Secrets of the Chocolate House
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
"The narration by Marisa Calin is once again spot on perfection from intonation, to pronunciation to accents she gets and A+ and her portrayal of Xanthe is an absolute treasure." — The Reading Frenzy
The second audiobook in a bewitching series "brimming with charm and charisma" that will make "fans of Outlander rejoice!" (Woman's World Magazine)
New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston returns to the Found Things series with Secrets of the Chocolate House.
After her adventures in the seventeenth century, Xanthe does her best to settle back into the rhythm of life in Marlborough. She tells herself she must forget about Samuel and leave him in the past where he belongs. With the help of her new friends, she does her best to move on, focusing instead on the success of her and Flora's antique shop.
But there are still things waiting to be found, still injustices needing to be put right, still voices whispering to Xanthe from long ago about secrets wanting to be shared.
While looking for new stock for the shop, Xanthe hears the song of a copper chocolate pot. Soon after, she has an upsetting vision of Samuel in great danger, compelling her to make another journey to the past.
This time she'll meet her most dangerous adversary. This time her ability to travel to the past will be tested. This time she will discover her true destiny. Will that destiny allow her to return home? And will she be able to save Samuel when his own fate seems to be sealed?

In Brackston’s pleasing follow-up to The Little Shop of Found Things, her supernaturally gifted heroine, Xanthe Westlake, goes back to the early 1600s, where she finds her lover under threat from a mysterious and powerful stranger. Xanthe and her mother, Flora, in the present, are working to make their small antique shop in Marlborough, England a success. But their efforts are put on the back burner when Xanthe, who has the power to sense the historical life of items in the shop, hears an antique chocolate pot singing to her and has a vision of her former lover Samuel, who she met when traveling to 1605 in the previous book, being imprisoned. The revelation pushes her to return to the 17th century, following the chocolate pot to a chocolate house, where she learns about the persecution of Catholics and dissenters. She also learns that Samuel is in the custody of Benedict Fairfax, a local aristocrat who knows more about Xanthe than she expected. As she tries to free Samuel, Xanthe becomes embroiled in the political turmoil of the time and fears she might not make it home—or perhaps even want to return. Brackston’s vibrant story is on firm historical ground, with period details woven in nicely. While the plot is less propulsive than the first book, Brackston’s majestic time-swapping romance will please fans of Alice Hoffman.
