Recommendation
I absolutely adore Renee Carlino’s writing. I fell in love with Kate the minute I started reading. She was so sad and lonely and, according to her boss, had lost her spark. She is sent to a winery in Napa to interview it’s elusive owner. Before pulling into the property she literally crashes into the man of her dreams. Jamie is not only sexy, he’s smart, sweet, works hard and makes it impossible for Kate to not fall for him. I loved how Jamie took the time to make Kate fall for him. While it happened in just a few days, he really showed her who he was…or so she thought. [July 2014]
Publisher synopsis
A Chicago reporter in her mid-twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius.
Kate Corbin has lost her spark. From the outside, her life seems charmed. She has a handsome, long-term boyfriend and a budding journalism career at a popular Chicago newspaper. But in reality, her relationship is going nowhere, and she’s quickly losing motivation for what she once believed was her dream job. When her boyfriend dumps her unceremoniously, Kate loses all hope of finding love.
With no living family and few friends, Kate confides in her boss. Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, he gives Kate the opportunity to jumpstart her career. The assignment: to interview the famously reclusive R.J. Lawson, a wealthy tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as a Napa Valley vintner. The week takes an unexpected turn, however, when Lawson refuses to divulge any information. Desperate for a lead, Kate turns to Jamie, a vineyard hand who shows her the romance of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. But his connection to Lawson is ambiguous, and when Jamie disappears before the end of the week, Kate is left to investigate another story: the truth behind the man who stole her heart.
