he had only begun to redeem himself. There wasn't any time before the slightly rushed ending for them to have a HEA, but their HFN is very sweet. 
Kathleen Miranti does a wonderful job with the narration. Her clear voice, with excellent intonation and dynamic delivery, gives each character a unique personality and attitude as they come to life.
