Visionary gardener Tammy Hollins is making a new life for herself and her children after an abusive 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, boy-next-door 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?

Fantastic story!

I've been listening to the Audible books by Ava Miles and love her new Dare River series! They contain suspense and passion as only Ava Miles can tell it. Cudos to narrator Em Eldridge for making the characters believable!

Love love love this character

I love all of Ava Mills characters and stories. I've been an Addict and I've bought them one after another. Lord knows what I'll do once I read them all. My next plan is to begin cooking "Tory's" family recipes. Anyhow Tammy is strong aware woman who finds herself and becomes the woman she never knew she could be or that she had the right to be. I think as woman we can all relate to Tammy in our own way. I Promise you'll love this story and find yourself wanting to plant your own Chocolate Garden of Dreams. Praying God will answer your secret prayers of the heart as well!

Love Chocolate

What can be better than love and chocolate. A garden filled with chocolate plants. Good story and people to relate with

The Chocolate Garden

The story is excellent. I makes me want to plant gardens of my own, especially a chocolate garden. Every woman can relate to the struggle Tammy goes through on the journey to find her voice.

The chocolate garden

Well done.good story. Hope to have more to read along the same line . Good book

Good book

Good book however it gets confusing each chapter as you do not know whose story it is. For example I know I am reading/listening about one specific character then all of a sudden another family member's point of view has come to light confusing me because I am thinking I am still listening to the original. It doesn't say chapter numbers and/or whom is speaking.

But great book overall

Magical Gardens!!

This book was great I have already suggested this author to friends! Love this book!
