SEASON VINING is a romance author, penning adventurous and sexy stories with a dash of humor. She grew up in southern Louisiana where food, culture, and family mean everything. She has lived in Cincinnati, San Diego, and NYC—all of them providing colorful experiences and tons of writing material. She is a graphic designer by day, a complete font snob, and enjoys all forms of art. Her obsessions include live music, tattooed bad boys, vintage cars, and people who know the difference between their, there, and they’re. Season currently lives in Texas with her husband, daughter, and the hungriest corgi that ever lived.
Avery Daniels had been safeguarding herself from the heartbreak she'd already experienced. Her "I-don't-do-relationship" persona was nothing more than a facade, a shield carefully constructed to spare herself from the haunting trauma she had once witnessed. For Avery, the simplicity of no-strings-attached arrangements worked perfectly—no emotions, no hurt.
On the flip side, Sundia sought approval for the life choices she made, particularly from her parents, with a special emphasis on her father's opinion. Both of these women were grappling with their individual demons, each hiding behind a self-erected wall. Yet, love had its own agenda, and it became evident that Avery Daniels was no longer off-limits. Her gradual fall for Sundia was beautifully portrayed.
This narrative unfolds as a tale of self-discovery, featuring two well-crafted main characters. The palpable chemistry between them resonates throughout the story. Avery's character, in particular, stands out with its complexity, providing a compelling contrast to the more straightforward Sundia. The well-drawn members of Sundia's family contribute significantly, adding a crucial angle to the overall plot.
In essence, it's an endearing read that delves into the journey of self-discovery, showcasing the intricacies of two captivating protagonists. The chemistry between Avery and Sundia is palpable, making this a delightful and memorable experience, in my opinion.
Sundia was on a cooking show where she personally flopped, but a star chef is interested in working with her so off she goes. This could be her last chance to prove she has something worth contributing in the food arena. The chef has a right hand in Avery and they become roommates. Slowly the walls start to come down and the two work together so well, with deep feelings and entertaining situations. The storyline is delightful and one I plan to reread again.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
What a wonderful written book. It is about two woman who in my opinion are perfect for each other but both hide behind walls they have built. Reading the story of Avery and Sundia was enjoyable. I just loved everything about this book. I am definitely going to be reading more by this author. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I loved this one by Season. Sundia and Avery are made for each other if only they’d break down the walls they’ve built up. A fun read, the secondary characters were fantastic especially Sundia’s family.
Quirky and fun, this book was full of witty repartee, very likeable characters and reference to some irreverent moments. Great storytelling from this author.
Avery Daniels is a ‘one nighter’ sort of girl. Sundia doesn’t want only one night - she wants romance and everything that goes with it. All the hand holding, dinner and flowers. Sundia goes for an internship at world famous Chef Delgado’s restaurant where she meets Avery again. Avery is a very closed in person, she never shows her true self. There are a lot of insecurities here, hidden behind a facade of indifference. Sundia wants to know Avery, wants to know everything there is about her, but she is worried about getting hurt, and she is not willing to compromise her ‘only one night’ view for anyone - or so she thinks. Avery is hard to understand - this is a part of her character, but still she is worth understanding. Under everything she is a loyal, giving person. Sundia is very much a fun loving character but also a hard worker, very well written. Her sister, Meera and her family are such great fun, nothing like you would expect from a typical Indian family. This is a very well written story, but sometimes I feel as though it is written for a younger audience than me. I would recommend this to anybody.
