I read a lot of romance books, romantic suspense, women’s fiction, etc., and there are a few things that really capture my attention. One of those things is the physical aspect of the main characters.
I understand the buildup factor is important to many people. However, I really enjoy it when books start with a bang and then the characters figure out life after the fact.
To me, it makes the book more interesting, less of a pattern, and it just really makes it more of an enjoyable story for me to read.
This new book coming out is a perfect example of that. A wild connection from the beginning and then the characters work hard to figure out life moving forward. Check out my full review below.
Drunk on Love by Jasmine Guillory
Publisher: Berkley
Publication Date: September 20, 2022
ISBN-13: 978-0593100882
Overview:
Margot Noble needs some relief from the stress of running the family winery with her brother. Enter Luke: sexy, charming, and best of all in the too-small world of Napa, a stranger. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and Margot is delighted that she lucked into the perfect one-night stand she’ll never have to see again. That is, until the winery’s newest hire, Luke, walks in the next morning. Margot is determined to keep things purely professional, but when their every interaction reminds her of the attraction still bubbling between them, it proves to be much more challenging than she expects.
Luke Williams had it all, but when he quits his high-salary tech job in Silicon Valley in a blaze of burnout and moves back to Napa to help a friend, he realizes he doesn’t want to tell the world—or his mom—why he’s now working at a winery. His mom loves bragging about her successful son—how can he admit that the job she’s so proud of broke him? Luke has no idea what is next for him, but one thing is certain: he wants more from the incredibly smart and sexy woman he hooked up with—even after he learns she’s his new boss. But even if they can find a way to be together that wouldn’t be an ethical nightmare, would such a successful woman really want a tech-world dropout?
Set against a lush backdrop of Napa Valley wine country, nothing goes to your head as fast as a taste of love—even if it means changing all your plans.
Drunk on Love by Jasmine Guillory Review
This is my second book by this author and I was excited to pick it up because I really enjoyed the first one. Plus this cover of this one blew me away!
What a wonderful kick-off to a delightful read! The author killed it on the whole burning attraction and deep desire between these two. Smart and steamy got a new look!
Guillory crafted two awesome characters that balanced each other in the most delightful way. Both had struggles hidden away but once the fires started heating up, they were perfectly matched.
The storyline offers a beautiful backdrop, fun, passion, fresh ideas, and an awesome ending for the romance lover in you! Drunk on Love is the perfect title for this story!
4 STARS!!
