About this listen

I'm not the obvious choice to run Burlington's coolest wine bar - quiet, brooding, clueless about tannin content, and always one wrong turn away from another downward spiral.

But no one seems to mind that I'm a wreck. Besides me. I just focus on getting through each shift until the night a beautiful stranger appears, looking as lost and damaged as I feel.

When a mutual friend calls in a favor, the sexy newcomer winds up crashing on my couch. I don't know if it's his melodic Cornish accent, or his ocean blue eyes, or the rock-hard body with the mysterious scars, but I get the feeling whatever happened to him runs far deeper than those wounds.

Having Jax in my home makes my chest warm. Makes me shiver. Makes me want more. But I've got a pile of baggage and I don't want to be a burden on anyone let alone a man who seems to have enough demons of his own.

Our chemistry is off the charts. His arms feel like home. The last thing I want is to screw this up. Is it wrong to hope we can heal each other? Or will one of us die trying?

Contains mature themes.

It’s gentle and romantic but one of the narrators had an Irish accent instead of Cornish. I wonder why they didn’t just use the voice actor who could do both to read the whole book.

A sweet story

The book was good but not something I would have naturally reached for, it was super emotional and hurt/comfort filled. Considering it wasn’t bad, I stuck it out. Each of the books in the Vino & Verita’s collection are stand alone; while I like the setting and world built. I’ll be more selective about which ones I read in the future.

As I listened to this book I should mention the narration is something special…by special I mean super distracting. Both narrator are good in their own voices but the narrator for Tanner was unable to voice Jax appropriately. His accent being Northern Irish not Cornish. If you have no familiarity with UK accents this won’t bother you.

Super emotional...

It is a story that starst well but soon becomes too much like too many others. The big difference with the audio book is that the readers don't follow the written word. This is an 'interpretation' and the readers breathe life into the story.

This ordinary book is lifted by the readers

This story was ok, but there’s far better ones out there. Didn’t grab me by the heart and I found myself getting a bit bored.

Also to note, the author needs to find Google. Don’t write about a medical condition without a simple online check that you’ve made it make sense. Would take a few seconds to realise insulin would help with high blood sugar, not low sugar, with diabetes. And since the character with it was a doctor themselves, they’d know this. Though it would explain the ultimate outcome for that character. As an author, why would you put something in a story that you don’t know enough about?

It was ok

This was totally ruined by the attempts to do a Cornish accent that came out as a very weirdly pitched Irish accent!!!
and referring to us as "British" and pronounced "Bridish". We are NOT British. We are English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and yes Cornish

3.5 rounded to 4 stars.

I’m currently binging the Vino and Veritas series but this was a new to me author.
I really enjoyed the story and the pacing (and the last 15% really took off but I’m not going to spoil) although I found myself drifting at times.

I liked both the MMCs but wanted there to be some more explosive moments between them as they navigated their own issues whilst trying to figure out their relationship. Don’t get me wrong this book had heat and spice but with the particular issues raised in this book I felt we could’ve gone grittier and darker.

I did listen to this as an audiobook and the narrators did a fab job, they are both new to me too and I will def look out for more of their work.

I’ll also be picking up more by this author, I think this is a good first book to try by them as is a standalone and let’s you get a feel for their style and writing.

Great story, with action packed third act.

Another good story in this series, spoilt a little by one of the narrator's wandering accent. Very likeable characters, an interesting story and a HEA. worth a credit

good story worth a listen

Every dual narration story has differences in the way each narrator voices the character. Yes the alternate narration of Jax is more like Northern Irish than Cornish, but the dialect is a minor part of the audio and it really doesn’t impact the enjoyment of listening to this lovely story.

The audiobook holds its own in the series. I’m glad I ignored the reviews as I have thoroughly enjoyed the book. As someone from the NW of England, I loved all nods to British culture, but even I’m not keen on Wagon Wheels! 🤣

Lovely story (ignore the reviews)
