THE CRUSH (A WINE COUNTRY ROMANCE) BY HEATHER HEYFORD
Release Date: October 25, 2016
SYNOPSIS
In the first of Heather Heyford’s new series, set in Oregon’s Willamette Valley wine country, the grape isn’t the only source of intoxication . . .
RISKY BUSINESS
Juniper Hart has her dream job—or rather, her dream job has her. Under Junie’s management, the winery her late father started is finally getting noticed. But she’s lonely, deep in debt, and overwhelmed with work. Even if she had time to date, the only men she meets are smug,
stemware-breaking hotshots like Lieutenant Manolo Santos, whose good looks and smooth charm don’t half make up for the sour taste he leaves on Junie’s palate.
After years as an army engineer and a childhood in a restaurant kitchen, Manolo can see Junie’s winery is about to go sideways—and he’s bursting with ideas to help. Except Junie’s far too magnetic for comfort. He left New Jersey to escape becoming one more Santos man shackled to a captivating woman and a failing family business. But in the misty hills of Oregon, with a sip of supple Pinot on his tongue, pulling away is the last thing he wants to do . . .

REVIEW: THE CRUSH (A WINE COUNTRY ROMANCE) BY HEATHER HEYFORD
The Crush by Heather Heyford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Crush reminds me of a watercolor. The vibrant colors, the vivid energy and the emotional connection are a work of art that speaks to the reader. There is a sexiness and flavor that is abundantly clear from the word go. Junie is a woman that has an emotional bond to wine. Her late father owned a winery and she wants to honor his memory and prove to herself that she can keep his dream alive, despite the odds. Her pride won't settle for less than success. Manelo, knows a thing or two about flavor. His background makes him an asset, but his arrogance makes him an aggravation in Junie's eyes. Opposites attract but can these two work together without combusting? A robust story that blends spice, sass and lots of pizzazz.

REVIEW: THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR (BILLIONAIRE BAD BOYS) BY JESSICA LEMMON
The Billionaire Next Door by Jessica Lemmon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The best description for Tag would be "Gentle Giant". He not only was large in stature but his capacity for love was a driving force behind his identity. Ms. Lemmon dropped clues to his heart with his devotion to the family business and his drive to make his mark by finding success in his division. His tenderness to a woman with hang ups about sex and trust. The care he took of a dog in distress. His interactions with the people he cared for and his propensity to never give up. It was obvious that this man was a nurturer with more than just a large pocket book to offer. So why was he the last to realize how special he really was? That was a trait that he and Rachel shared in common. The moment he started calling her "Dimples", I was a goner. The Billionaire Next Door is a sensual delight that makes for a enticing romance a reader can really sink there teeth into.

Somebody Like You by Lynnette Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another keeper has just been added to my e-reader favorites category. Anyone who follows my reviews knows that I have a fetish for small town living. The close knit communities, the busybodies and the friendly atmosphere always draw me to these types of stories. Somebody Like You had all the draws I look for in a story and changed up the dynamic a bit when an undercover celebrity stops in for a spell. Annelise has a life many would dream of. Her wealth has opened many doors for her but has put a limit on her need for a life outside of the spotlight. She longs for freedom outside of her fast paced life, he wants a chance at lasting happiness without stipulations. Annelise and Cash both want the same thing: "The chance to be happy. How much will they risk to make that dream into reality? A winning combination.

REVIEW: LUKE BY (7 BRIDES FOR 7 BROTHERS) BARBARA FREETHY
Luke by Barbara Freethy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Luke is a story of missed opportunities, wounded relationships and prideful behavior. All of these actions have played a part in the rift that exists between the powerful yet dysfunctional Brannigan family. Barbara Freethy begins this series with a story that is as therapeutic as it is heartbreaking. Colin Brannigan was not perfect and his actions had a profound impact on his Heirs. Facing his own mortality seemed to get him to look at the damage and in death create the legacy he was unable to rectify in life. The chance for his family to find happiness and absolution from the pain that he wrought upon them. Barbara Freethy was the ideal lead in for this spellbinding series. She knows how to appeal to emotions and get a reaction.
