Words cannot describe how I am feeling about this book right now. I just finished it this past Friday night and I can honestly say that I cannot wait to read it again. I'm going to save you guys the rant today about my opinions on the new "in" literature and get straight the the review!We meet Kate, a journalist who is living a pretty bland life. We see the inside of her job, her friends, her boring boyfriend and the we get a small glimpse of her past when she talks about her mother and Rose. We are introduced to a pretty simple character that has flaws and a rocky past just like every other human out there.Kate is sent off to Napa to get an interview with a man that is well known but very off the radar and he has finally agreed to give Kate this interview for a Chicago newspaper. While there she meets this wonderful man named Jamie who slowly opens her up to exciting things and teaches her about a different lifestyle. While she is staying in Napa for this interview she slowly starts spending more and more time with Jamie and becomes interested in him and begins to fall in love with him. Things soon change for Kate when Jamie picks up one day and leaves without an explanation and she is left to go back home to Chicago and figure out everything that happened between them on her stay.This story is wonderful and while everyone should know by this point that I am usually the first one to rage about insta-love, what surprised me about this book, was how much I loved it. This was a light, wonderfully fun story that I recommend to everyone who has every had an interest in any romance novel or you're just a sucker for sweet stories. I loved this because the Kate and Jamie were believable, they had realistic characteristics, there was no brooding alpha male and it was different. To me, the plot was kind of predictable but it did not take away from the story and I am still happy with the story as a whole.[...]
