Wonderful Writing, Characters and Setting
4.5 stars
I enjoyed this book so much, it was the perfect fit for a romantic read with a little paranormal magic sprinkled on. The writing was fantastic, the characters well developed, and the setting was amazing. Not much can top a vineyard in France for beauty and lifestyle.
Jona, a young teen, troubled, alone and in legal trouble is sent to France to live with her Mother and Aunt after years of living in a orphanage, weeks from her release at 18. Her mother dropped her off as a child and left some horrendous scars on Jona's soul. Her hatred towards this woman who abandoned her is thick and unwavering. She is set to run, planning it and somehow it keeps getting put off. It might be her Aunt or it might be Julian,he's young gorgeous and is too close to her Dragon of a mother for comfort, but...
Julian, is her mothers caretaker. He is soft, always touching her, soothing her. His presence seems to calm everyone and make the room brighter when he enters. He works to bring the split family together and ends up forming a bond with Jona.
I can't wait for more books from this author, I love her style.
