I decided to try this series and this author because I really enjoyed Susan Mallery's series about the Marcellis. I thought this might be similar, it was, but not nearly as interesting. I liked Penn, and the sisters and brothers seemed ok. But... Eh. Just not enough. After reading several reviews I decided to skip finishing after seeing a lot of people unhappy with the ending.

well so it was... it was...
well I don't remember the book! I read it a year ago and even with reading the two other book of the series I couldn't remember a thing about this story! so I guess that didn't impact much in my brain. I usually remember a thing or two i found cute or funny... here? nada, nothing, rien.
so non memorable read here. a quick light useless chit-lit book. perfect for a summer day at the beach.

I wanna make this short, I am so tired today for some reason.
Right, so I read book 2 first I think, then book 3 and at last book 1. Don't say anything ;)
I wanted to read about Alessandra since day 1. The Nun of Napa. She was sweet and kind. In a way there was not anything special about her. Except for that her husband to be died 15 min before their wedding and the whole town has tip toed around her ever since. Mourning is one thing, but being the living memory of him and no men looking at her is another thing. As I got to know her, I felt sorry for her.
Penn is a bit full of him at first, I wanted to smack him over the head (yes I do love to do that ;). Quite a few times actually. Truth be told, I never truly warmed up to him. I did not feel all gaga over him.
I did rush the end a bit as it took a 3 days to finish the book (just not enough time). I did not like it as much as the other books. And I think that if I had read this one first I would not have gone for the rest. Still it was good, just not special.
I liked it, but it could have been better

It really deserved 3.5 stars. Good story but the beginning was confusing.

This was my first book by Christie Ridgway. It was a fast read romance set in a winery. The secondary romance was also very interesting. I did not like the part where Allie thinks that saving her winery is more important than her friend's HEA.But other than that the characters were new and story engaging

Another allrounder book by Christie Ridgeway, it is a sweet, emotional, romantic and sexy comedy.

Known as the "Nun of Napa" Alessandra Baci has her fair share of tragedy in her life, the final straw is the possibility of losing her families winery if she cant make it into a wedding destination. With her builders ready to walk out, Alessandra feels her hopes slipping away.
Television sensation Penn Bennett has never seen a woman who has evoked sensuality, curiousity, and manipulation all rolled into one until he lays eyes on Alessandra. Watching her he knows two things, he wants her and he nneeds to run out of town to get away from her just as fast. He is not sure what has happened when he hears the words coming out of him offering to help her when she desperatly needs it, he only knows he is in major trouble with the "Nun of Napa" by his side.
This was hilarious, I was cracking up through out. Christie Ridgway writing style reminds me of Jill Shalvis a bit. You have the three Baci sisters and your fair share of side stories that keep you wanting more of this book. A fabulous read.

I really enjoyed this and I'm glad Ridgway has started a new series. I can't wait for the next two books to come out.
