Good story. Stilted writing
Interesting premise but simplistic, uncreative writing
This book has curse words, takes God’s name in vain, adultry, and gay overtones in one relationship. I do not like books that use these kinds of things. If you don’t either, then don’t even bother starting to read it.
The author is incredible, characters are so captivating and the plot is so interesting.
Great author, great series.
Can’t wait for more.
I was actually disappointed with this story. Violet, although growing up in the foster system, seemed rather naive. For someone who ran a winery after her husband dies. It seemed she didn’t grow from all those encounters. It seemed she always lived for the winery and what Kenton and his father wanted. She even refused to marry the man she truly loved latter in life because of the winery and her promises. It felt like to me that she cared more of what dead people thought and that translated into not raising her daughter with love.
