When you fall for your crush, it's a whole other cluster 🍷💕

Every woman with a pulse knows who Rhys Trenton is. Influencer sensation. Global icon. A serious piece of man candy living the celebrity dream in his palazzo on Corfu. In no legitimate universe should the golden path of my social media crush ever cross with mine.

Except it does.

I’m Dani Rialto—jobless and vulnerable after a failed workplace romance shattered my confidence. When a prestigious winery offers me a dream marketing gig, there’s just one tiny problem. The new spokesperson for their rosé is none other than the free-spirited Rhys. And he lands in my sleepy wine town for five weeks to do whatever this buttoned-up career girl says.

Listen, I can play it cool. But after an embarrassing start to our working relationship, it turns out more than grapes can thrive in the heat. As a surprisingly complex Rhys melts my inhibitions, his fame sparks unexpected chaos, forcing us both to challenge our guarded hearts that, like the finest vintages, can only breathe when we open them up.

I really enjoyed the Hustler series and had to see what this book was all about.
My Grape Crush is a contemporary romance and the first instalment in The Trenton Troublemakers series. Troublemakers indeed! Let the chaos, magic, mayhem, and madness begin.
Set in a small town where opposites attract, the chemistry between the characters is smoking hot. The banter and playful rivalry make for a more enjoyable read.
Dani and Rhys are well-developed, wonderful yet complex characters. There is much to forget and forgive from the past. Dani must face her crush head-on and act cool, but will he be enough to put her heart back together? Rhys is the man of the moment; he is adored by everyone, which complicates any potential relationship. Yet he is determined to pursue Dani—his heart truly knows what it wants.
Overall, it is a great read, and I highly recommend it!

An Evocative and Heartfelt, Emotionally Moving Tale of Love and Overcoming the Past

Rowan Rossler, what can I say except you now have a fan for life! This is my first experience with reading one of Rossler’s books, and I am absolutely smitten. The way she painted the picture of Dani and Rhys’s love… chef’s kiss… It felt so stunning and real. I swear I was watching this play out on a movie screen and not just reading a book. The way that Rossler was able to put the words together on paper and evoke that feelings, emotions, and imagination of my brain is something that few authors have the talent and ability to achieve. I am 100% a new-found fan and will be reading everything I can get my hands on by her! Dani has been burned and is trying to rise from the ashes of losing her job and her boyfriend in one fell swoop. Rhys is tired of running from his past, but doesn’t know how to face it or move forward. This love story gripped my heart so tightly that I could not sleep until I read the whole story! This book is laugh out loud funny with unexpected twists and turns that lead you to some of the most heart-wrenching moments. This book tore my heart apart and put it back together all in the space of a few hours. If you love romance with a sprinkle of spice where the plot will blow you away… Look no further! Go read this book now!

In the age of social media, it’s easy to form crushes on influencers. But what happens when you become the temporary boss of you crush for 5 weeks.
Does one keep it professional?
Or are all bets off?
That’s what Dani’s dealing with through the first half of My Grape Crush. How can she remain professional when the guy standing in front of her is gorgeous. Well she tries to find ways to keep icing Rhys out and pushing him away. However he keeps doing things that impede those efforts. It’s not easy when the chemistry and tension between Rhys and her is off the charts. But she’s not good enough for him. She’s not good enough for anyone. Little does she realize how wrong she is. And how much of an idiot her ex boyfriend was.
Rhys on the other hand, though he is an influencer he’s an introvert. He hates the publicity he gets, he hates the fans closing in on his space. He has no where is his heart for any real relationships, or does he? When he meets Dani all that changes in his eye. This girl is different. She’s not throwing herself at him and she’s beautiful. What more could a guy ask for? But can he bust through her barriers, while keeping his brother away. Promoting the wine will be easy, working with Dani will be another ballgame. It’s just a matter of if he can get her to join him.
So much going on but the author brings a wonderful romance to that could be so much more!
The author made Dani relatable. In ways you may have felt you were friends. Which are my favorites, whenever you get a book that has romance and is relatable, outside of celebrities status, it makes for a wonderful story.
A promising beginning to a new series!

Dani is in charge of marketing for a big winery. They have hired a big internet sensation Rhys to be the spokesman for their newest wine, Pink Perl. Dani has been fantasizing about Rhys and his lifestyle for awhile all due to his internet popularity. Now he is on the same property with her. There was a big mishap on their first day meeting each other after he finally arrived on the property. Rhys decided to come to her cabin to ask for some coffee creamer and let’s just say he got to see Dani in all of her glory. From what he non neither can keep their minds off of each other. But is it a good thing to mix business and pleasure and would it ever be more than anything other than just a fling?

