The Taste of Light (The Winemakers Book 2) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Ayla Phipps

The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the first book in the Winemakers series, The True Purpose of Vines, I was hooked on Giovanna Siniscalchi’s amazing work. This book like the first has a dual perspective, Anne Maxwell, the younger sister of Griffin from book one, and Pedro Daun, who was also first introduced in the first book.
Anne is a kind, sweet and naïve girl in the beginning, looking for her happily ever after. Pedro is in part a villain in the beginning of the book, running from a past that has haunted him for more than a decade. When first meeting Anne knew nothing of who Pedro was but could see something in his eyes that said she found her person. Pedro did the only thing he could do; he took her with him to protect her from the guilt of his past. A wild journey across the country, each fighting their own battles within them while running for their lives. Over the course of this beautifully written book the author immerses the reader in the story, leading the characters to not only enter your heart but to steal it away. Anne shows an unimaginable amount of kindness and an unwavering determination to break down Pedro’s walls and show him love. The way she deals with the violence and takes everything in turn never altering who she is, is admirable. In turn Pedro finds that he not only craves her touch but that she has became his very breath giving him life. When the sins of his past threatens to soil the pureness of her soul.
Will Pedro allow Anne into his heart? How will Anne deal with the truth of his past? Is love truly strong enough to overcome all? Once again, the author builds not only an amazing world, but her characters leap off the page filling your heart with their story. I couldn’t help but route for Pedro and Anne, not only for him to overcome the sins of his past but for Anne to be at his side the entire way. I am officially hooked on Giovanna Siniscalchi, I went too long without her beautiful work. The third book in the Winemakers series, The Truth about Myths comes out September 20th, 2023, and I already have a countdown to see where this world goes next.
