I never made it to the sweet part.  The heroine's dad dies and leaves her a vineyard worth a fortune.  They have not been on speaking terms so she attends the funeral pissed at the world.  She stays pissed at the world till I quit reading.  She has an ex husband that ruined her financially, cheated on her, you name it.  But she has to be nice to him because he is her son's father! Really?  As the story goes on you have no idea why she is so pissed with her father, I lost sympathy for her.  She left as a teenager so she was probably a big part of the problem. Plus the parents divorced, always a reason for the kids to hate one parent, and the mother is as bitter as the daughter.  Too much hate and discontent for me.The hero, Nico, lives on the property and runs the whole thing. He and her father were close.  He should have left the property to him and wrote the bad seed off.  And on and on it goes.  At 16 she was "in love" with Nico and he at 18 didn't pay a lot of attention, so she still holds that grudge over 10 years later.  Good grief these people need a life.  I quit reading, a heroine with no brain or spine is just too much for me. Get this, she is going thru her father's desk, a locked drawer that she cannot get in.  The key is probably in his bedroom but she won't go in the room because it was his!  Really?  Ok, so she finally kicks the drawer and it pops open, she finds two letters, one addressed to her and the other to Nico.  Does she rip it open to read it, NO, she puts it in her pocket to read later, she has a meeting to attend!  R U KIDDING ME?  She hasn't seen her father for over 10 years, she is pissed at him, and she doesn't want to know what he has to say?  I just can't buy that.  Maybe it was just to hold the suspense but it just pissed me off.  Maybe it gets better but I didn't want to risk my time to find out.  This one was just not for me.  I want to feel good when I read a story, not depressed and this one definitely depressed me.  Sorry.