This book is so great!! It hooks you in super fast and you can't help but laugh at some of the characters and the things that happen and their banter back and forth. This book is about an influencer (Rhys) and a creative director (Dani). Rhys is hired by a prestigious winery to be the spokesperson for their rose. Problem is he's Dani's social media crush. And she has him for five weeks! How is she going to survive especially after an SUPER embarrassing meeting over cream, a door that was broken but isn't now, and did she maybe break his nose?!. LOL (you HAVE to read it! SO, SO funny!!). They both have some things to get over, past and present. Can they open their hearts and challenge each other to thrive? Or will they let past failures get in their way? If you love a good romance with a lot of fun and some wine then this is the book for you! It's so good that I stayed up late a few times to keep reading it. LOL. I can't wait to read more in the series!!

Loving the colours of the cover !

Dani is vulnerable after a failed romance but a prestigious winery , owned by a quirky and dynamic woman that’s a force to be reckoned with ( in a good way ) makes her an offer she can’t refuse and it is just what she needs and gives her the boost she needs both on a professional and personal way 🥰 but having burnt her fingers not to long ago she’s determined not to mix business and pleasure again but Rhys and his easy manner is really hard to resist 😉

Rhys is a reminder that famous people are just that , people , they also have dreams , fears and insecurities just like us and I think that’s why he’s so attracted to her , she sees and treats Rhys as Rhys and that’s refreshing 😉

Being in the company of Rhys , Dani and the others had me laughing out loud more often than not especially when he went or look for creamer 🤣🔥🙈these people really are good for the soul and people you want to friends with 🥰

You know you’re in for an epic read when it grants you within the first chapter ❣️📕

A real sweet and price and all things nice kind of read that I want to share with anyone and everyone 🥰📕

I feel like I learned so much in this book. I live in the PNW and didn’t really realize there was such a big wine scene in Canada or that there were deserts! This story follows Dani and Rhys. Dani recently lost her job and has been given an amazing change at marketing for a winery and its new Rose. Rhys is an influencer who spends most of his time in Greece but is the new spokesperson for the winery and it kicks off the Rose. Dani and Rhys have a few uncomfortable stumbles in their first meetings but they are both trying hard to keep things professional. Dani has had a crush on Rhys for years but doesn’t want him to think she is fangirling. Rhys is happy to have the quiet and peaceful weeks at the winery. The sleepy town becomes overrun when the ladies learn Rhys is at the winery and Dani is working on keeping him safe. We meet a lot of winery owners, small town folks, Rhys’s suit type brother, and Dani’s blogger-turned-mom sister. I liked the story, the characters, and the setting. It says it will be a series and I am looking forward to read more in this world.

This is a great start to a series. I wasn't sure what to think going into this book. I fell in love with the cover and that intrigued me. I normally don't read a book based on the cover but this one spoke to me. I think it is the colors and then add in the fact that it has grape in the title, was even more intriguing. This book has everything you would want in a contemporary romance. There is the steam, the push and pull between characters, and a little office romance. You can't really go wrong with all of these combined. This book was a quick read but I read quickly. However, you will find yourself not being able to put it down because it is written really well. You will feel the growth of the characters and their struggles throughout the book. This deals with workplace romance and the struggles that happen with that but there is more than just that. It takes a look at the wine business and what can happen when an influencer comes to a small town. I can't wait to read more in this series. I feel like this is going to become one of the series that I re-read every year.

I fell so in love with this book!!! The cover instantly had me intrigued and the title sealed it for me. This book has it all, between the crush on an influencer, contemporary romance, and spice! This is the first book of the Trenton Troublemaker Series, I'll have to read the rest in the series. This one was that good! The characters in this book are amazing and the way they describe them and you can fell their emotions through the writing. This is a quick read but it's a great story and I couldn't put it down!! There is so much growth and twists and turns that happen in it. It will keep you hooked! She's trying to move on from a bad relationship, finds out she has to work with an influencer and pretends she's never heard of him and that he doesn't effect her. Then you have him whose going through a lot and feeling broken and struggling with things and challenges. I mean he is an influencer that has to come with some stress, right!? The side characters really help make the story even more and their humor is great!! You've got to jump into this book and see it for yourself!

