'Will they become partners in wine…or just another pour decision?
Maggie Moore is many things—creative, caring, throws an excellent party—but cautious isn’t one of them. Juggling her new event planning business after her picket-fence dreams fall apart, the last thing Maggie needs is to let her impetuous heart be in charge. Especially when it’s blindsided by Sunshine Cellars resident grump and his sassy daughter.
Kel Adams is as skilled at bottling up his emotions as he is a pinot. Running his best friend’s family winery wasn’t his life’s dream, but Sunshine Cellars is the perfect place to forget his former job and the picture-perfect family he almost had. Instead, he is determined to focus on the only things that matter—his daughter Olive and the vineyard.
But when Kel and Maggie keep crossing paths, he can’t resist her sparkling charm and rosé-colored view of life. Maggie is intrigued by Kel’s complex notes and the soft heart he hides behind his gruff exterior. Opposites may attract, but will their budding relationship turn into sour grapes, or a delicious red blend?
Pinot Promises is book 1 in the Sunshine Cellars series. This single-dad, opposites attract, steamy rom-com can be read with or without your favorite glass of wine. Sunshine Cellars features small town vibes in the big city, heroines you’d want to have brunch with, and cameos from your Mailbox, Inc. favorites!'
This is the first book in Fancy's brand new series called 'Sunshine Cellars' and if this book is anything to go by, than I for one can't wait to read the rest of this series. This first installment is gripping and a great grumpy secret cinnamon roll story, with the added bonus of no third act break up scene.
This story consists of 23 Chapters plus an epilogue and tells the story of Maggie and Kel. Though with the amount of background characters you are introduced to, reader are sure to fall in love with everyone they meet in this story. As well as a few familiar faces from the Mailbox Inc series.
Now Maggie is an event planner, who also seem to court problems (according to her family) I just think she seems to have some bad luck. Maggie is also reeling from a few things that happened in her personal life that takes time. Whereas our male lead Kel, is the complete opposite of Maggie. He is a single dad to a gorgeous little girl and is working on a vineyard. He is a grumpy character but very much a secret cinnamon roll.
From the beginning of there story these two characters are attracted to each other, even if one needs saving and the other seems to be saving everyone. As with many romance's communication between the main characters is not brilliant but its more from the characters personalities than any miscommunication. Maggie is an oversharer and would talk anyone's ear off, whereas Kel wants to talk but he doesn't know how to start the conversation.
Now there is a few steamy scenes to note within this book and provide the reader with enough steamy to keep them very satisfied. There are also hints of other scenes, but those are either interrupted (not in the way you think) or mentioned the morning after. So it is not steamy all the time but enough to keep the reader happy.
Overall I enjoyed this book and can't wait to see where the rest of the series goes. This reader has an idea of who might be the focus of the next book but will be waiting patiently for the announcement of book two. Overall an easy read that was enjoyed immensely.
Until Next Time
