The Chocolate Is The Life
Think Dracula meets Clueless. With chocolate.
For Frankie MacSweeney, life had never been sweeter.
Making the decision to move from London to the seaside city of Brighton and open a chocolate shop
wasn’t easy, but with her best friend Louise by her side and fiancé James on track toward a bright future of his own Frankie finally felt like she had found something she could settle into.
Of course, as with all good things, she should have known it wouldn’t last.
When James disappears during an important business trip in the Swiss Alps and Louise starts acting stranger by the day after her big birthday bash, it’s down to Frankie to work out what’s happening while trying to get everything sorted in time for the shop’s grand opening. And as if that weren’t enough on her dessert plate, enter Henry Roberts: the gorgeous and mysterious stranger who might just hold the key to all of it.
Revenge can be sweet. Literally.

About the author
Kerri Thomson
5 books5 followersKerri started writing at a young age, on a wide variety of topics ranging from an illustrated account of the Canadian Constitution at eight to the fully choreographed script of a Christmas pageant at thirteen. In her Grade 12 Creative Writing class, she earned the moniker ‘Kerri King’ for the often macabre tone of her stories.
In adulthood she all but abandoned the craft but not her creative streak, with job titles that included shop manager for a Gothic and Victorian fetish boutique and makeup artist in London, England. But before long, the itch to write again became too great to bear.
These days when she’s not writing, reading, watching TV or Tweeting about watching TV she can be found at an optometry office in a white lab coat, enjoying it more than she maybe should when patients thinks she’s the doctor.
She enjoys shoes, hair bands from the Eighties and the colour pink.

Scrumptious and sexy!
As delicious and decadent as the finest Belgium chocolate, loaded with bittersweet romance, spicy nuggets of humor and a dark, delectable mystery that was impossible to set aside until I'd nibbled up every last crumb! Not to mention a thoroughly scrumptious temptation in Henry, whom the main character Frankie - and readers - will find hard to resist.
I've recently misplaced my Kindle reader and hate reading on my smartphone, but this book captured my interest so strongly that I didn't even notice I was reading on a teeny tiny screen. Kerri Thomson has created a vivid world with compelling characters and sensory depth that really does take you off the page and into her world completely.

A very well written and engaging book. The characters are rich and very charming. The author has a unique way of drawing you right into the story to the point where you can't stop reading.
