Synopsis: Caterina is one of four Bonavera sisters who inherited a winery. She had ambitions to open a restaurant in NYC and become one of the top Chefs. When things didn't go as planned she had to move back to the winery and with her sisters.
Deciding to build her own restaurant on the winery property she meets Liam, the stubborn, hot headed, but attractive building construction contractor. Caterina and Liam have a first instinct to dislike each other, but will that be all? Will the family accept that?
My thoughts: This was one of those good feelings books. This is the first I've read of the Bonavera sisters novels, but with just reading this one, I look forward to reading them all.
This novel was full of love, laughter, family, food and mystery.
Caterina's character is strong, with a no nonsense vibe. She wants to find love, but she views cooking and family as her heart. When she meets Liam, it is immediate chemistry that she perceives as dislike on his behalf.
Liam is a strong willed single parent to a little girl who has had to overcome a great deal of sadness and anger in his life. Due to this, he is afraid to let just anyone in and around his daughter.
Over time however, the chemistry between the two becomes overwhelming and undeniable.
Patricia Paris did a wonderful job putting this little feel good novel together. She left the mystery until the perfect time, she let the love unfold, and gave a happy ending. I will definitely be looking forward to seeing what else she comes up with, both within the Bonavera family and outside it.
I cannot say enough good things about this novel and will recommend it with joy as a feel good book of the season.
Stars: 5!
