The True Purpose of Vines (The Winemakers Book 1) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Jenni Bishop

The True Purpose of Vines by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

Historical romance is not really my thing but I was pleasantly surprise by this compelling story and the authors narrative.

This enemies-to-lovers story is Giovanna’s debut novel and as a first book she has done very well. It is an historical romance story set in the 1870’s in the Douro region. It vividly showcases Portugals rich history, culture and lore’s and traditions and winemaking mixed in with a dash of romance. Giovanna’s beautifully written tale will not only capture your heart but will leave you wanting more.

With cultural differences and prejudices and a plague can one headstrong woman and one man who believes himself above others come together and find true love?

Julia is the best winemaker in the region. She has everything she loves and will defend it to the bitter end but it is all threatened by her late husbands’ debt.

Griffin is an arrogant Englishman. He doesn’t want to be where he is but trade dictates the need. However, he may just have met his match.