This book was everything!

It gave me all of the feels, all of the giggles, all of the spicy anticipation, and all of the joy and stress that come with a great book.

Dani and Rhys are both going through their own journeys, but their connection is instant. I don't want to give anything away because their journey IS the fun here, but let's just say this story is satisfying in every way, Including the bumps along the way.

The story moves quickly and I loved it. There was never a lull, never a moment where things weren't a little crazy or a character wasn't growing and developing. Every single precious inch of space was used on these pages for a purpose.

This book is a perfect mix of lighthearted with some heavy undertones. This would be a perfect vacation read, a cozy rainy day read, or a "just because I want to feel something good" read.

Looking forward to reading about what the rest of the Trenton Brothers get themselves into.

Overall: highly recommend
Spice: open door

My Grape Crush is the first book in The Trenton Troublemakers Series, and latest release, by Rowan Rossler. It is a fun contemporary romance with a small-town setting, opposites attract, a little forced proximity, workplace romance elements, humour, family dynamics, the highs & lows of fame, sweet feelgood story, sparks, chemistry, spice, angst, drama, and emotion --- all blended perfectly into an entertaining read.
Sun. Fun. Wine. Spice.
Dani Rialto takes on a fresh start after getting her heart broken, beginning with a new job as the marketing manager of a small-town winery. She soon discovers that her celebrity crush has been hired to promote the wine. No problem. She can keep things professional. Right?
Rhys Trento is a social media hit, the celebrity influencer really seems to have the perfect life. But Rhys has worked hard to build this life for himself- and there is more to him than his ‘fame’. Sparks fly when he and Dani begin working together- with things heating up rather quickly. But will these two lower their defences long enough to give love a chance? And what of the highs and lows that fame can bring? If you love romcoms, opposites attract, smalltown settings, and sweet connections- then you really should grab a copy to discover how everything plays out in the end…
As expected from Ms. Rossler, the characters were developed superbly, they were really easy to connect with and I quickly found myself invested in them and the outcome of their story. This book was not only fun, but the spice, emotion, and more dramatic elements were beautifully blended for a richer, yet fun, reading experience.
Needless to say, I’ll definitely be devouring the rest of this series as each new instalment releases.
Happy reading!

Thank you, Rowan Rossler!

My Grape Crush is the inaugural entry in The Trenton Troublemakers series, introducing us to Dani Rialto and Rhys Trenton. Dani, reeling from a career setback and a failed romance, lands a dream marketing job at a prestigious winery. The twist? The winery's new spokesperson is none other than Rhys, a global influencer and her long-time social media crush. Set in a quaint wine town, their worlds collide, leading to a tale filled with chaos, magic, mayhem, and, of course, romance.
The chemistry between Dani and Rhys is intoxicating. Their banter is sharp, playful, and often laugh-out-loud funny. Rossler masterfully crafts their interactions, making their evolving relationship feel authentic and deeply engaging.
Dani is a relatable protagonist—resilient, witty, and navigating the complexities of love and career. Rhys, while a celebrity, is portrayed with depth, revealing vulnerabilities that make him more than just a pretty face. Their journey of confronting past wounds and embracing new beginnings is both heartwarming and compelling.
Rossler's prose is vivid and evocative. She paints scenes with such clarity that I felt transported to the sun-drenched vineyards alongside the characters. Her ability to blend humor with emotional depth is commendable, ensuring the narrative remains engaging throughout.
My Grape Crush is a delightful blend of romance, humor, and heartfelt moments. It's a testament to Rossler's prowess in crafting stories that resonate deeply while keeping readers thoroughly entertained. Whether you're a fan of contemporary romance or just looking for a captivating read, this book is a must-add to your collection.
Cheers to a story that's as refreshing and delightful as a chilled glass of rosé on a summer day!

This was a great romance filled with so much. There was laughter, fun, amazing chemistry, crazy anticipation and 2 people who are dealing with their own journeys and outlook on love and romance. The author did an amazing job of making the characters realistic and likeable. I couldn't help but feel invested in their story. All this set in the backdrop of a vineyard creates the perfect setting for a summer romance. I could imagine sitting by a pool and completely losing myself in this book

Dani Rialto has had her heartbroken by a man she thought she could trust but not just any man. He was also her boss, so after losing her relationship she also lost job.
Desperately needing a new job and a way of escaping she finds herself taking a job as a marketing manager for a winery. She loves her job however when she finds out that the person hired to promote their new product is Rhys Trenton Dani knows she will struggle. After all Rhys is the one man she crushes on but she knows she has to remain professional this time.

