About the book, Unrivaled:

    Lucy Kendall returns from a tour of the Continent, her luggage filled with the latest fashions and a mind fired by inspiration. After tasting Europe's best confections, she's sure she'll come up with a recipe that will save her father's struggling candy business and reverse their fortunes. But she soon discovers that their biggest competitor, the cheat who swindled her father out of his prize recipe, has now hired a promotions manager--a cocky, handsome out-of-towner who gets under Lucy’s skin.

     Charlie Clarke's new role at Standard Manufacturing is the chance of a lifetime. He can put some rough times behind him and reconnect with the father he's never known. The one thing he never counted on, however, was tenacious Lucy Kendall. She's making his work life miserable...and making herself impossible for him to forget.

Joy In Our Journey's review by Jan:

    Siri Mitchell has written a very sweet  story about romance and candy!  Unrivaled is the story of two heirs to the candy making industry.  How they manage to mix up a very delicious tale is one you will enjoy reading!

    First, we have the candy lady. Lucy has just returned from a year-long tour of Europe.  She hopes to invent a delicious new candy that will make her father's candy factory once again the leader in the candy making world.  But to her dismay, her father has had a life-threatening heart attack, and is about to lose his factory to his rival.  Then, Lucy is selected to be the "Queen of Love and Beauty".  How will this help her to save her father's candy factory?

    The candy man, Charlie, on the other hand, is first seen as an inmate in the local jail, accused of murder.  He is acquitted, and his father - who long ago deserted the family - sends for Charlie to come to St. Louis to help him run his candy factory.  Charlie's father is not a very nice man, and it seems that he is trying to take Lucy's father's candy factory away from her.

    This sticky story is a sweet tale of taffy like problems, creamy chocolate romance and a few nougats of nutty situations, altogether a book of delicious treats, just waiting for you to enjoy.  For another addicting book by Siri Mitchell, don't miss Unrivaled [affiliate link].  PS, Don't forget a couple of pieces of chocolate to enjoy while you read this addicting, sweet book!
