Secretly Yours is the first of a two-part A Vine Mess series about Hallie navigating her secret crush on Julian when he returns to town for the first time in four years. The romance was solid and at times swoonworthy (though I thought the spice in the book was a bit much). I enjoyed Hallie and Julian as MCs and I liked their character development throughout the book, especially with addressing Julian's anxiety in the book. Plus, you get a sneak peak into the MCs for Bailey's next book in the series, Natalie and August, and I am looking forward to the sequel.
I listened to the audiobook version on Audible and I thought that the audiobook version was good. Callie Dalton does provide a nice narration to the story and her pacing was solid. Though, I think she could improve on creating distinct voices for each of the characters (specifically for the male characters).
Nevertheless, I think Secretly Yours is a cute rom-com worth reading. If you want to read a rom-com set in beautiful vineyards or a romance full of pining and a relationship years in the making, I definitely would recommend this book.
