I’m back again with yet another romance review! Grab a cup of tea (or maybe a glass of milk) and strap in because this one is spicy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately Yours<\/strong><\/a> by Tessa Bailey<\/a>, the second book in the ‘Vine Mess’ duology came out in June, and I ran to read it. I enjoyed reading its predecessor Secretly Yours<\/a> when it came out in February, and I was 100% ready to fall in love with Natalie Voss and August Cates (can we also talk about how rad these names are?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot: Natalie Voss has fallen from grace in her career as a high-profile stockbroker on Wallstreet, and in Secretly Yours, came home to her family’s vineyard in Napa Valley with her tail between her legs. She made a really bad decision, was fired and then her fiance broke off their engagement, and she wants to show them how wrong they all were. To do that, she needs money! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

August Cates, on the other hand, is an ex-Navy Seal who has started a wine business to fulfil his dead best friend’s dream. However, it isn’t going too well as the wine is awful. Natalie and August clashed briefly in Secretly Yours<\/em> and ‘despise’ (read: attracted to) each other. His business is about to close and he needs a loan to stay afloat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter the marriage of convenience. Natalie can access her trust fund under one condition: get married! August and Natalie decide to enter into marriage to fulfil both of their dreams. Turns out though, while they don’t like each other, they do have sizzling sexual tension that can’t be ignored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is spicy, fun and emotional: all the things you could want in a romance novel. You don’t have to read them in order, even though the main female character is initially introduced in Secretly Yours<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hear me talk more about this book on our podcast episode here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
