One thing that I love about all of Renee Carlino's novels is that each story is realistic and has amazing character development. Another thing that I have noticed about Renee's character's is that they are always on a pursuit to self discovery. This approach always allows me to truly connect with the characters. I learn a little history about each character that way I can connect with their present and follow right along with them on their journey.Nowhere but Here is a story about a man and a woman finding love when they were least expecting it and overcoming the obstacles life throws in your way to have your happily ever after.Kate Corbin is a reporter that lives in Chicago. She is in a relationship with a man that lives in her building. No the outside Kate's life seems comfortable and complete, but on the inside Kate knows that there is more to her life that what it seems. Those who really know Kate have realized that she is living her life in a clouded haze, she has lost the light in her eyes. The problem is that Kate has been unwilling to explore the reasons why. Everything around her is becoming affected, but no one would notice unless they really knew Kate. She is submitting mediocre articles and seems content. That was until her boos took a gamble and assigned her a leading interview with the reclusive R.J. Lawson, who is a wealthy tech genius who has fallen off the face of the Earth. Kate eagerly agrees to the assignment and heads to Napa Valley. Kate was warned about how closely Lawson protects his personal life, but nothing could have prepared her for is closed off, rude demeanor he portrayed during the interview. Kate was at a loss. She had no idea how she would be able to work with that man when he was so unwilling to cooperate.The employees were very close lipped about R.J. Lawson and gave very brief nondescript answers about who he is. The only person that was the most informative was Jamie, a vineyard hand. Jamie is incredible and Kate is completely taken back by him. She cannot believe that such an amazing man can work for a person like Lawson. However things are not how they seem. As Katy becomes more acquainted with Jamie he becomes very evasive, but Katy is starting to look at life from a different perspective. Was her life in Chicago worth going back to? In her mind she thought of course it was, but her heart was beginning to guide her down a new path. This relationship is new to both Katy and Jamie. They are getting along extremely well, but something is missing...learn what it is by reading Nowhere but Here!
