Synopsis: Cammie Breyer needs a big glass of cabernet - her restaurant failed and her chef boyfriend left for a hotter kitchen. Just when she thinks she's hit rock bottom, her Aunt Ginger calls with a surprise. She's bought a vineyard - in Delaware. At Ginger's command, Cammie returns to Black Dog Bay, the seaside town where she spent her childhood summers with her aunt and cousin, Kat.

The three women reunite, determined to succeed. There's only one problem: none of them knows the first thing about wine making. And it turns out, owning a vineyard isn't all wine and roses. It's dirt, sweat, and desperation. Every day brings financial pitfalls, unruly tourists, romantic dilemmas, and second thoughts. But even as they struggle, they cultivate hidden talents and new passions. While the grapes ripen under the summer sun, Cammie discovers that love, like wine, is layered, complex, delicious, and worth waiting for. . .

Review: I didn't enjoy this book as much as I have others in the series. There was just something missing. It was cute, but I lacked a connection with the characters. I had even wondered if I was starting to lose interest in the series; if it was growing stale. I'm happy to report the fifth book sucked me right in so it seems this novel just wasn't on par with the plot/characters of the others in this series.
