ABOUT THE BOOK

The only thing headier than wine is lust. 

Ryan Royer thought his business trip to California’s Napa Valley would be easy. Land a new client. Taste wine. But when the client is a free-spirited bombshell who presses all of his buttons, Ryan’s world goes sideways. 

Kenzie Balfour is entirely irresistible. She’s the fourth generation to run The Von Eck Estate Winery and she’s more intoxicating than any award-winning cabernet. 

Ryan has been working hard for a promotion at one of the world’s top investment banks. If he can close this deal for her legendary winery, he gets the job. He can’t let a gorgeous woman with a great laugh get in the way of his goals. Even if she leaves him love drunk.

From a trouser-tightening almost-kiss at a restaurant to a seductive walk through a vineyard at sunset, can Ryan keep his crush on his client under control or will a taste of Kenzie be his downfall?

MY THOUGHTS

Like a superb wine, CRUSH by Mae Wood is an indulgence best savoured. Not only does Wood have a way with words but her stories contain characters I can admire and relate to. The book contains themes and situations that often have me wondering what I would do if I was in that character’s shoes.  I become immersed in Wood’s books and want to live in them.

I really enjoyed Kenzie and Ryan’s story. I felt there was a balance between the dialogue, their inner thoughts, their physical chemistry and the external forces that made them question their actions and choices. The pacing of this story spot on; it’s a slow-burn read that held momentum from start to finish.

The characters are relatable, the situations are credible, and there are several secondary characters who need their own stories (Charlie, Elsa and Sugarbear). I’ll start petitioning the author soon.  

A highly recommended read! Now I’m off to download the audio version . . .
