Overall I enjoyed the book and was invested in the characters. I didn't like how quick and neat the book ended though. There was some big stuff there that just got glossed over or waved away like it wasn't all that important and then everything was fine. ( )

more mystery than romance which is sometimes better with Nora! ( )

Enjoyed learning more about the wine making business through a romance book that had multiple love stories as it involved 3 generations although Sophia as a main character was the least realistic. The added attraction of the murders helped to keep the story interesting although there were so many characters that the beginning got confusing. ( )

It amazes me that anyone with a brain can read this and consider it good literature. I am delighted that I learned speed reading in high school so that I was able to finish this piece of trash in less than a day and get it out of my house. The plot is convoluted, the characters are stick figures (with one exception), and the setting is so overused and common as to be laughable.

This so-called novel has nothing to recommend itself and is a waste of paper. ( )

Take a mesmerizing trip through the vineyards of Napa and Italy as the amazing Nora Roberts delivers yet another exciting, sensuous and fantastic tale of love, murder, revenge and family.
