Alyssa Blake crashes an invitation only masquerade party at
the estate of the Saxon's, wealthy vintners and owners of
Saxon's Folly Winery. She catches the attention of Joshua
Saxon, the second son, and finds it difficult to escape
from him. He is putting all the right moves on her and
she knows how he has gained his reputation as a playboy.
If he only knew that she is the leading wine reviewer for
Wine Watch Magazine and the author of a scathing review
about him. Alyssa is there to talk with Roland Saxon, the
eldest son, about something extremely private. Roland
agrees to meet with her the next day, but that night he and
his fiancée are in a car accident, and Roland dies. Kay
and Phillip Saxon know who Alyssa really is and why she
wants to talk with their son. After Roland's death, Kay
agrees to let Alyssa stay on at Saxon's Folly over the
protests of Joshua, who believes that Alyssa was Roland's
mistress. Even though Joshua wants to despise Alyssa, he
cannot fight the attraction he has for her.
Tessa Radley has set this new series in New Zealand, and
her narrative is strong and picturesque. Josh and Alyssa
are strong protagonists, even when they are enemies. When
there is no trust, there cannot be a true relationship, and
it takes too long for the truth to come out to make this a
credible romance. The supporting cast is strong and
likeable.
Joshua Saxon, the arrogant millionaire who ran New
Zealand's premier winery, believed Alyssa Blake had been
his late brother's mistress. But the true connection
between Alyssa and the Saxons was even more
shocking.
From the first moment they met, both Alyssa
and Joshua had been shaken by a passion that could not be
denied. But what could the future hold for a man and woman
with so many secrets and lies between them...
