Descripción editorial
The spiciest risks lead to the sweetest rewards
in this delicious, MM retelling of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Dario Cotogna has a problem. Per his late grandfather’s wishes, if Dario’s not married by his thirty-second birthday, his family’s chocolate empire will go to his philandering little brother. To make matters worse, Dario’s agoraphobia keeps him locked away from the rest of the world. How can he put himself out there and meet “the one” if he literally can’t put himself out there?
The solution? A global competition. Five lucky contestants get an all-expenses-paid trip to Dario’s luxury Italian villa for a chance at becoming his lawfully wedded spouse.
But aspiring tattoo artist Charlie Moore isn’t looking for love—he’s looking for a miracle. As his grandparents’ sole caregiver, he’s desperate to keep their bill collectors at bay. Marrying into the Amorina Chocolate fortune could save his family home from foreclosure. But when Charlie meets the brilliant heir, their attraction is instant—and very, very real.
After a whirlwind week of wine, indulgence and temptation as spicy as it is sweet, will Dario and Charlie melt under the pressure…or find a love that’s truly worth savoring?
One Week to Win the Chocolate Maker is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Janovsky (The Fake Dating Game) delivers another over-the-top queer romance, this time riffing on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Pennsylvania native Charlie Moore's family is struggling to make ends meet and their house is on the verge of foreclosure. His solution? Enter a contest hosted by the eccentric Amorina Chocolate corporation, the prize of which is heir Dario Cotogna's hand in marriage. It was a scheme cooked up by Dario's late grandfather, and it has Charlie and four others from across the world arriving for a week in the beautiful Villa Meraviglia in Perugia, Italy. What follows is a Bachelor-esque competition for Dario's affection, albeit with some Roald Dahl–inspired twists along the way. It's an unabashedly goofy setup, and the parallels to the original often feel odd or out of place, not least because the love interests are based on Willy Wonka and Charlie Bucket. Meanwhile, Dario's oft-mentioned penchant for wearing fedoras and "steampunk-style" fingerless gloves, and Charlie's visceral attraction to these sartorial choices, may turn off some readers. Despite a handful of cringe-worthy moments, however, Janovsky excels at combining the silly and outlandish with the sincerely heartfelt. The author's devoted fans will welcome this.
