Bless Their Hearts Mom: Book Review: Crushed by Deborah Coonts Book Review: Crushed by Deborah Coonts

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I was sent this book, free of charge, from Kate Tilton's Author Services, for review purposes. No other compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own,

After a visit to Napa, author Deborah Coonts fell in love…with wine.

Conceived of as a four-book series, her new The Heart of Napa series follows four women (and their men) each of whom toils in her chosen vocation in the farm-to-table movement—the winemaker, the artisanal cheese maker, the baker and the restaurateur. These are feel-good stories as each woman finds the life she was meant to live—and serves up some killer wine, cheese, and chocolate (yes, recipes and pairings included).

In Crushed we meet the winemaker…. In Napa Valley, he who has the best grapes wins.


Read chapter 1 over at Deborah's website!


Now ya'll know HOW much I love Lucky from Deborah's other book series, set in Vegas (that girl is So my alter ego/super hero), so I was highly intrigued to start reading this new series and to see how she took on the history of Napa and the allure of wine making and made it hers!

Deborah never fails to deliver! This is another rollicking read, that will have you turnign pages late into the night, or unable to leave the beach til it's done! Everything is here, the family connections to European vines, the family rivalries, the fight over dwindling market shares and the search to reinvent wine and make it uber popular again. Add in a great romance, a bit of a mystery, and some good old family drama/trauma, that Deborah does so well, and you have a book you don't want to put down, and that you may find yourself talking back to, as characters react the way you don't want them to! But Deborah knows what her readers want, and she moves the book readily into a great ending, setting up book 2. As always Deborah's books are super quick reads and ones that will inspire your romantic soul!
