Synopsis:  Left on bended knee, with nothing but a ring in his hand and a gaping hole in his chest, Ivan Rusilko lost everything when Jaden Thorne said, "I can't."Now, six months later and despite her endless attempts to reach him, finding forgiveness for Jaden's indiscretion is last on his list of things to do. Dr. Ivan is married to his career now, and his professional success is taking him places he's never been before. But even the glow of accomplishment can't heal his devastated heart. Determined to recover, to move forward at any cost, he now finds moments of respite in distractions that leave him emotionally bankrupt. He's empty, a shadow of his former vibrant, life-loving self. On the outside, he may seem to be the man he always was. But inside, a terrible desire threatens to rip him apart and ruin him forever.Meanwhile Jaden is haunted by the memory of the moment she saw the light wither and die in Ivan's eyes. She knows it died at her hand. After months of trying to explain herself, of begging for mercy, she takes herself back to Miami, back into Ivan's path, for one last chance at redemption. Can she entice him back into her arms? Convince him to give her a second chance? She's determined to do whatever it takes to find forgiveness--even if all that's left is forgiving herself.In this final book of The Winemaker's Feast Trilogy, The Winemaker's Dinner: Dessert, author Dr. Ivan Rusilko is writing solo, drawing freely on his own life and love experiences to craft a heartbreaking and wildly erotic tale about lost hope, desperation, contrition, and--if it's possible--the quest for a perfect ending to a real-life love story. True to its title, Dessert serves readers an indulgent, decadent last course, rich with twists, turns, and tantalizing truths.Love is beautiful, guys like this really do exist, and the power of real romance is something we can all believe in.Review:I was just recently introduced to this series, and (1) I'm glad I didn't have to wait for each book & (2) Wow! It has well developed characters that have flaws, dreams, misunderstandings, pride, ego,desperation, lust, and love.  You really get a male perspective to heartbreak.  There were times I really wanted to just scream at Ivan & Jaden (each for different reasons).  I know from the synopsis that Dr. Ivan took from his own life and wonder how much of it's true to life.I truely enjoyed this series and saving the best dessert for last.
