Easy, peasy happily-ever-afters have never been my go-to as I prefer the romances that gain traction and has a learn as you go feel. This novella definitely captures that spirit! Yes, they fall in love and yes, the book has the holiday vibe all the way. As you can imagine, they love each other dearly but they find that each of them have different wants. On top of this, they realize that they have to deal with their pasts separately before they can grow together. As expected with these type of novels, love wins in the end and it’s truly wrapped up like a perfect holiday present.

5 Stars The Scent of Snow (The Winemakers Series) by Giovanna Siniscalchi
The Scent of Snow is part of the Winemakers Series and is a wonderfully written Historical Christmas Romance Novella that I absolutely loved reading. This was the perfect book to read as the weather has been cold and snowy here. I found myself lost in the pages and felt like I was apart of the story. I literally read this in one sitting because I couldn’t stop reading. Let me just say that this author is one of my all time favorites for Historical Romance. She does an amazing job of pulling you into a completely different era and she paints such a vivid picture I can see what she’s describing. This is a heartbreaking yet heartwarming story that had my emotions all over the place. Pedro and Anne show us how love and forgiveness can weather any storm. These are put to the test when a boy comes up missing and secrets are to be revealed. In fear of giving something away im stopping but will say I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Im looking forward to reading more from this amazing author.

Yet again another wonderful read by this very talented author. This novella was so beautifully written that I couldn’t put it down and more to the point I didn’t actually want to! It was so lovely to be back with Pedro and Anne again! I just loved the connection between them, it really was so genuine and beautiful. You could almost feel the love pouring off the pages at times. I really did feel for Pedro because as much as he loves Anne, he cannot let his past demons go with how he was treated by his father. It was so painful for him that it made him not want to be a father himself. As with all of the other books in this series, the author does an amazing job of transporting us to Portugal and with all of the rich detail and descriptive language in the story you really do feel like you are there with the characters. I 100% recommend this read but would also recommend you read Pedro and Anne’s full-length story (The Taste of Light) before reading this wonderful novella.

3/5 Stars This was my first read of the series. This was a quick read for me and it was able to be read as a standalone. I will say reading the previous books would have given me more details, but it’s not necessary. I thought this was going to be a clean, Christmas romance, but it’s not. It has some spice which caught me off guard.

I enjoyed reading this historical romance story. This is an author that I have read in the past which I enjoyed reading but this one just may be my favorite. This is a well written story that takes place during Christmas but will it be that joyfull? Pedro and Daun’s relationship is put to the test during this holiday season. When a missing boy brings out secrets, fears and the true meaning of the season. A story of love and forgiveness and one you don’t want to miss. I enjoyed how these characters pulled me into their world with ease. They are strong, relatable characters that had me coming back for more. I enjoyed the roller coaster of emotions that they took me on throughout. They have great chemistry and attraction which made the story easy to read. This is a fast paced story that had me turning pages to the end. I highly recommend reading this book.

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance with a festive feel which kept me happily turning the pages. Set on the Count of Almoster’s estate, Pedro and Anne Daun from ‘The Winemakers Series’, epic love story continues. I would personally recommend reading the books in this series in order. Although it’s the Christmas season Anne and Pedro both seem to want different things for their future together. Whilst Anne is yearning for a child, Pedro who is scarred from his painful past is guarding his heart against being a father. As the family gather for their festive celebrations, the snow starts to fall and when a young boy gets lost in this snowy wilderness Pedro goes to rescue him, but finds his courage is tested. Pedro is forced to face his fears and find the true meaning of love and forgiveness, but Anne and Pedro’s marriage remains at risk with the couple wanting different futures, but hopefully their love is strong enough. I was once again transported back in time and to the Count of Almoster’s estate, this time in the snow which gave a lovely Christmas feel to the story. The setting was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and the added historical details which I’ve come to expect in this series. I loved being back with Anne and Pedro and enjoyed spending the festive period with them!

