From the Moment We Met (A St. Helena Vineyard Novel) [Kindle Edition]

Product Description

 June 1, 2014
After years of designing her family’s grand wineries (and a few not-so-grand closets on the side), Abby DeLuca knows she has what it takes to be an award-winning interior designer. Newly single, Abby lands the career opportunity of a lifetime and refuses to let anything—or anyone—stand in her way. And that includes St. Helena’s most irresistible contractor, the man who makes her melt every time she sees him—even though he shattered her heart years ago.
A former NFL star, Jack “Hard Hammer” Tanner now spends his days doing contract work for the beautiful women of St. Helena—and his nights doing off-the-books projects in their bedrooms. Yet the more time the sexy tool-belt-for-hire spends with Abby, the more he longs to fix her broken heart. Soon, rekindled sparks fly. But when Jack’s dream job comes calling, he faces a tough choice: building in the big leagues, or building forever with his first love.

I've always lived for the Happily Ever After. When I was younger, I had stacks of dog-eared romances that I would hide behind my more age-appropriate Baby-sitters Club books. As I grew older, I demanded more from stories than just beautiful protagonists and a tearful "I do" at the end. I wanted realism. I wanted imperfect characters I could identify with. I wanted family drama—the funnier, the better! And I still wanted that undeniable, toe-curling chemistry and a story that kept me enthralled the entire way through.

From the Moment We Met meets—and exceeds—all my requirements. The first time I read the manuscript, I canceled lunch plans so I could hole up and keep reading—simply because I needed to find out what was going to happen to fiery Abby, a recently single designer, and the well-muscled, sexy Tanner, an ex-NFL player. The fact that they had previously dated and that Abby swore she would never go out with him again was something I could identify with, but despite my own experiences, Tanner crept his way into my heart. Their push and pull was so electric that I was unable to tear myself away until the last page. I knew I wanted to be Abby's friend, and, frankly, Tanner just swept me off my feet.

Whether it's the Happily Ever After or the bumpy road leading up to it that you enjoy, From the Moment We Met delivers. And since I no longer need to hide my romance novels—in fact, I get to display them proudly—I can kick back, pour a glass of wine, and revisit the wonderful people who live in the charming small town of St. Helena, where the vineyards are plentiful and the romance is as full-bodied and spicy as the drink in my hand.
