A Vineyard Love focuses on two events, the wedding of Amanda and Sam, and the opening of the Aquinnah Cliffside Overlook Hotel by family friend, Kelli. Katie Winters always concentrates on the importance of family and friends, but this day tests everyone's belief in true love. The plot was great and the mystery of disappearing goods from hotel rooms and, more importantly, a disappearing groom, really captured my interest. I love the unexpected in story lines, and this one was wonderful.

What a ride!

I am exhausted after reading this book. I feel like I ran every mile and zoomed up and down every stair with the Sheridans and Montgomerys on this crazy wedding day.

You are in for a wild ride of unbelievable chaos as expensive items go missing along with the groom! Is he responsible for the disappearances or did he just get cold feet?

Read on to find out.

Hopefully I’ll get my review done before the page arbitrarily closes by itself! This is a really great read—I couldn’t put it down. The storyline is amazing; the characters are really well developed; the plot twists and turns are off the charts…and will keep you guessing at every turn; and Ohmigod the HEA is absolutely fantastic! You definitely need to get a copy of this book asap…and read it cover to cover. It’s so awesome! (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and absolutely loved it!!) ❤️❤️❤️

A winner in the series filled with romance, intrigue, mystery and revenge. Amanda is headed to the altar again, this time to marry the love of her life Sam. The wedding is scheduled to be held at the newly rebuilt Aquinnah Clifside Overlook Hotel. Kelli has been overseeing the renovations and opening. When expensive jewelry, a painting, and the chef’s special knife come up missing, Kelli questions her sanity, and her ability to manage the hotel. Trusted employees might not be so trustworthy after all.

When the wedding rings come up missing, and Sam can’t be located, Amanda fears she will be left at the altar again.

Can love triumph? Will the mysterious crimes be solved.

Thank you to the author for this ARC. This review is my honest opinion.

I was beginning to get annoyed with Katie Winters’ lack of editing & attention to detail over the last few books.

But this book takes the cake. Last book in the series (#15) Steve meets a detective name Rina. Two chapters into this book (#16) she is being called Rita! How do you not get this correct?

There’s a lot of grammatical errors, spelled words in her books - why aren’t they being edited carefully?

And my pet peeve is the way she portrays people in their 60’s as old & feeble. Case in point was a description of a woman a few books back as “although she was in her 60’s, she was still quite sharp”. Seriously?!? Does Katie Winters not know people in their 50’s’s, 60’s & 70’s? Does she realize we all still work, travel, run businesses and in general are “with it”?

Amanda's long awaited story! What a fun read - especially trying to figure out what was happening at Kelli's new hotel! Such drama and it made for a fast read. I was happy Amanda still got her wedding and happy ending. Was really nice to see all of the familiar faces in all of Katie Winters' stories - Wes and Beatrice, Lola and Christine, Susan of course and Audrey and Max. Now I need to read about Audrey and Noah's wedding next - although won't rule out some more babies! Love this series!

I definitely loved this book, but glad I never experienced the stress that Kelli and Amanda did! It is amazing that Katie Winters can weave a story about family, love, doubt, chaos, jealousy, and revenge. It makes the reader want to never stop reading until they find out what happens! I have to admit I was crushed at times thinking of what was happening and how I misread some clues! Great entertainment! Always, love to meet my old friends as their characters appear in Winter’s novels!

The Grand Opening of the breathtaking Aquinnah Cliffside Overlook Hotel was off to a shaky start for Kelli. Missing items, obnoxious guests, and delivery issues. What else could go wrong? Most importantly the wedding of Sam and Amanda is being held there and poor Kelli is extremely stressed. Will Amanda get left at the altar again? This excellently written story will answer your questions while you can’t stop turning the pages. Way to go, Katie.

this book continued the story of the other books in the series, and thankfully I have already come to like the characters and their stories. the writing in this is poor. the author often puts characters names in a conversation they weren't even part of, and had spelling mistakes like wedding player instead of wedding planner. overall the story had a good story line..just poor writing and editing.

A Vineyard Love is book 16 in the Vineyard Sunset series by Katie Winters and another great addition to this series.

A wedding for Amanda and Sam, the opening of the Aquinnah Cliffside Hotel by cousin Kelli, missing goods, chaos, family, friends, a disappearing groom, maybe a haunted hotel and more…read on to see how it ends..

I have been enjoying this series. I did want to point out that the woman who is a private detective is named Rita in this book. In a previous book, her name is Rina. Your editor needs to do a better job.

not my favorite

Had a name mix up Rita for Rina. Dropped a big cliff hanger at the beginning then took a long time to get to the point

As Amanda and Sam were planning their wedding, things seem to be moving Kelli and Xander are also slightly ahead of time on getting the hotel ready for a soft opening. Amanda was assured that everything was going to be perfect for her wedding. However, at the precise time Amanda was to get married, she discovers that Sam is missing. Is this a repeat of her past or something more deviouso
