International Bestselling Author Ava Miles shares a heartwarming and emotional novel about the magic of love and second chances amidst a chocolate garden.
Visionary gardener Tammy Hollins is making a new life for herself and her children after a tragic marriage. Plants she understands, but men…well, … marriage. Plants she understands, but men…well, they’re of the weed variety. She’s started her own landscaping business, catering to her country music rock star brother’s friends. Her first client is sexy, soulful, Alpha hero material, and the one man who tantalizes her and scares her to death.
John Parker McGuiness is a man of many talents, working as a songwriter and lawyer for country music’s biggest stars. He’s drawn to Tammy like no other and hires her as his landscaper, wanting to show her they’re made for each other. When Tammy learns he’s a professed chocoholic, she fashions a magical garden for him — a chocolate garden.
As the garden comes to life, their love for each other grows. When tragedy strikes Tammy’s home, John Parker is willing to move mountains to protect her and her children. Tammy struggles to guard her newfound independence as they use the magic of the chocolate garden to help her children feel safe again. But when secrets from Tammy’s past resurface, can their love and passion survive the memories haunting her?

Ava Miles has created two of the most adorable children characters ever to grace a novel. Rory, age 7 and Annabelle, age 5 are the son and daughter of our heroine, Tammy Hollins. They’re all survivors of a prison called home and the abusive warden was Tammy’s ex-husband. John Parker McGuiness fell for Tammy a year ago, when she and her children came to live with her brother and his close friend, famous country singer Rye Crenshaw. You gotta love a man who loves a woman enough to give her time to mend, room to grow, and to put her children’s needs ahead of his own. I am on to the next book in the series and I highly recommend that you make your own visit to Dare River as soon as possible!
Chocolate
This is a beautiful continuation of this series. Its great to see a story about 2 more of the people but still have the whole family involved in the storyline
The Dare River Series (6 books) by Ava Miles is a wonderful series!!!!!!
Wonderful story!
This is the first book in the ‘Dare River’ series that I have read. It was definitely an eye opener towards the end. It was a second chance at love for the divorced Tammy. John Parker, JP by his friends, has watched her for sometime. But her divorce was a ruff one. She needed to get over the hurt left by her philandering ex. It was also insightful to her mind set as to why she didn’t want to remarry. John Parker’s love should win out in the end. Can’t wait to go back and read the first book now.
Liked story would read this author again
Have been enjoying all if these books in this series.
A different kind of HEA.
Whether you read it as part of the series or stand alone; it’s a good-read either way.
I truly enjoyed this book. It was an easy read, but very well written.
You know the couple will get together- it is a romance after all – just not in the way you normally expected. Stayed up late reading to see what would happen next.
Can’t wait to read the rest of this series