Rhys has arrived to promote the new wine. He doesn't do romance only one night stands and even they end up being the worst thing as he always seems to attract crazy people. When he meets Dani he can't deny the attraction is there but what is holding her back. Does she assume he's just a player like he is portrayed to be? Or is something deeper holding her back?
With the chemistry between them off the charts will they both let down their guards and take a chance or will past mistakes hold them back from something that could be real?

This story has a sweetness about it, though I wouldn't categorize it as a sweet romance. There is definitely some steam/spice. There are a few laughs throughout. Both main characters are good people. She's trying to move on from a bad relationship with a new job in a new location. He is a little broken from his past and is there for work. He is confident yet also a little lost. The side characters bring in extra laughs. Her character confused me at times. She was a fangirl of his long before they met for work, and she was nervous to meet him in person, but then like she acted like he was just another person and all that 'heart in the eyes' feelings were gone. There was still that physical attraction, but it was like her crush on him never existed. There were also a couple moments that confused me in regards to their behaviors. Like they suddenly they went from happy to sad or angry and I didn't understand what caused the change. I don't know if it was the writing or just me not understanding the scene. Overall it's a good story though and I enjoyed reading it. The sexual content it there, but it's written a little mixed... somewhat vague at times, but more detailed at other times. Almost like a mix of smut and clean. I would say it's suitable for older teens and up. It alternates POVs.

Sweet and spicy romance with all the emotions!!!!

I was intrigued by the book's very first pages when Dani introduced us to Rhys. He is an influencer who has reached celebrity status around the world. Now, he is going to be the spokesman for the winery where Dani works. She is also very honest. Dani has a massive crush on him, but she is determined to keep those feelings in check since she has recently landed this job! She hadn't counted on Rhys's flirtation with her. As they spent more time together, their chemistry blurred the lines of their working relationship. 

I loved both Dani and Rhys. I loved their banter, and their chemistry was electric. While there are elements of a rom-com, some heavier issues pop up in both of their lives concerning family issues for him and a past issue concerning Dani's old job. Those issues blended very well with the romance to make this a romance with substance and emotion. 

My Grape Crush is the first in the Trenton Troublemaker series, and I look forward to reading the next book. If you like a good, spicy, small-town romance with all the feels, you can't go wrong with this book.

Dani is taking her life in her hands, starting a fresh after a disastrous relationship fail, she is looking at new challenges, she would never one such challenge would be internet sensation Rhys Trenton. He is totally in a different league but when she feels the sparks fly does she want to engage in another office fling or could this be the one.

Rhys has worked hard for his career and being a global influencer everyone wants a piece of the pie but when he is asked to join a Winery and become the spokesperson for their new Rose wine, he cannot say no. Although when he arrives, he spots Dani and when they instantly have a spark all bets are off and he needs to get to know this beautiful woman.

This is not the first book I have read by Rowan and will be the last. All her stories offer a great insight into the characters and with the charm of the main character Rhys you are drawn in from the first word. The flow of the book is great and the story telling is charming and light, with the secondary characters adding to the overall story.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and see what magical world she can evoke in my imagination.

I have enjoyed many different books by this author, and I’m glad to add another to that wonderful list! The perfect blend of sweet and spicy, this story offers readers a delightful escape into the world of opposites-attract romance. Set against the sun-kissed backdrop of Corfu, this novel is a delightful ride through the complexities of love, fame, and personal growth. The author’s writing is full of witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and characters that feel both relatable and aspirational. Rhys and Dani are a wonderful duo—her cautious, reserved nature playing off his laid-back, larger-than-life persona. Their journey is an exploration of vulnerability and trust, and the slow burn of their relationship makes for a truly satisfying read. If you're looking for a romance that’s equal parts heartwarming and hot, this book delivers in spades. It’s a perfect summer read, brimming with charm, humor, and just enough heat to leave you thirsting for more. So, grab a tea and a cozy blanket, and dive into this irresistible love story.

