When the widowed owner of the wine bar Vineyard decides she wants to take some time off and travel abroad, she leaves her business in the very capable hands of the two women she trusts most: her daughter Piper and Vineyard's general manager, Lindsay. For Lindsay Kent, Vineyard is her dream job. She's thrilled when her boss leaves her in charge (well, half charge) and tells her to feel free to make changes. Lindsay has tons of ideas that she's been dying to put into action, and this is her big chance to increase thesuccess of the business and prove she's more than ready to run things solo. But getting the boss's daughter on board is harder than expected. The uptight and annoyingly attractive Piper is blocking her every move. For Piper Bradshaw, Vineyard is not her job. She already has one. She's VP at a large tech company, and she's damn good at it. Who cares if people say she's a workaholic and an icy bitch? She didn't get to the top by being prone to whims and experiments. She'snot happy when her mother suddenly decides to gallivant all over the country and furious that the family business has been left in the hands of the happy-go-lucky, born-ageneration-too-late hippie who manages it. Good thing Lindsay can't make any changesunless they both agree, because Piper doesn't intend to. Lindsay and Piper are like night and day. Working together won't be easy, but not falling in love might prove the hardest job of all. No library descriptions found. |

It's the story of Lindsay and Piper. Lindsay is the general manager of Vineyard wine bar (heh, well, the last book I read, Pride and Porters was beer, and this is wine to balance it out, even though I neither like nor drink either beverage). Piper is the daughter of the owner, Ellen, as well as being a VP at a very large tech company.
Ellen goes on an extended vacation sort of thing leaving (very specifically) both women in charge, Piper more in charge of the money, while Lindsay is in charge of the actual wine bar and can make changes as long as Piper agrees. That's the rub, they don't totally trust each other, and then they start falling in love and that complicates stuff even more and then something catastrophic happens in part of Piper's life and everything falls apart.
It was a fun read. I liked both of the main characters (which surprised me a little, I wondered at the beginning if I'd like Piper). I also liked the secondary characters as well, like Lindsay's friend/co-worker Bridget and Piper's best friend, Matthew. They added some awesome depth to the novel.
And I repeat. Needed more Edgar, not Rocket. Yep.
