A review by hookedbythatbook
Three Days to be Ruined by Giovanna Siniscalchi

5.0

Boyd’s thirst for revenge didn't stand a chance against his fascination with Beth. 

Right from the start there was this anticipation simmering just beneath the surface and Beth and Boyd were a volcano waiting to erupt. Who knew tasting wine could be so… stimulating. That thin thread of tension was broken occasionally by amusing interludes, such as the bear fountain in the garden and Reggie (sorry, Reginald).  

Boyd’s expectations of his "winemaker wife" got progressively more ridiculous and Beth embraced each challenge with determination and vigour. There were also many small actions that showed that Boyd was very much taken with Beth, even if he didn't acknowledge it to himself. 

Some of the other characters from The Winemakers series featured very prominently and even got their own chapters, but it's not necessary to have read their stories first. 

You would not say this was a novella. It certainly didn't feel like one. We got to know Beth and Boyd quite well. They did fall in love very quickly, but the magic of the writing and the story made it seem like the most natural thing in the world. Things were very intense between them from their first meeting, so, of course, there could be no other outcome. 

I can recommend this book and the others in The Winemakers world if you like steamy historical romance. 

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
