Book 2 is amazing I really enjoyed the slow burn between Jeff and Zach. Jeff arrives at the winery for training and when he spots Zach he is in love but Jeff interrupts at a not so good time for Zach.
I am so excited to read this series and I highly recommend the series.
I really enjoyed this story. It sort of tugged at heart strings and was a sweet read. The characters especially Jeff – so glad he got his HEA. Age gap romance are always enjoyable but this has been one of my faves in this trope recently read.
I love these sweet stories even if they are short. They are full of love and laughter, no angst and the perfect read for someone that wants a quick love story that melts your heart and just makes you sigh with contentment.
This was a fantastic, sweet, delightful, charming, grab-you-by-the-feels, poignant, sexy, adorable, engaging, endearing, lovely, tender, and totally awesome story. I really enjoyed reading it, and would definitely recommend getting this marvelous gem for yourself.
This book was a sweet short read with amazing characters. I love how Elle builds her worlds and the way that she can pace a story so that it’s neither too fast nor too slow. I highly recommend this book, especially if you’re looking for a short read that is full of great characters and amazing love.
4 stars. Sweet, low-angst novella.
Damn, what great chemistry! And then not. And then again!
Struggling winery owner Zach and clumsy intern Jeff have a steamy hookup when they first meet, only to both realize what a not-good idea that is (and thank you for touching on the problem with bosses sexing up even consenting interns). The book then skims over the next 2 months of them working together and yet avoiding each other, but it’s unclear just how they managed this.
I loved the parts of their relationship that showed up on the page, I just wanted more of it. The brief look at Jeff’s mishaps wasn’t enough, especially after that final calamity (Jeff is NOT made for the winery business, big time). As it stood, Zach just seemed to calm down way too quickly.
This is Book 2 of the Home in Hollyridge series, but Jeff’s HEA with grumpy sweetheart Zach delivers a lot of warm fuzzies as a stand-alone. However, read book 1 first if you want more insight into Jeff’s backstory; it definitely raised the satisfaction factor of Jeff and Zach’s romance for me.
Copy received for an honest review.
This was really cute short read for me. Jeff recently came out and his family disowned him, Zach owns a vineyard. Zach hires Jeff to work at the vineyard. They have great chemistry, fast moving story. Enjoyable read!
I am voluntarily leaving a review form an ARC that I received from Gay Romance Reviews. My reviews are solely based on my thoughts and opinions.
If you want a sweet, in more ways than one, angst free summer read and let’s face who would turn that down this year? Then this is it!
Jeff wants to be a vintner, but his forte is numbers. Zack has the winery and it’s in trouble because of the numbers and shenanigans with the ex. Match made in heaven. Throw in a cute lovable protective dog and you have Love Vintage Blend. Well worth a read.
Jeff was finding himself in the previous book and moving to Hollyridge. This is the short story about him and Zach. A May December romance on a beautiful vineyard. The attraction was instant so very low angst but lots of loving a a few bumps on the way. I am enjoying this series. They are lighthearted and sexy.
