Serves Me Wright by K.A. Linde
3.0
As the author so rightly states in her Author's Notes, this was a nice story about nice people.
I enjoyed this low angst story with likeable main characters, who although struggling at times with difficult situations or medical issues, weren't bad people needing redemption.
Jennifer is a photographer who specialises in elopement photography and is about to branch out into more artistic portraiture. She has struggled for many years with crippling social anxiety and because of a bad experience with a past boyfriend, feels the need to keep her illness and medications secret. She has been secretly crushing on Julian Wright since they first met a few years ago, but thinks her introverted personality would never attract the gregarious and popular Julian.
Julian is the co-owner of the Wright Vineyard and has been given the responsibility of setting up important distribution contacts for their new business by his elder brother. His ex-girlfriend tried unsuccessfully to ruin the vineyard and so they have broken up. We find out that she doesn't accept the breakup and is bitchy and vindictive.
This is a fake-dating story with unrequited love and friends to lovers tropes. Jennifer is contracted to work at the winery to photograph their events, and she has a good, friendly working relationship with Julian. Julian has a run-in with his ex and kisses Jennifer in front of her. Later he proposes a fake dating deal where he will act as her boyfriend in front of Jennifer's judgy mother on a trip home for her brother's graduation, and she will be his date to a work event planned by Julian and his ex that he can't get out of.
Told in dual POV. We discover that Julian actually wants to date Jennifer for real, but doesn't know how to ask because she seems so shy. All the while Jennifer is second-guessing everything because of her low self-confidence. A few miscommunication dramas and some family secrets keep the story ticking along while the two MC's figure out how they feel about each other.
The only real downside to this book was the number of secondary characters. There are soooo many people in this book, all in different relationships with obvious backstory. This book is part of a series with its own HEA, but I would have enjoyed it more if I'd read the other books first.
This book contains descriptive love scenes.
