Something in the Wine
Tricia Stringer
Reviewed by Helen
I have had this one sitting on my TBR pile for a while now, and have really enjoyed other books by Tricia Stringer, I do enjoy a good rural romance and this one I did as well, although it took me a bit to get into this one and to get to know the characters but once I did there was no putting the book down the setting is just so beautiful, I really need to visit the Margaret River area in Western Australia.
Keely Mitchell is a high school art teacher from South Australia she still lives at home with her parents and has decided that it is time that she has a holiday on her own she is off to Western Australia and plans to head up north but once she arrives in Perth things don’t go as planned when she ends up in hospital and is taken to the Margaret River vineyard by Euan Levallier to recuperate, here Keely will find peace and happiness and maybe love.
Euan has lived in this beautiful area for many years he is widowed and with his son Flynn they run and own Levallier Dell Wines a very popular winery they make award winning wines but he and Flynn don’t always see eye to eye on the way the future should go.
It is not long before Keely is feeling much better and is helping on the vineyard and making friends with Flynn but there is a lot of tension between father and son and with Flynn also getting closer to neighbour Kat Keely’s emotions are all over the place. When she is offered relief work at the local high school past memories are bought to a head.
Levallier Dell on the river in this beautiful area seems to have healing powers for Keely and she is loving being here, her art is helping but will she move on or will things turn out for the better, this one was hard to put down there are lots of emotions running throughout the story so many characters that add to the story the grumpy neighbour the interfering friend, but the journey for Keely and Flynn to find that happiness and love was an uphill battle, but so worth it. I do highly recommend this one.
