Giuliana "Jules" Baci is the oldest of the three sisters having
pledged to give herself 1 year to help get the Tanti Baci
Winery in Napa Valley afloat. Both of her sisters, Stevie
and Allie, are recently happily married and determined to
save their legacy depending on Vow-Over Weekend to get them
in the black again. A fire at Jules' apartment soon becomes
suspect and keeps her on edge. Liam Bennett steps in to help the Baci sisters save the
winery. Having a long history with Liam, Jules doubts his
real motive. The secret is revealed that Liam and Jules
were secretly married 10 years ago resulting in Liam
walking away shortly after. There is an even bigger secret
yet to be unveiled which neither Liam nor Jules intend to
discuss. Being at odds with one another, they are now
forced to act the part of a happily married couple. This
will enforce the legend of the marriages of couples who
have toasted with blanc de blanc wine from Tanti Baci to
hopefully keep the winery operative. Who knows, they may
even discover the hidden treasure, also part of the
legend. Can Liam and Jules finally overcome the heartache
of the past and corral their emotions in order to face the
future? CAN'T HURRY LOVE is an emotional story of two young people
in love but lacking the maturity to cope with a devastating
tragedy. This is the third and last novel in the trilogy
of the Baci sisters by Christie Ridgway. As the last book
of this trilogy, this one was also filled with lots of
emotion laced with heartbreak. This is definitely a page
turner. I'm sorry that this is the last book in this
series, but look forward to new works by Christie.
SUMMARY
The three Baci sisters are on a mission to save Tanti
Baci--the winery that's been in their family for
generations--by transforming it into the perfect wedding
destination. But love doesn't come easy for everyone... The pivotal event of the wedding season is the fiftieth
anniversary celebration for the winery's bridal bubbly--a
shared glass of this sparkling wine supposedly keeps couples
in love forever. But worries over the festivities fly
straight out of Giuliana Baci's head when she finds her
apartment ablaze. Homeless and practically possession-less,
Giuliana is forced into living in the house next door to the
winery. Unfortunately, there's already someone in
residence... Liam Bennett staked his claim in Tanti Baci after stepping
in to help the Baci sisters save their family legacy. But
Giuliana doubts his motives. They've been at odds since the
one hot summer long ago that ended in heartache. With the
fate of the winery on the line, the former lovers will need
to get a handle on their barely leashed hostilities. And
with a tangled past and powerful emotions simmering just
below the surface, the road back to love will b e the
biggest challenge of all.