I really enjoyed this book. I did not read The Taste of Light that this novella has come stemmed from but, I was able to understand the character dynamic and the story easily enough. This story really had me drawn to Anne and Pedro and I will definitely be looking into the Winemakers series. The story of the family being cursed with the bridge is so interesting and I love how it all played into all the goings on at the estate. Pedro definitely has some demons and Anne seems like the brightest light to ever have conquered his darkness, but he is not very good at sharing his turmoil with is bride, he wants to keep her pure, innocent and away from all things bad. I love how he loves her and pushes aside some of his doubts regarding their future and speaks to Anne. Also very spicy!

The Scent of Snow (The Winemakers Series) by Giovanna Siniscalchi is a wonderful historical women’s fiction story – with Christmas wishes, a grumpy/sunshine factor, age gap, sweet & tender touches, spicy scenes, romance, emotion, quirky & complex characters, humour, mysteriousness, and enough drama, challenges, and angst to keep things interesting. As this follows Anne and Pedro, adding to their story that we read in Book #2- “The Taste of Light” (Book #2 in the series), I highly recommend reading that book before starting on this one as the whole story foundation, character information, backstory, and other important details are found there. Having all that information on board will definitely enhance your reading experience of this story. The whole series is definitely worth reading. Having met Anne and Pedro before and loving their story, I was excited to see what this novella would hold. Set in Portugal in 1874, we join Anne and Pedro during Christmas. With all the romantic touches I have come to expect from Ms. Siniscalchi, as well as a sprinkle of Christmas magic, and some mysteriousness- she had me flipping the pages to find out what happens. These two have a few ‘bumps’ to traverse- and will Anne get her Christmas wish? Well worth the read to find out. This is the last book in The Winemakers Series- which would have been sad, except Ms. Siniscalchi has promised a spin-off series, which soothed the sting of this being the finale. I can’t wait to see where we go from here, and what Ms. Siniscalchi has in store for us in the new series…. bring it on! Happy Reading…

I really enjoy the Winemakers Series and this short additional story is no different. The Scent of Snow brings one of my favorite characters in this series back to front and center. I love the storyline and the stories this author tells. The character development is wonderful to behold. Pedro is back and unfortunately he still feels broken. Having redeemed himself in some light, he still feels broken and unworthy in other light. Which is killing him because it means he’s disappointing his wife Anne. All Anne desires is her husband’s child, however he refuses to grant her that wish. But he won’t tell her why, just keeps telling her she’s young and they have plenty of time. It’s Christmas and Pedro and Anne are hosting her family and close friend. As well as Cris, Pedro’s brother, should be returning home as well. Will Pedro ever feel healed/whole? Will Anne ever get the child she desires? It’s hard not to keep writing but I don’t want to spoil everything. Like I said this book is significantly shorter than the others. So there’s only so much one can say without spoiling it. I will say this, you can read this story on its own; however I suggest you at least read Pedro and Anne’s story first. This is just an addition to that original story.

The conclusion of this series comes to us in the form of this novella. Pedro and Anne have been married for a couple of years now and it’s coming upon the Christmas season. Anne’s family is coming to visit and Pedro is just overjoyed at their arrival (insert mass sarcasm here). Things have been going well for Anne and Pedro except for one thing….Pedro is refusing to give Anne the one thing she wants most. As the family starts to arrive, Pedro receives some unexpected news that will cause a shift in his demeanor and have Anne wondering what could possibly be up with him. Can Christmas be saved and the bridge that is gulfing this couple be mended?
It’s another great historical read and one that still has me a little leery of Pedro. He’s been growing on me since first meeting him in The True Purpose of Vines but I’m still not completely won over by him yet. I’m hoping his and Anne’s story is not done yet and that they will make cameo appearances in future books.
This book can be read as a standalone. I would encourage you to read the entire series in order though so you have a good history of Pedro!

4.5 stars Giovanna has constantly surprised me with her historical romance series The Winemakers. The Scent of Snow can be read as a standalone, but you really should read the other books before it. This lovely 1870’s Victorian story The Scent of Snow is set at a the most magical time of year, Christmas in Portugal. As with the other books in the series this book is steeped in history, traditions and cultures and the love of winemaking. Giovanna’s writing is passionate and rich in historical detail, descriptions, and world building, that captures your heart. It is told in dual POV as we learn more about who they are.
Pedro and Anne’s story continues as characters from previous books all come together to celebrate Christmas. It is fun and magical full of hope, dreams, wants, needs, drama, compassion and passion, tenderness, love, lots of emotions, sugar and spice, chemistry and romance. But what Anne wants Pedro is not sure he can give her. So where does that leave them you ask. Well pick up the book and have a read of this beautifully written story.

