About this listen
Romance and fine wine both need time to breathe....
Her family’s successful winery business in the Finger Lakes region of New York should have gone to Tessa Price. She’d always dreamed of running the winery, but when the “prodigal son” returns to take up the reins, she boldly strikes out on her own, purchasing Sand Creek Winery - a cash-strapped competitor - right out from under her family. She can forge her own destiny, using her marketing skills and big plans to bring new life to the winery. But first she has a proposition for the sexy previous owner. And he’s likely to hate it.
Kevin “Max” Maxwell would never have willingly sold his winery to anyone named “Price". Family always comes first, and if paying for his sister’s cancer treatment cost him his business, it was worth it. But when the new owner offers him a one year contract to stay on as general manager, with a possible bonus, he really can’t afford to turn it down. He can ignore the effect her deep brown eyes and heart-shaped face have on his senses for a year, can’t he?
Relationships, like slowly ripening vineyards, take time. But Max has been keeping a secret from Tessa, one that could destroy her hopes for their future. Will a terrible accident force Tessa and Max to face how much they have to lose, or tear apart their budding relationship forever? Sometimes a romance is like a fine wine. To be its best, it just needs time to breathe.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Could not have loved this more
I'll be honest, from the picture and the title I was expecting a steamy romance book which isn't usually my thing. But I needed a change from all of the books about bleak futures that I was reading. This book blew me away and far far exceeded my expectations. It moves at a very relaxed pace and gives you time to really get to know not only the main characters but some of the lesser ones too. Beyond the romance it was really fun to get a glimpse inside of the wine industry. I also loved the family relationships in the book. To sum up, if you love love then you need to read this book!

A sweet romance
I loved how well developed the two main characters in this book are and how they are both strong personalities with something to prove to the world and to themselves. The story is well written and the characters react with maturity.

good
I liked that Tess was a strong and independent woman and didn't settle for second best and the leftovers her dad offered her. It was very selfish to put Tess in a corner and give her job away because he was concerned about himself. Smh. His reasoning made me think less of him and the fact he couldn't man up and explain things to her before he did them made me respect him less too. Tess was a little hard headed when she wouldn't listen to the explanation about the phone message but persistence and love paid off in the end .I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Wonderful first book of the series
I loved to feel like I was part of the winery and felt good when the story had a wonderful ending for everyone, no harsh details or moments I did not feel good with the story. Great narration, loved it so much. Now I'm on my way to next book!

Great story!
I loved that Tessa is a very strong woman and wanted to make her own mark on the world and own her own winery. Seems like her father wanted to keep his wine business with the men in the family. Her relationship was a bit rocky with Max at the beginning while he figured out if he wanted to stay on with the business she bought from him. I really enjoyed their getting to know each other and falling into their relationship. It was fun meeting the family members and learning more about the wine business. Lisa's narration was very good. Looking forward to listening to lore books in this series.

Wonderful Romance
I really enjoyed this book. I learned alot about the process of wine making. I adore strong female characters and this book delivers with Tessa Price who buys her own winery. The previous owner stays on to work in the company. Max is angry for having to sell to a Price of all people, so he is grumpy from day one with single answers to Tessa's questions. Soon things change between them. Lisa Beacon was wonderful with the narration.

Excellent book. Stellar performance.
I’m definitely hooked on audiobooks now—especially after getting the second Price Family Romance under my belt. The way Ms. Race crafts a slow-burn romance is perfect—and she weaves in intricate details that provide context for future events in the book.
The narrative performance brought that additional layer I think I need for engaging with text in audio. Pleasant voice, changes for different characters, and nailed the narrative pacing.
