ABOUT THE BOOK:
From USA Today bestselling author Jan Moran comes a riveting novella that’s as rich and irresistible as a fine cabernet wine.
Napa Valley, 1956: Years ago, after Juliana Cardona’s fiancé was killed in an army ambush, she didn’t know if she could ever find the strength to risk love again. Now Juliana, who has a passion for winemaking, is determined to build her own business as a wine publicist and create an independent life.
But when Juliana holds a press event in San Francisco, she meets a mysterious winemaker, Henri Laurent, who is everything she never thought she’d find again. However, Juliana is shocked to discover that Henri is hiding a long-buried secret that threatens to devastate their budding relationship.
In order to find happiness and the life she’d once thought was gone forever, she must find the strength to uncover tragedies and face the troubled past with the man she loves—but only if her heart can risk the chance of love once more.
This is a companion novella to The Winemakers, a full-length historical romance novel.

So what's new? Look for the new SEABREEZE SHORES. I'm also thrilled to share that SEABREEZE BOOK CLUB and CORAL COTTAGE made the USA Today bestseller list, so we've been celebrating. Besides my women's fiction beach series, I also write 20th-century historical sagas with a touch of romance.

Each book is a mini-vacay, starting with Paris in FLAWLESS, Spain in BEAUTY MARK, Malibu and Ireland in RUNWAY, and three more fun locales. These are also widely available on audio Audible, Apple, and Amazon, as well as Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

MY REVIEW:
Life is a Cabernet: A Wine Country Novella (Heartwarming Family Sagas - Stand-Alone Fiction) by Jan Moran
This story starts with Julianna and she's organized the gala from the list of local owners of wineries. She has hopes to not only get more work for herself as advertising is her career, but to also get donations for a children's hospital effort.
Story also follow Henri and he owns a vineyard but is very recluse, stays out of the limelight.
She knew that he had lost his wife and she had lost her spouse to be also just days before he returned from the war.
She gets along jsut fine with Henri and his children but knows nothing about him as a man. He's misunderstood and she runs back to the hotel for the night . Next day she finds out a lot more about him from the local prist and she needs to hear things from him.
What I love about this book is the knowledge of vineyards and wines they produce and the important aspects of smell, taste, swirl, legs, etc. Also like how she handles his fears, nighttime terrors and how she can help him.
Love dancing, food, sights, down time and future as she now understands about his marriage and the girls....
Super descriptive words and love Irish Fisherman Sweater, I make them and know how startling one looks wearing them. Patterns speak about who they really are.
Can't wait to read more from this author. Book has acknowledgments and authors other works. beach series sounds SO fun.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
