A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley Book 1) by Theresa Paolo – Review by Rosanna Ingram

A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Phoebe left town almost 20 years go, breaking her best friend’s heart in the process. Laurent was angry and lost…and now he’s shocked when Phoebe shows up in is vineyard’s tasting room. She wants to cash in on a promise they made to each other when they were younger…but he doesn’t know if he can trust her not to run again. So, when he agrees to pretend for Phoebe, he does so with his heart guarded…but the chemistry that these two share (even after all those years) is off the charts. Will they be able to just pretend and walk away? Or do their feelings run deep and true?

It took a while for me to warm up to Phoebe’s character…but I eventually go there. She has been through a lot and has quite the stepmother to deal with (and the lack for her father’s support). Laurent is a sweet man that has a protective streak when it comes to Phoebe. The supporting characters added to the story and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.
