Enjoyed this sweet sports romance with high school friends Brooke and Billy. They shared one unforgettable kiss at the end of high school and ten years later they meet again when he swooped in and purchased the winery she was about to buy. Loved their interactions and the way she denied her feelings for him until she could no longer hide the truth even from herself. Wonderful read.

This was a great addition to the series and I enjoyed reading it. While this is the second book of the series, you should be able to read it without getting confused if you didn’t read the first one. I read a later book first and became intrigued with the series, town and the residents.

Billy Turlock is coming back home to Starlight. He is a newly retired MLB pitcher who has to retire early due to the multiple injures and surgeries on his pitching arm. His grandfather, “Pop”, has a “secret recipe” for making wine. Since Billy LOVES his family, he buys a defunct vineyard in the area of his hometown for his grandfather but neither know how to run a vineyard!

Brooke Miller works for a local vineyard. She has been secretly dating her boss. She isn’t the marrying kind and fears that her boss may propose to her during the party that the vineyard is throwing. He has been promising her a promotion to VP of Sales and she is looking forward to that motion. Unfortunately for Brooke, George the vineyard’s owner, proposed to Brooke’s young protégé! Brooke is livid, she has a drink too many and makes a scene at the party. Now she is looking for a job. She decides to purchase the defunct vineyard just outside of town. That is, until the “golden” boy of baseball comes home and buys it out from under her!

The story is one that I loved reading. There is a spicier version out there but sometimes you just need a pure romance story without the sexy scenes.

I would recommend this to anyone. It was also written in my favorite dual POV format. This helped to fully understand the characters.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Maria Michaels; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

The first 50 ish pages I was bored and I thought I would never get through it. I am glad I kept going. At one point I was slightly mad at Brooke (he did go quite fast) but they eventually figure it out and it all works out in the end. It did have about 5 curse words which was different than the first book.

Sweet book

I didn't realize that I had this book in my kindle tbr mountain when I read another book in this series. They can all be read as a stand alone and are clean Romance. So if you are looking for personal growth, romance, and a clean storyline this is for you.

Bailed as soon as I saw this book was altered to make it “clean and wholesome…” For fuck’s sake, why didn’t you include that on the blurb and save me the download! 🤨
