"The narration by Marisa Calin is once again spot on perfection from intonation, to pronunciation to accents she gets and A+ and her portrayal of Xanthe is an absolute treasure." (The Reading Frenzy)

The second audiobook in a bewitching series "brimming with charm and charisma" that will make "fans of Outlander rejoice!" (Woman's World Magazine)

New York Times best-selling author Paula Brackston returns to the Found Things series with Secrets of the Chocolate House.

After her adventures in the 17th century, Xanthe does her best to settle back into the rhythm of life in Marlborough. She tells herself she must forget about Samuel and leave him in the past where he belongs. With the help of her new friends, she does her best to move on, focusing instead on the success of her and Flora’s antique shop.

But there are still things waiting to be found, still injustices needing to be put right, still voices whispering to Xanthe from long ago about secrets wanting to be shared.

While looking for new stock for the shop, Xanthe hears the song of a copper chocolate pot. Soon after, she has an upsetting vision of Samuel in great danger, compelling her to make another journey to the past.

This time, she'll meet her most dangerous adversary. This time, her ability to travel to the past will be tested. This time, she will discover her true destiny. Will that destiny allow her to return home? And will she be able to save Samuel when his own fate seems to be sealed?

I love paulas books she is a wonderful story teller. this series has me deep and waiting for the next book to come out. loved the first 2 books and the story they spun.

As Good as the First

I love a good time-travel story and this is exactly that. The last hour of the book dragged a little for me as it did little to advance the story and was basically just a set-up for the next book (and a pretty obvious one at that). But it does leave me wanting more so I'll happily continue the series!

Amazing Series

This is the best series!! You can’t stop listening to it!! The characters become real.

Loved it!

Marisa Calin really is one of the best narrators I've listened to!! I enjoyed the second book as much as the first (although, I have to confess, I wish there was a little more romance). Brackston's fine details of 17th century clothing, food and antiques keeps me intrigued and wanting to hear more!

Spinners

I liked the development of the "spinning " talent. I was satisfied with the love interests. I wish she wouldn't lie so much to her mother: maybe the mother is a spinner too. I look forward to the next book.
