Immediate 5 stars! I have no notes, there is nothing I’d change about this installment in the Nash Brother’s series. This is my new favorite Lisa Suzanne book! I love a marriage of convenience story. One or both parties need to get married to solve a problem and that’s definitely the case here. Buckle up, because it’s about to get messy…

Grace has been running her family's winery, Newlywed Vineyard, her entire adult life. She grew up there and has a real love for the work and community it brings. Her sister on the other hand is always looking for the latest and greatest. For the last two years, she’s been dating Minnesota's wide receiver, Spencer. They’d been engaged for a while, but Spencer was never super interested in setting a date. After he gets traded to San Diego and they break up, both sisters discover that the vineyard will be left to the grandchild who 1. Gets married first and 2. Stays married for a year. Gracie’s not about to let her sister take over the vineyard. In order to get ahead she sets off to ask Spencer(yes, that Spencer) to marry her… in vegas. As you can imagine, things go awry. 

This story was done so well. I’ve read my fair share of “whoops we got married in Vegas and don’t quite remember it” books and this is by far, without a doubt, the very best one out there. EVen in the moments where logically, you should be rooting for the sister, you just can’t help pulling for the couple in the story. They are just so clearly meant to be together. They complete each other so well, while yes, they are capable individuals separately-Spencer with his football career and Grace who’s been running the family business for years-together they are perfection. 

The Nash Brother’s series, and for all intents and purposes, I include Coach(even though Good Reads doesn’t), is some of Lisa Suzanne’s best work. I don’t know what’s so different about this new era, but it’s a hit. There’s not a ton of sports in this romance-I’m not complaining. But it more so deals with the dynamics of Spencer being traded to a new team.
