Blame It On Chocolate (A Moment in Time Book 3) Kindle Edition

In this funny short story romance, A Moment in Time is all it takes for Love to be Revealed.

Chloe Elliot was a good girl. She’d never been a hell-raiser. Never gotten drunk, used drugs, smoked pot, or slept around. She didn’t even curse! Since her dad was the son of a minister and the oft-elected mayor, and her mom was the elementary school principal, she'd had no choice but to live a life above reproach. Truthfully, it really hadn’t been that difficult.

Until Hunter Cole returned to his home town.

That was the beginning of Chloe's fall from good girl status. There was just something about the man that addled her brain and created havoc in her body.

Hunter Cole reckoned he had the best of all possible worlds. He'd played for the NFL, and even though two back surgeries had ended that career, he was lucky enough to follow in his dad's footsteps and work the family ranch and also follow his granddad's path and be the sheriff in his west Texas town. Life was perfect.

Until he dropped by the library to say hello to his best friend's little sister.

Chloe wasn't so little any more. In fact, just looking at her made his common sense evaporate. She affected him like no other woman—and he'd had women throwing themselves at him since he was a high school quarterback! If he made a move on her, her brother would nail his hide to the wall. So how could he get close to Chloe without risking his life?

BLAME IT ON CHOCOLATE is Book 3 of A Moment in Time Romance, a short story series by Joan Reeves, NY Times and USA Today bestselling author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful story
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2017

This is a delightful little story that can be read easily in one afternoon. It starts with Chloe, a librarian and "good little girl" who got herself caught in a predicament. Hiding in an office closet because of a deal she made with her friend. Things became rather embarrassing when the object of her desire, Hunter, found her hiding in the closet.

She was definitely attracted to him, and he was attracted to her, but she didn't realized his attraction until she managed to escape from the office and arrived at home to see the pleasant surprise waiting for her.

This is a cute, short, and funny little story that'll warm your heart and make you giggle.

5.0 out of 5 stars What was she doing hiding in a closet?
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017
Why did she decide that this was a good idea? She had had a crush on Hunter since high school. He had returned to town after his NFL career was over. After watching a movie she and her girlfriend thought it would be a good idea to jump out of the closet with little to nothing on. Now while in the closet she had second thoughts.

A very cute story. You could feel her embarrassment and pain. Hunter wanted more than friendship, but what if she didn't? Very short and complete story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, short story
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017
This is such a sweet, funny, short story. I really enjoyed it, it was fun reading. Chloe was such a relatable character, the good girl who follows the rules and doesn't do anything daring. And when Hunter comes back into her life, she throws caution to the wind. Luckily everything worked out and there was a very happy ending to this cute story.