This is a Christmas novella in The Winemakers Series. I have loved all the books in this series and this one was just as magical. This story is set at Christmas time and the authors descriptions of the surroundings really bring the Christmas feeling to life. This is a sweet romance, but there are also challenges for the couple. Pedro has a tough time as he has to deal with his past and past demons the way he is dealing with it is by pushing people away and not allowing them to see him struggling including Anne. Anne is also dealing with her own issues. Anne wishes for 2 things this Christmas. For snow and for a baby. But as it looks like her wishes won’t be granted she has to deal with her feelings around the issue as well as sensing something is wrong with Pedro. Can this couple work through their troubles together and become stronger for it or will Pedro’s distance and Anne’s unfulfilled wishes push them further apart.
These historical romances are so beautifully written and I have followed this couple from the beginning and seeing their growth has made them feel like family. If you like historical romances then I definately recommend these books.

This book is a well written and engaging novella, combining the characters from the author’s Winemaker series. It was great to see all the characters I had read about previously come together, and to focus again on the main two. I would definitely reading the other books in the series first however, this book can easily be enjoyed without having done so. I thought this book was a great addition to the series. Although a novella, it seemed to pack just as much in as any of the other books and I found myself flying through the story. I easily reconnected with the characters and was happy to let the story take me on a journey. This is a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

What a beautiful story with tragic undertones. The tone of the story was really fairly easy to relate to. Anne wanted to start a family. Pedro didn’t want one. Reading about their struggle and dealing with family drama made this a book that I couldn’t put down.Beautiful story with wonderfully written characters.

Join The Winemakers for an enchanting Christmas celebration!
Amid the snow-covered beauty of the Count of Almoster’s estate, Pedro and Anne Daun’s love story continues, but this Holiday, their desires are on a collision course. Scarred by a painful past, Pedro guards his heart against fatherhood while Anne’s yearning for a child threatens to unravel their perfect marriage.
As the family gathers for a festive celebration, buried secrets set the stage for a winter’s tale like no other. When tragedy strikes, and a young boy vanishes into the snowy wilderness, Pedro’s courage is tested in ways he never imagined. Together, they must confront their deepest fears and find the true meaning of love, forgiveness, and the magical ‘Scent of Snow’ that can transform their lives forever.
Will Pedro and Anne’s love prove strong enough to weather the storm, or will the snowy landscape forever change the course of their destinies?
Stories are the very fabric of life. I want to transport readers to exotic settings, where they can find romance and happy endings and hopefully bring some back to their daily lives. Portugal brims with beauty and passion, and I research every tiny detail of my novels, hoping to make the reader treasure my grandparents’ country as I do. I have a loving husband who still is my hero and two amazing kids. When it’s cold and rainy, I run inside to read and watch movies under blankets, sipping wine. You can find me on the beach during summer, surfing with my family.

For fans of spicy historical romance with a twist—set in Spain/Portugal—but with all the crucial elements that make me love this genre. It’s got period details, romance tropes, and a plot that isn’t only about a love story. The characters are well-developed, although sometimes the writing took me out of the story a little. I haven’t read the other two books in this series but I’m sure I’ll be picking up a book by this author again in no time.

A truly wonderful romance novel. Along with the elegant writing and word play the author uses, this love story is intriguing to follow. They meet, neither of them the willing participant of a love story, but cannot help their feelings. Originally on opposite sides, they find themselves standing as one unit to help one another. Very fun to read.

Princess Isabel loves her country above all else and is willing to do whatever it needs to protect it. Henrique, her bodyguard, is scientific and practical and flirty and our princess doesn’t know how to deal with the feels she gets from him. This book is full of imagery of both Portugal and Spain , amazing dialogue, and a great story line. It is book 3 in the series but the first two are not needed ahead of time. The book was a wonderful historical romance and worth the read!

