A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley Book 1) by Theresa Paolo – Review by Heidi Sturgess

A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The dedication had me smiling and pouring a glass of Chardonnay to begin my journey
“ Dedicated to wine . This series exists because of my love for you .” 🍷🥰📚❣️🤣

Laurent and his family have been running Vine Valley for over fifty years and if memory serves me right Laurent would be 3rd generation to run it alongside his siblings , I love his heart and how he wants to honour his grandpa and his legacy ❣️

They all seem to know their place and things run like a well oiled machine , we’ll mostly because life isn’t perfect 😉
Laurent = Sales and he’s got a serious knack for business and has taken the vineyard to new highs

Rhone is assistant winemaker and a bit if a free spirit

Nero is a real flirt and I think he could charm a nun out of her habit 🤣🙈

These boys are a good bunch and each brings something to the party and they’re just awesome !

Now Phoebe our blue green eyed blonde beaut was fortunate enough to grow up with this lot but her bond with Laurent was different and they made a pact to marry each other if they reached the ripe old age if 40 and were still unattached and when Phoebe marches in to lay claim to their pact I pour myself another glass of nectar of the gods (wine)🤣let the games begin

Phoebe has a strained relationship with her family and when het stepsister is getting married she needs Laurent to save face and he agrees but he has 1 condition to this agreement and Phoebe thinks she’s fine but Laurent isn’t an easy man to resist ….

I laughed hard , I cried even harder especially where Phoebe really opens up to Laurent I just really felt Phoebe there and yes I even got angry for many reasons , there were so many emotions going through me while reading about Laurent and Phoebe and their road to their own HEA …. Every page was great and every sip was mighty fine 😉