My Grape Crush: A spicy small town opposites attract romance (The Trenton Troublemakers, Book 1) by Rowan Rossler. Oh my lanta, I loved this book and I love this author. I can't wait to read the next book. This is the story of Dani has just lost her job and her heart. She did something she swore she would never do and that is mix business and pleasure. She is offered her dream job as a marketing manager for for a new winery. She can't believe her luck. When she starts her new job she is surprised to see that her celebrity crush, a popular influencer has been hired to promote the winery. Rhys has become very popular due to his social influencer job and he is a playboy. He's a wild guy who doesn't believe in the drama of relationships. But when he sees Dani sparks fly. Dani has had a crush on Rhys for a while but she is not going to dare try a work/relationship again. Rhys has never felt this way over a woman and he's not about to let her go. Will they be able to work things out professionally and personally? Read this great opposites attract romance to find out!

My Grape Crush: A spicy small town opposites attract romance (The Trenton Troublemakers, Book 1)

As soon as I saw Ms. Rossler had a new book I knew it was a must read for me after enjoying her first series as much as I did.

Dani is starting her new life working for a winery after her previous boss ended up damaging her career. She gets a famous influencer Rhys to do an ad campaign. After a less than ideal introduction Dani and Rhys feel the attraction almost immediately.

Rhys is the youngest brother and the one with the rocky relationship with their Dad. He left home at fifteen and never looked back, that is until he ends up back in Canada.

Canada has been high on my list of places to visit for a long time, and hope to get the opportunity to not only see the big cities, but also the little hidden gems similar to Osoyoos.

I fell in love with each of the brothers, but there is something about Sawyer that has me intrigued.

Dani just had her life pulled out from underneath her by a cheating ex. The ex just unfortunately also used to be her boss. So Dani started a new life. It was going well.

Until he arrived. Rhys Trenton, social media influencer currently being paid by Dani’s new employer and Dani’s long time crush. Dani knows that she can’t fangirl all over Rhys. She does her very best to be professional. But then hijinks ensue (a broken ac and the hottest weather snap) and Dani finds herself accidently exposed.

Dani and Rhys react to the chemistry that can be felt for miles. Then the world conspires to end them. An old ONS stand of Rhys’ shows up. An ultra competitive brother adds fuel to the flames. Some misunderstandings abound. A despicable ex trying to bring Dani down. An ailing father with a broken relationship. So many obstacles for them to overcome.

A wonderful, heartfelt story with the spiciness one expects from this author.

With her heart broken and no job, Dani needs to find a new place to work. When she takes on the role of marketing manager for a new winery. she doesn't expect her celebrity crush being the person that has been hired to promote the winery. However, she has done the workplace romance thing before and she will not do it again!

Rhys is a celebrity influencer that doesn't do relationships...one night stands are enough drama sometimes. But, sparks fly with Dani and he wants to see where it can go. But...she's holding back, too. Can these two find out what could be before it's too late and the job is over?!?

I enjoyed these characters...and the setting. As a winery girl myself, I was pulled right in. You've got a broken heart, the craziness of being an influencer, a budding romance, and two people dealing with their own lives trying to make room for someone else....it's such a great combination! This is the first book a new series...so I will definitely be checking out future books!

This book has everything: wine, romance, and an influencer; what could go wrong? My Grape Crush is a great romance story, and the first in a series covering the Trenton Troublemakers. In this first book, we get to meet the Trenton family, Rhys being our primary character, along with the winery's marketing guru, the gorgeous Dani. Rhys is a famous influencer who is on site to help promote the winery. Dani is the lead over Rhys, helping to bring an amazing marketing dream to life. Neither has had the best of luck in the romance department in their lives, but can they navigate a budding romance while still being able to remain professional enough to get the job done, or will one or the other be too much to juggle? This is a great story that navigates the complexities of relationships and the troubles that exes can cause when scorned. I love that this is going to be a series and cannot wait to read Sawyer and J.C.'s tales as well.

*My Grape Crush* was such a fun and easy read — exactly what I needed. It’s the first book in Rowan Rossler’s new *Trenton Troublemakers* series, and I’m already looking forward to the next one.

The story follows Dani Rialto, who’s trying to bounce back from a messy workplace romance. She ends up in this charming wine country town, only to have her fresh start complicated by Rhys Trenton — a ridiculously attractive influencer who’s basically the face of the winery’s new campaign. Oh, and did I mention that Dani has a crush on him? Their banter is great and I couldn’t stop reading.

The vibe is very light and playful, but there’s also a good amount of heart. I really liked Dani — she’s smart, relatable, and grounded — and Rhys totally grew on me. Plus, the small-town setting made everything feel cozy and binge-worthy.

