I thought this book was cute and it was definitely an easy read. I liked the fact that we weren’t dealing with barely 20 something’s and dealing with established adults. I also loved how Hallie was curvy and it was mentioned in the book but not something that was driven home because it wasn’t the most important thing about her. But there were some things that I felt were added that didn’t add to the overall story. Like Hallie being a virgin. That didn’t add anything at all to the overall progression of her and Julian’s relationship. The same thing could’ve been achieved if she had been with two partners or twenty. I also don’t think that writing secret admirer letters is as big of a bad thing as it was made out to be.

Hallie is a the chaotic owner of Becca’s Blooms whose had a secret crush for the last 15 years. And now that the crush is back in town, sending him a drunk secret admirer letter seems like the obvious choice.
Julian is a college professor who is ruled by strict times and schedules. He comes back to Napa, to the family vineyards, to take a reprieve from teaching to write a novel. One that keeps getting interrupted by an annoyingly intriguing gardener.
I really liked the banter and the “dirty talk” but I felt like the story lacked a little bit of the depth that I really wanted from it.
Overall solid and I’ll definitely read the next installment in the series.
