by Jen Devon – I wanted to read this book forever, and I highly recommend that you don’t wait! This is a romance and a story about the amazing Brady family. By the end, you will wish you could spend an evening with this complicated, loving, game-playing family.

Rowan may have has her PhD in Biology but she also has a lot of pain – a research project in flames that threatens her future career, a self-involved mother, and a deep distrust of love due to a horrible fiancé. Needing to reset, she finds herself unexpectedly applying her knowledge of biology – revitalizing the vineyard that the Brady family recently purchased. This is where she meets Harrison Brady, who has returned to the east coast after a tragedy with one of his patients in California, leaving him with crippling anxiety and unsure if he can continue as an obstetrician. Their adorable meet-cute during a huge family game of tag leads to crackling chemistry, tons of banter, and an undeniable attraction. But they are looking for very different things, keeping important truths from each other and grappling with futures that take them on wildly different paths.

Jen writes beautifully not only about Rowan and Harry but also about their family and friends, the vineyard, nature, and fear. Her words drew me into this world and would not let go. It was sweet, charming, and heartbreaking. From their simmering slow-burn romance to hard truths being exposed, I was engrossed by all of it. I listened to the audiobook. It was a perfect dual narration. The second book in the series comes out this summer, and I am so excited!
