Rebecca Layton returns to her hometown in the hopes of reuniting with her past love, Raymond Colton, only to find he's engaged to her best friend from long ago. Crushed, she doesn't know what to do. Should she just accept Raymond has moved on or do everything she can to win his love back? It won't be easy as she broke his heart years ago when she left to fulfill her dreams in the big city. When Raymond's father seeks her marketing help with his fledgling ice cream shop, she can't say no. As her and Raymond work close together, sparks fly and tempers flare. Can these two love birds reconcile past hurts or will their love evaporate faster than a mocha whirl?
A Whirl with my Mocha-Chocolate Swirl is a brand new installment in the One Scoop or Two series. The African American hero/heroine offers readers a fresh take on romance. I love reading diverse romance and this one took me by surprise. With an angsty plot, Dalia Dupris wows the reader with emotional narration. There's plenty of past hurts and misunderstandings for Rebecca and Raymond to overcome. I appreciated the raw emotional tension throughout the book. This is a character-driven story with plenty of conflicts. I really wished I could give Rebecca and Raymond a shake and tell them to share their feelings. The ending felt a little rushed. Overall, A Whirl with my Mocha-Chocolate Swirl is a terrific beach read that can be read at any time of the year. If you like your romance angsty, you'll love this one! I look forward to reading more from the author.
My Rating: 4.75 stars
