BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Faith Holland left her hometown after being jilted at the altar. Now a little older and wiser, she’s ready to return to the Blue Heron Winery, her family’s vineyard, to confront the ghosts of her past, and maybe enjoy a glass of red. After all, there’s some great scenery there….
Like Levi Cooper, the local police chief-and best friend of her former fiancé. There’s a lot about Levi that Faith never noticed, and it’s not just those deep green eyes. The only catch is she’s having a hard time forgetting that he helped ruin her wedding all those years ago. If she can find a minute amidst all her family drama to stop and smell the rosÉ, she just might find a reason to stay at Blue Heron, and finish that walk…
REVIEW:
This was a great story. I enjoyed the story very much. The character of Faith is so funny. She is snide, sarcastic, quick witted and really just an enjoyable character. Levi is a little brooding for me but I still liked him.
I enjoyed the background characters probably as much as the main characters. I liked how the story was not started and finished in a matter of a couple months. Their story started back in elementary school in a way and has taken twenty years to progress. I also liked that even when Faith comes back to town it is not “love at second sight”.
As I said I liked Faith (mostly). I liked how she was strong willed and had such a great sense of humor. I didn’t like how naive she seemed to be. Seemed like she was so easily deceived or maybe it was just that she was oblivious to the obvious. And Levi, well again as I said he was a little too brooding for me. He is a diamond in the rough type of guy and while I liked him I would not put him as one of my favorites of all time.
It is actually hard to tell you about the story without telling you some of the surprises of the story so I won’t. But I do think if you enjoy romance novels this is certainly one to read. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.
* The bathroom scene alone is worth reading this book for. I was laughing so hard!
