Come home to Ribbon Ridge, a close-knit community in the heart of Oregon's wine country. In Heather Heyford's newest offering, childhood friends reunite and discover that time apart has only deepened their feelings for each other . . .
These star-crossed lovers could be the perfect pairing!
From the time they were in grade school, graphic designer Harley Miller-Jones believed that Jack Friestatt was her destiny--until she was blindsided by Jack's sudden engagement to another, right after high school graduation. Ten years have passed. Now Harley's back in Ribbon Ridge, successful beyond expectation, intent on buying a bed and breakfast--an independent woman ready for the next chapter in her life.
Jack Friestatt has his hands full managing his winery, precocious twin daughters, and an iron-handed family matriarch. But behind the gentleman farmer's handsome exterior beats an empty heart. Life has taught Jack some tough lessons and now the lonely widower is ready for a new life partner. But has he learned enough to win back the woman whose world he once turned upside down?

Terri's Thoughts
**I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!**
I have read plenty of Heyford's work at this point to know that I can always rely on her to provide an entertaining read that won't leave me disappointed. I think this one may be my favorite so far.
The reason why?
Aside from the usual easy to read style that I grown to know from Heyford, the main reason for me is that this is the first one of her books that takes place in wine country that doesn't spend too much time talking about wine. Yes it is there, Jack runs a vineyard after all. I must be clear, I hate wine. I hate everything about it, vineyards bore me (I've toured a few), I don't like the taste (especially red, although I have found a white that may make me a convert), and most of all I hate the smell (again especially red). The fact that this story spends a little less time on the details of everything wine made the story more interesting.
The characters were flawed but likeable. The children were cute. I could envision myself in that house!
At the end of the day, if you are already a Heyford fan than you will be pleased with this book. If you are not familiar and are a fan of this genre (or wine) then I recommend you try this series.
Lastly, I apologize to all of the wine lovers out there if any of my comments offended you. Let me know if you want to talk martini's instead :-)
