The Winemakers Box Set (The Winemakers Series) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
The Winemakers – Box set: A Series of Sun-Kissed Historical Romances by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a wonderful box set of 3 wonderful historical romance stories.
The True Purpose of Vines- I had read book 2 first and so I knew I had to check out book 1 in this series and it definitely did not disappoint. The slow burn between Julia and Griffen made it a book I just couldn’t put down. The author creates a vivid and well written tale that transports you back in time and you really feel like you are right there with the characters in historical Portugal. I am always a fan of strong female characters, especially in a time period when women were supposed to be submissive to men. The author did a great job of creating characters and a landscape that you will definitely want to reread again and again.
The Taste of Light-This was my first book by the author, but it definitely won’t be the last! This story has everything, action, humor, drama, romance, tension, and redemption all rolled into one amazing story. The author’s vivid descriptions of the scenery added to the beautiful romance she weaved together. She foreshadowed Pedro and Anna’s love story with the medieval love story of Dom Pedro and Ines de Castro, which just added to the intense suspension of their love story. You really get a sense of the characters and want to see them get their happily ever after. This is absolutely a must read if you are a lover of historical romance.
The Truth About Myths-I thoroughly enjoyed this story; I thought the author did a great job of transporting us back in time to the 19th century, exploring the political scenes between Portugal and Spain. I absolutely adored Isabel our Portugal princess. I loved that she had values and standards and she held herself to a high standard, but wasn’t afraid to step in and help the less fortunate. I thought her temperament was a great match for Viscount Henrique and the verbal skirmishes really set the tone for the two of them. The vivid descriptions really make you feel like you are right there with the characters. If you love historical romance and want a story with twists, this is the book for you!
