I appreciated the way they each took turns looking out for each other and growing together, and that she wasn’t the emotional handler for everyone. Brent’s bi-awakening was handled sensitively, and Evan’s own history seemed to fit the queer culture he represented.

A ménage with so much heart...
Yes, I’ve read all of the Wardham books but you don’t have to to appreciate this story. All of the “feels”are here. I love that all of the characters have a self discovery. The biggest thing I like about Zoe’s books is that they are so realistic I could swear it’s a true story. There’s nothing like falling in love, and we get to experience it with Jess and Brent and Evan, sigh.

i picked this up based on a rec from author Felicia Davin (and also had it on my waaaaay back list) and I'm so glad I finally read this marriage in trouble turns into a happily-poly-ever-after.
Jessica and Brent Doran are divorcing; they were high school sweethearts and married quick and young. Their marriage was not working. Now Jessica wants to make Brent jealous so enlists the help of new to town wine connoisseur and vineyard owner Evan West. Evan is older, sophisticated, and Jessica assumes he's gay. Evan in fact is bi, and also gets hit on by Jessica's ex-husband at the gala bar. Uh oh.
While this sounds SO SO SO messy, instead the author crafts a completely sexy and delightful warm hug of a romance that shows how Jessica and Brent needed to find out what went wrong the first time, heal, and realize they both have fallen in love with Evan, as both a couple and as themselves. As for Evan, who doesn't believe in HEAs, seeing him find his future with these two was also just so tender and satisfying.
York doesn't shy away from some of the tough conversations about how their relationship will be seen in the town and I'm delighted to report all is well for our lovers.
Super hot, super fun. loved it.
