Autumn in the Vineyard (A St. Helena Vineyard Novel)

I love this series of books, when i downloaded the first book which was recommended to me i hadnt realized that it was in a series and the book i was reading was not the first book but it did not matter one bit, the books have a similar feel to Kelly Elliott's Wanted series which are based around one family so it was nice having a new family to fall in love with. The books are loving and sweet and you cant help falling in love with the characters and wanting everything to work out with them, you will laugh and cry with these books and you will wish it was you who was falling in love with the sexy men of this family!!

A light and easy book to read. Lots of family drama and a cute love interest. Would make a great holiday read, as once you start the story you want to find out how it ends. Great settings and the characters are vibrant and feisty.

I read 'kissing under the mistletoe' and really enjoyed it so I paid for this novel from this author.I was a bit disappointed, the character chemistry & interaction was not as well developed or enjoyable and I did not really care for the outcome.A bit predicatable really.

An interesting thoughtful book looking at the complex relationships within a tight knit Italian community living in Nappa Valley California, with the main themes being a very strong female character who will not compromise her beliefs and ambitions for a man until she is very, very sure that his intentions are in her best interests.

Another good story in the St Helena Vineyard series. This one featured a feisty young woman who although she was hurt badly for most of her life by being treated as though she didn't belong, she fights back & wins through.

I've read a couple of Marina Adair books and what I like about them is that they get you hooked from page 1! For a busy working mum that isn't looking for anything too complicated, they are easy to read, you can get lost in the story for a few minutes or a few hours depending on how much time you have! I find her style of writing very relaxing.

Bought nov 2014. Tried numerous times to read. As low reviews Amazon.com and uk say, it's boring. It's repetitive, not much happens, characters have so overly dramatic reactions it's comedic. Also, having characters with same name is confusing and often no prefix to determine which one is "talking". I got fed up and skimmed as story really dragged.

...and I can't believe I have to wait until February for the next one in the series. So grateful to Amazon.co.uk for recommending this author. She is a delightful story teller witha true gift.

I was so thrilled to enjoy this amazing and such beautiful book and is the third book of the lovely series, A St Helena Vineyard novel. This most wonderful romance set in such a glorious setting, in the Napa Valley Vineyards. With such two adorable characters who were coerced to work to together.Now that Francesca (Frankie) Baudouin dreams had finally come. That wonderful St Helens Vineyard was now her own. After meeting her Alpaca, Mittens. Now with Frankie's family who were involved with buying the land ended up placing quite a rift in both families. Making everyone of the DeLuca family sworn enemies, including Nathenial ( Nate) DeLuca. Now meeting the gorgeous hunk of a man, Nate saying the property was his made Frankie just get even more upset. Just making her more angrier every second.I loved this most amazing novel. With such wonderful gorgeous characters this was such a humorous most romantic and beautiful book I just completely loved!

What a great story, can wait to reed the next one. I have also lear how winemakers are selling their wine.

Sorrento Ranch is Frankie Baudouin's last chance to prove to her family--and to herself--that she has what it takes to be an award-winning winemaker. After being fired and all but disowned from her family, she will stop at nothing to ensure her success--even if it means playing nice with the Italian enemy. Sorento Ranch is Nate DeLuca's chance to make a dream come true and carry on his father's legacy. So when he finds himself forced to cohabitate with the incredibly gorgeous Frankie to fulfill a court order until the land dispute gets reasoned out, Nate is surprised to discover that among the chaos, sparks are flying.I got hooked on Adair after receiving book one in this Vineyard series for review awhile back. Similar to Shalvis and Higgins, Adair's writing style is humorous, witty and sweet. Amidst the laughing-out-loud moments is a deep understanding of dreams and conflict and how to balance these elements. It makes for an engaging read. The setting, pacing and secondary characters were engaging and perfectly complimented the story. The romance was hot and wicked fun. Don't miss this series.

This is the 3rd novel I read from her. She is good, I'm missing only the story about Gabe. All of her novels are good.

I think Nate and Frankie pretended to hate each other rather them admitting they loved each other more.This had a lot of pulling & throwing especially on Frankie's part but Nate being Nate came through for her like always
