Very good book. Twist at the end that you never see coming. Very romantically set in Italy and California wine vineyards. Would love to see this one made into a movie just to see the Italian Villa in real life!!

Roberts abandons her seemingly endless trilogy formula here for a stand-alone novel that deals with murder, betrayal, industrial espionage, and plenty of steamy sex set against the background of a wine-making empire that sprawls over two continents and three generations. Good read.

Sex, scandal, and the lives of the extremely wealthy make this romp through California's vineyards an unforgettable one! Lots of romance and suspense.

Nora Roberts is a great storyteller. She tells the story of 2 families merged together to protect their family from the villains who kill and try to destroy the wine industry of the two families together. A love story develops between the vintner and the business manager for the company. Both do their best to deny their feelings until another death brings them back together. Closer than ever. So interesting how the story and affair develops. Good read!!

Tereza Giambelli is the matriarch of a family renowned for their wines. Her husband, Eli MacMillan, owns the neighboring winery. Tereza and Eli have decided to merge their companies together and want the next generation to take over the reins. Tereza's granddaughter, Sophia Giambelli Avano, and Eli's grandson, Tyler MacMillan, will now work together to learn every aspect of the business, so they can take over in the future. Some family members and employees are upset by the announcement. They believe they should be next in line to head the company. This leads to back-stabbing and murder.

I shouldn't have waited so long to read this romantic suspense book by Nora Roberts. Even though I thought it was a bit bloated with descriptions of the vineyards and the things that go into making wine, I loved watching how the news of the merger impacted the many family members who work for the company. When someone turns up dead, there were many suspects to weed through. On top of that, we had two very interesting romances in this story. My rating: 4 Stars.
