Blurb

A beautiful vineyard. A new beginning. A summer that will change their lives forever...

Linzi arrived at Green Valley Vineyard nine years ago, in need of a fresh start. In the lush emerald countryside and ripening grapes, she finally has a place to call home.

But Linzi's world is rocked when the owner announces he is retiring, and his grandson is taking over.

When Elliot Montgomery first sets foot at Green Valley, Linzi's worst fears are realised. He's stepped straight out of the boardroom in shiny shoes and a tailored suit. How will a numbers man like him ever understand the magic of what they do here?

Elliot has his own demons, carrying the grief of his father's death. Despite their differences, he has come to the vineyard for a new beginning, much like Linzi once did.

As the summer unfolds, Elliot and Linzi find themselves in an uneasy alliance while old secrets threaten to be revealed.

Could more be about to bloom here among the twisting vines than they ever thought possible?

An absolutely charming summer read that is perfect to escape with. Fans of Karen Swan, Phillipa Ashley and Sarah Morgan will be absolutely enchanted by this tale full of love, friendship and the beauty of winemaking.

My Thoughts

This was truly an enchanting, whimsical and enjoyable read. I have read a few books from the author before so i knew I was in for a treat. 

It is true when then they say opposites attract. Both Linzi and Elliot have different vibes and personalities and you  may not have put them together. But as situations play out they find commonality and likeness between them and I loved reading that. As you route from them along the way.  I can imagine not many people warming to Linzi but it was good portrayal of a person who has there walls up after enduring alot. To my surprise Elliot was more on the gentler side.

We do get some hints of backstories about Linzi which at times can get a bit confusing but it isn't too much. There are a few other characters in the book which can dilute the story at times as you want to stay focused on the main characters. 

You don't get too many surprises in this book and it is a slow burn romance which is nice. You can tell this is well researched book that make the atmosphere and descriptions ooze off the pages and it is  just perfect. 

The author has one again pulled at the heartstrings with both sadness and love!
