#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back in Napa Valley with this hilarious rom-com about a down-on-her-luck heiress who suggests a mutually beneficial marriage of convenience to a man she can’t stand... only to discover there’s a fine line between love and hate.
After losing her job and her fiancé in one fell swoop, Natalie Vos returned home to lick her wounds. A few months later, she’s sufficiently drowned her sorrows in cabernet and she’s ready to get back on her feet. She just needs her trust fund to finance her new business venture. Unfortunately, the terms require she marry before she can have the money. And well, dumped, remember?
But Natalie is desperate enough to propose to a man who makes her want to kill him—and kiss him, in equal measure.
August Cates may own a vineyard, but he doesn’t know jack about making wine. He’s determined to do his late best friend proud, no matter what it takes. Except his tasting room is empty, his wine is disgusting (seriously, he once saw someone gag), and his buddy’s legacy is circling the drain. No bank will give him the loan he needs to turn the business around... and then the gorgeous, feisty heiress knocks on his door.
Natalie has haunted August's dreams since the moment they met, but their sizzling chemistry immediately morphed into simmering insults. Now, a quickie marriage could help them both. A sham wedding, a few weeks living under the same roof, and then they can go their separate ways—assuming they make it out alive. How hard could it be?
There’s just one thing they didn’t account for: their unfortunate, unbearable, undeniable attraction.

Ganz nett, aber es hatte dann doch ziemlich schnell etwas von Instalove und die Probleme lösten sich auch überraschend schnell. War mir zu konstruiert. Ich fand den ersten Band besser, vor allem auch wegen der charismatischeren Protagonisten.

This book is not a literary masterpiece. Don't expect that. However, this book is funny, spicy, it made me laugh, I made me cry. Such a good marriage of convenience trope. He falls for her first and becomes utterly obsessed with Natalie. He's completely infatuated with her. He strives to improve himself for her and to communicate better

4/5 ☆☆☆☆ Für alle die RomComs mögen. 🤭

3.5

Wie bereits Band 1 auch eine süße Liebesgeschichte, die im Wein-Mekka der USA spielt und uns dieses Mal sogar ein kleines bisschen mehr hinter die Kulissen der Weinherstellung mitnimmt 🍷🍇 Dank des männlichen Protagonisten August gefiel es mir sogar minimal besser als Band 1, ist aber trotzdem kein Liebling der Autorin.

Here we are again. I didn't enjoy Secretly Yours but I decided to read the sequel anyway. Don't ask me why, I honestly don't know. Anyhow, I'm detecting a trend with the men in this series becoming obsessed with boobs. This book is less bad than the previous, August obviously has it bad for Natalie from the moment he met her, and unlike Julian who only seemed to care about her boobs, August actually genuinely seems to like Natalie. Their banter was cute. However, the book is repetitive as fuck. Every time they have an intimate scene, there's this internal monologue about how it means nothing. Again and again. Plus they keep secrets from each other, which is just another excuse to drag out the miscommunication trope. We already went down that route in book one, do we really need to have a repeat? No one enjoys the miscommunication trope. It's just an excuse for bad writing. There are so many less lazy ways to create a conflict. Also, the author apparently decided that oral sex doesn't count as having sex, I'm sorry to break it to ya hon, but you're wrong, anyhow putting that point aside, they finally fuck and then August literally has his life flash before his eyes.. What? I'm sorry, what? It's life-altering now? Really? I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. It ruined the entire scene for me, which is saying something considering they've been building up to it for the past 75% of the book. Next you're gonna tell me it was so life altering he found religion. On average I've found that Tessa Bailey writes some decent smut, but that scene was... something else. And not in a good way. And apparently August doesn't just get life-altering sex, it also gives him superpowers because he can "sense Natalie's presence" now. After that they can sense each others thoughts down to every detail, without speaking? Great to know we've developed telepathy now. What's next, curing cancer? Tessa, whatever drugs you were on while writing this, I want them. And then at the end they realize it was insta-love from the start. If I roll my eyes any harder they'll pop out of my head. And they live happily ever after. I probably would've given it 3 stars but the last 25% was just.. outright ridiculous. Down to 2 stars we go.

3,5⭐ Die Geschichte rund um Natalie und August hat mir definitiv besser gefallen als der erste Teil der unabhängigen Dilogie! Natalie war mir von Anfang an sympathisch und ich mochte ihre Charakter Entwicklung sehr. Sie musste nach ihrem Karriere Tiefpunkt alles wieder von neu versuchen, sich immer wieder beweisen, ohne Anmerkungen zu bekommen und trotzdem hat sie nie aufgeben, an sich und ihr Talent zu glauben. August habe ich auch beide er ersten Begegnung in mein Herz geschlossen. Er ist genau das, was Natalie brauchte, obwohl sie es selbst noch nicht wusste. August ist der einzige, der an sie glaubt, ihre Stärke und ihren Mut sieht und ihr einfach jegliche Unterstützung gibt. Dadurch kam natürlich die Fake-Hochzeit gelegen, damit Natalie an ihr zustehendes Familiengeld kommt. Und irgendwie handeln sie schon sofort wie ein richtiges Ehepaar: Sie streiten, sie reden darüber, es kommt zu Missverständnissen, aber sie geben sich nicht auf! Das einzige, was mir nicht gefallen hat, ist die kurze Handlungszeit im Buch. Es passiert so viel in wenigen Tagen, sodass man denkt, sie sind seit mehreren Monaten schon Fake-verheiratet, obwohl es erst die ersten paar Tage nach der Hochzeit sind...und wenn man das mit betrachtet, geht mir die Entwicklung von der Zeit her zu schnell. Theoretisch geschieht alles innerhalb einer Woche.

One of my favorite tropes is Marriage of Convenience but omg. This genuinely was one of the worst books i’ve ever read