If you're into influencer drama, sweet-and-sexy romance, and a little wine-country escapism, definitely give this one a shot. I’m in for book two when it drops!

My Grape Crush was such a fun, emotional read. I really enjoyed the connection between Dani and Rhys — their chemistry is off the charts, but it’s the emotional layers that made their story stand out. Dani’s struggle with self-worth and Rhys’s quiet, introverted nature made them feel real and relatable. I liked that they both had baggage, and watching them slowly let their guard down felt genuine.

The pacing was great — no dragging parts, and every chapter moved the story forward. There were definitely a few moments that felt a bit too convenient or predictable, but it didn’t take away too much from the experience. I also appreciated that the spice was “open door,” but never over the top — it added to their relationship rather than distracting from it.

This book is a great mix of heartfelt and lighthearted. Perfect for when you want something romantic with just enough depth to keep you hooked. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what the other Trenton brothers get up to next!

My Grape Crush is the first book in The Trenton Troublemakers series! What a great start to this series and I am so excited for more to come. Rowan Rossler did a great job on Dani and Rhys story and really sets the scene for more books!

After a failed workplace romance, Dani finds herself jobless with no prospects. When she gets a call from a high end winery to offer her the dream marketing job. The only issue is that the spokesperson for their new rosé, Rhys, is a global icon and influencer sensation. Rhys has always been known as the shallow man candy living the celebrity dream. When he gets into the sleepy little wine town the first impression was very embarrassing. Dani seems to mellow out from being so buttoned up and Rhys seems to be more complex than what the media has led on. These two go through the ups and downs of what fame can do to people.

I really enjoyed this heartwarming romance which was both sweet and spicy. Opposites definitely attract in this story and I was hooked throughout. Dani is still getting over a failed workplace romance when she is offered her dream marketing job at a prestigious winery. The only possible complication is influencer sensation and global icon Rhys Trenton who is the spokesperson for their rosé, and Dani’s social media crush. Dani is determined to stay professional around Rhys although he doesn’t make it very easy for her, and even she can’t deny their obvious chemistry. Both the characters and the setting were brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel fully immersed in the story. The chemistry between Dani and Rhys sizzles off the page and I loved their flirty banter.

This is a great romance to read on a hot summer’s day with a glass of chilled rosé!

Such a cute read! Dani Rialto is trying to mange the marketing at Nero Vino vineyards. Not that long ago she was dumped by her no-good ex that promised her the world. Of course, that was over as soon as a younger and hotter reversion of what he wanted came along. So, she sank her heart into some designs for the wine she was drinking to forget. The Owner, Evelyn Maclaren fell in love with the designs and snatched her up at just the right time. Enter Rhys Trenton, a famous influencer who has been hired to help promote their latest wine called the Pink Pearl. Only thing is that is not the only pink pearl that Rhys wants to get his hands on. Can he last Five weeks being around Dani and not fall for the goddess he thinks she is. Or will the gods and goddesses have other plans while they play with grapes.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she now has a new fan. This is the first book of the Trenton Troublemakers series and I was addicted. These characters will hook you right from the beginning. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing story. I can’t wait to see which brother she will write about next.

Dani Rialto just had her heart broken as well as her job. She is asked to do a marketing job with a winery and she accept with no question. Dani finds out that her celebrity crush is the spokesperson for the wine that she is marketing. She has this handsome man with her for five weeks. Dani was not expecting Rhys to get real feelings for her. She doesn’t want her heart broken once again and they are from two different worlds. Will Dani find love again or is she too broken?

I’m a sucker for a good romance and this one certainly didn’t disappoint! With it spicy opposite attract romance and beautifully set in corfu you will find it near impossible not to be hooked in.
When I first started it I found Rhys to be alittle mysterious he’s holding something back and you just really want to figure him out. He’s worked hard to where he is a Global influencer and when he gets an off to be a spokesman for the winery he can’t say no and then along comes dani…
Dani is a very likeable character with her starting a fresh after her horrendous relationship fell apart but then along comes Rhys who is complete opposite while she’s more reserved he’s laid back and he certainly works on getting her out of her shell.
The writing of this book is addictive I found myself able to visualise all the beautiful scenes and the storyline between Rhys and Dani was captivating I wasn’t disappointed and I’m certainly very excited to see what comes next from this author!!
