“Scolding and arrogant, the Englishman was dangerous to a woman’s heart, but with a grin crinkling the side of his eyes, he was devastating.”

I quickly dove into this historical romance about a young woman with a passion for port, doing everything she can to keep her vineyards. Both Julia and Griffin are lovable characters with natural flaws. Griffin, a British immigrant, seems like a pompous ass on the surface, but buried underneath this high society attitude is a gentle, caring soul. Julia is a headstrong Portuguese woman who acts with passion. Her impulsiveness is, at times, a danger to herself.

As soon as they meet, the tension surrounding them is as thick and sweet as cotton candy, becoming even more delectable as they learn each other’s true identities. Against their better judgment, they become familiar with each other, making excuses to spend time together. They kiss, but maybe it was a mistake, or maybe they should kiss more…their bodies and minds at war with themselves. Let me tell you…when Griffin “teaches” Julia the proper way to ride a horse 🔥

I was blown away by the author’s ability to transport me to another country in another century. Her descriptive vernacular put the rich, sweet taste of port on my tongue, warmed my skin with Portuguese sunlight, and lifted the hairs on my arms with a breeze off the Douro.

For those of you who love historical fiction, romance, wine, and learning about other cultures READ THIS BOOK!
