About this ebook
A jaded Chicago reporter in her twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius in this rich and deeply satisfying contemporary romance by the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing.
Kate Corbin has lost her spark. A year ago, she had a handsome boyfriend and a budding career as a reporter at a popular Chicago newspaper. But after the woman who raised her passed away, leaving her lost and alone, she fell into a rut—and never got out. Now she’s stuck writing fluff pieces about lipstick and wine, and feeling trapped in a relationship that’s going nowhere.
Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, Kate’s boss and mentor gives her the opportunity to jump-start her career. The assignment: spend a week interviewing R. J. Lawson, a famously reclusive tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as the owner of a well-respected Napa Valley winery.
Kate jumps at the chance, but the trip begins in disaster, both personally and professionally. After alienating R.J., her only saving grace is Jamie, a charming vineyard hand who shows her the beauty of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. It doesn’t take long for Kate and Jamie to fall hard, and for Kate to rethink her life in the city. But the week ends with a heartbreaking journey back to Chicago that sends Kate reeling, wondering what went wrong in those four perfect days.

Such an epic romantic trip! Vivid detail within the writting and the immense passion that poured over the pages was just incredible! I laughed, I cried, I literally gasped out loud at parts; I felt I was living this story! I couldn't put the book down if I had tried! These two, Jamie and Kate, were part of fate and destiny aligning perfectly together! Life isnt perfect but its worth fighting for!

Loved loved loved this book!! Had to finish it in one sitting I just couldn't peel it away. From the very first chapter to the last sentence. I just wish there were more to read about Jamie and Kate. The love they share is inspiring. The details about Chicago & crazy ppl on the L were all right on the money! She hit a home run here. Def a new fan of any and everything Renée Carlino

I love great romance stories with happy endings. This book had just that. Great detail and great characters. A few grammatical errors but overall beautiful story. :)
