I absolutely love this author; her first two books literally stole my heart and left me anxiously awaiting her next work. I couldn't wait to dive into this one, as I love her writing style, and the descriptive way she puts the reader into each scene/place. She definitely accomplished that in this trip to Napa Wine Country; I felt like I was right there with the characters, and it was beautiful.I always know when an author has been successful in creating characters, when I as a reader have strong feelings and opinions about them, as it lets me know that the author has brought them to life, both as individuals and and a couple. Both Jamie and Kate have insecurities as it relates to trust, family and their careers, so it's is no wonder that they were connected to each other immediately. I really loved Jamie, and I truly understood his fears and reservations with sharing his life and having it on public display. I really had a hard time connecting with Kate; she had a level of immaturity, which often lead to a rush in judgement and actions, that were a bit premature. I often could not understand her apprehensions and fears; but I had to remember that she did not have the type of family support and love that children get growing up, and that greatly affected her. I was glad that we got to experience the entire progression of this relationship; the highs along with the lows.I really enjoyed this story, and loved the whole premise of it; it was fun hearing from Will and Mia, that really made me smile. I will continue to seek out this authors work, as I adore her and will devour anything that she writes. Please Renee, keep them coming!flag
