About the author
Beverly Farr
24 books60 followersHappily-ever-after is my drug of choice. Not that I won’t read or watch a sad story (now and then), but I crave happy endings. I love Jane Austen, Cinderella stories, and 1930s screwball comedies. (Think An AFFAIR TO REMEMBER or WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING). Since real life has a way of being tough enough, I write sweet, quirky contemporary romances to take the edge off.
What you will find in my stories:
1. Sweet quirky romance.
2. Very little swearing. There may be an occasional hell or damn, maybe even a b*tch, but there will be no Lord’s name in vain and no f-bombs.
3. No explicit sex scenes. Characters might discuss sex, but any love scenes are off screen (Think AFRICAN QUEEN).
4. No vampires. At least, not yet.

An interesting variation with 2 of my favorite characters in the series
I loved Amanda and Rick from previous books & was so glad they got their own story. I did find myself overly frustrated with a decision that Amanda made near the end as I felt it was too irrational for me to believe, but thankfully the happily-ever-after helps smooth everything out.

Sweet Love
She's a divorced mother of a child with Autism and is barely scraping by. When she had a bite of a cinnamon roll she had no idea she'd found her future. Needs better editing but still a good book.

It was fine. I just find fairy-tale based stories clichéd, especially Cinderella (poor girl marrying a rich guy), no matter what the genre is. And what happened to Britt? Was the friendship totally over or they reconciled?

Awesome read
This book as well as the other books by Beverly Farr are very well written, entertaining & romantic. I would definitely recommend it.

This one was cute and fun while still dealing with the realities of autism with grace and class.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
In my opinion, this is the best book in the Love and Chocolate series. The characters were well-drawn, easy to relate to, and likeable without being too perfect. The glimpses of characters from the first two books in the series was nice as well.
I think anyone who has faced the responsibilities and stresses of looking after someone with an ongoing physical or mental condition will find it especially easy to relate to Amanda's situation, even if they've never had to deal with Autism. Given her history, her reluctance to depend on others made sense, even if it wasn't always the right call.
I liked Rick's character as well. He was kind, generous, patient, but not perfect. He never became dull. I especially liked that he wasn't a complete pushover and stood up for himself under unfair treatment.
This book was hopeful, uplifting, romantic, and clean. Couldn't ask for more than that.

My review goes live tomorrow! Check it out HERE: https://escapingrealitybookreviews.wo...
One thing I love about Beverly Farr’s romance novels is that there is ALWAYS more to the story than just romance. There’s intrigue, danger, realistic life roadblocks. Her books may have a happily ever after, but getting there is never an easy road. Did I mention that I freakin’ LOVE this book? Cuz I did! My favorite out of the series, by far. I really want to re-read it now…
I HIGHLY recommend this book to readers ages 13+.

I read a few other books by this author and loved them but I didn't like this as well. I loved Rick and the story flowed well and held my interest. Unlike the other stories where the characters had good common sense, Amanda totally flew off the handle at one point. I found that very disappointing.

A story of love
It starts as a story with no love, moves into a story that talks about love and turns into a true love story. The characters were well written. An enjoyable read.

Sweet Story
A single Mom deals with a selfish and dishonest ex-husband who has abandond her and his autistic son. Along comes the slightly too perfect Rick to save the day. Can Amanda trust again? A fun, clean read.
