Margot Noble owns a winery with her brother in Napa Valley. She’s always working to ensure the business is successful, but she doesn’t get a lot of time to relax and have fun.
Luke Williams is back home in Napa to help his best friend rebound from a bad breakup while also running from a job he hated in the tech industry. He needs a release so heads to the local bar where he happens to meet Margot. One thing leads to another and the two have a fun night. Unfortunately, through a lot of interesting coincidences and mishaps their fun start can’t last! Can they recover that original spark?
I enjoyed this one well enough because I liked both main characters. They each had their flaws, but they genuinely cared about the people in their lives. A Napa winery was a good location for a romance and I loved the strong female empowerment vibe. I liked the strangers to lovers trope, but miscommunication is one of my least liked tropes. I just wish some other plot devices could have been used to sew the discord and get to our resolution. It was fun and cute, but at the same time not anything new.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an arc to review!
