This one is a cute and enjoyable way to wrap up the Beautiful Bastard series! While my favorite couple wasn't featured heavily, seeing everyone from all the previous books in their HEA was like cocaine for my soul.
Needing a breather after finding her ex with another woman in her own bed, Pippa accepts the invitation to join her friends Ruby and Niall (from book four) and her New York friends on a wine tour vacation. At the same time, Hanna (from book three) convinces her newly divorced brother Jensen to come along. Surrounded by couples, Jensen and Pippa are paired up for the trip, and after a series of crazy coincidences, they begin to fall for one another as the days go by.
Jensen was a bit bland, but really he was just... tired. The divorce was unprovoked and sudden and his whole world became monotonous days and nights centered around his job. The more time he spends with Pippa, the more he starts to remember the days when he was fun and wild and lived life to the fullest. Pippa is always down to have a good time but is still a little bitter and peeved about her ex. As she spends more time with Jensen and things get intimate and hot fast, she begins to wonder what her life could be if she took a risk and opened her heart again. But as the vacation ends, neither of them are sure what will happen once they part ways and go back to their old lives...
My favorite part of this book was the ending chapters, a series of epilogues featuring your favorite couples as a last hurrah. A slower read than the others in this series, but a beautiful ending all the same.
