Love at the Chocolate Shop Books in Order

These books sit inside Marietta, Montana's bigger chocolate-shop world, but Steena Holmes uses that setting for intimate, modern love stories. The town matters, the chocolate shop matters, and the sense of everyone knowing everyone else's business matters just as much.

In Charmed by Chocolate, Leah comes home bruised by very public embarrassment and has to face Wade, the best friend she never quite stopped loving. In Captured by Chocolate, Casey and Dylan are already tied to each other, but years of distance and different dreams make homecoming much more complicated than either of them expects.

The conflicts here are romantic, but they are grounded in ordinary life.

Careers pull people away. Pride gets in the way. Small towns remember everything. Holmes keeps the stakes personal, which gives both books a warm, lived-in feel. There is plenty of attraction and longing, but there is also a lot of attention paid to timing, trust, and whether two people actually want the same kind of future.

The chocolate-shop setting gives the series its cozy thread. Friends, neighbors, family, and sweet treats keep these stories buoyant even when the couples are hurting each other. If you want contemporary romance with familiar-town comfort, a little yearning, and a lot of second-chance energy, this is what you should expect.