One of the first lines in a whole paragraph of things said about this story is the one that stands out the most and applies to this Novel are captivating tale and opulent backdrop. I thought it had both. I think the author really did her research about the subject matter in this book and she sounded very knowledgeable. I really love a deep, humorous, steamy, heart squeezing romance full of banter between the main characters, and there was all of that. Plus we get to hear from both of the main characters which is my favorite way to read romances so we know what they are both thinking. I didn’t think I was going to enjoy the female main character because at first she seemed very prudish, and a little shallow. I was a bit confused who was actually speaking at first, but I’m glad that impression was not the overall feel throughout. I started with this, book three, but I think I’m going back to read the rest of the series.

This is the 3rd book in The Winemakers Series. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone, however I feel once you read one you will want to read them all. This is a historical romance, enemies to lovers story. I love the chemistry between our main characters as they seem to play a cat and mouse game with each other. I also love the fire in Isabel, she is a princess but a princess who isn’t afraid to speak her mind which is refreshing for the time period the story is set in. This story has so many beautiful elements from the characters themselves to the authors amazing writing which transports the reader back in time and describes the places so vividly it feels like you are there. If you like historical romances full of twists and turns, a little danger, a sense of doing your duty and what is expected of you along with secrets and hidden agendas to uncover this book has something for everyone.

The Truth About Myths (The Winemakers Book 3) by Giovanna Siniscalchi. This is such a good Historical romance, I really enjoyed it. Its the story of Princess Isabel who is very rigid almost to the point of being a prude but when she goes to Spain with Viscount Henrique she is very enthralled by him. He is so sexy and everything she has tried to stay away from. Henrique is tasked with taking Isabel who is his best friends sister and he is not looking forward to it. He is known for being a rake and not being faithful but when he gets to know Isabel he thinks she might be able to change his ways. Isabel is so rigid and wants to do what is right for her country and Henrique is all about living life to the fullest. He does admire Isabel and the chemistry between them is remarkable. The author’s description of the beautiful scenery made me feel as if I was transported to Spain and Portugal. This can be read as a standalone as well.

The True Purpose Of Vines (The Winemakers) by Giovanna Siniscalchi- 4 out of 5 stars
This historical romance will take you back to a Victorian era setting. The attention to detail that this author wrote was amazing. You are taught so much about the whole process of making wine and port, so much so that it had me wanting to pour myself a tall glass of wine out of respect. This book has such a unique way about it. If you are into Victorian Era Mysteries than this book will intrigue you.

The Taste Of Light (The Winemakers) by Giovanna Siniscalchi- 5 out of 5 stars
Who would have ever thought that Pedro could redeem himself after the last book; I would have called them crazy. But, he is redeemable! Oh my, he is so redeemable. I can’t get him out of my head. I absolutely loved learning more about his character, what motivated him, and what molded him from the person we used to know into the man he is now. I recommend this series.

I have really enjoyed this series and visiting new places in my books. This is the third book in the series and follows some new characters. Isabel is the princess of Portugal and loves her country. Her brother, the king, sends her off to visit her cousin and find out what is happening in Spain. Henrique is selling his land and moving out of the country, but agrees to accompany the sister of his good friend (the king) to Spain. Henrique is witty and charming and knows how to woo the ladies. Isabel has been protected and doesn’t agree with his philandering, but she sees a different man underneath the façade. In Spain, they are busy with many events planned by her cousin, but also in a lot of political meetings. The true king of Spain is invited to the palace and tries to sweep Isabel off her feet in order to get back to his rightful throne. The story kept me guessing and I learned so much about life in the 1800s.

Very well written and I can picture beautiful place in Portugal and Spain….The Truth About Myths is book 3 in The Winemakers series. I really enjoy this series and though this book could be read as a standalone…I would highly recommend reading this series in order. The author is fabulous and her storytelling is amazing. The romance, tension and banter between Henrique and Isabel…I loved it.
When Isabel is asked by the King to go to Spain to help out….it is her duty to do so. What is not anticipated is who is accompanying her….none other than Henrique….which at first was a bit trying. Knowing how proper and set in her ways Isabel is….will she be able to let a bit go and see another side to Henrique and will he fight for her?
Delightful and Wonderful story. I highly recommend this series.
