Home Sweet Sonoma

Home Sweet Home Trilogy, Book 1

By: Georgia James, Deborah Parrish

Narrated by: Samara Naeymi

She's savvy and sharp, and loves her fast-paced city life. But whether she's ready or not, Kitty Taylor is about to find herself stopping to smell the roses.

Superstitious, type-A executive Catherine "Kitty" Taylor is about to celebrate the greatest achievement of her career with her brilliant lover-lawyer Nick Dylan at her side. But when bad news hits the office, Nick races to New York to salvage the deal of a lifetime, forcing their personal lives to take a back seat, yet again.

With life in limbo, an omen compels Kitty to follow a chain of events, luring her to the wine country to celebrate her mother's 70th birthday. But as she steps foot in the door, she witnesses an event which proves that magic doesn’t really exist, after all. Stuck in a crumbling old church that her mother calls home, Kitty is faced with a vineyard bursting with ripe fruit and must learn to nurture her feminine side, one grape at a time.

Luckily, her mother’s rock-solid handyman, Daine Shepherd, who lives on the property, is just the one to help her do it. As Kitty resists, he gently persists, and their attraction grows by the day. She is not only forced to reconsider her relationship with Nick but also her urban lifestyle with all its fringe benefits.

Dwelling in the luscious and slow wine country, she finds herself looking in all kinds of surprising places for the love she didn’t even realize she needed. This wine-country romance goes best with a glass of Chardonnay, so kick back, relax, and follow Kitty on a soulful journey where she learns to trust her instincts and discover what she most wants out of life.

Picture perfect

Fell in love with Somoma while listening. Illustrative & keeps you engaged to the end; tied up in a nice neat bow.

A great story with great characters!

This is a story told with love through and through. Brought to life by characters who are very well thought out and very well developed. They manage to both grow and remain true to themselves throughout the piece. As the title may suggest the settings of the book are themselves pretty big characters within the book and the authors did a wonderful job of making you fall as much in love with them as much as any other characters. Even if you're not familiar with northern California you'll find humanity and heart in these pages. It's hard to believe that this is a first novel and I cannot wait to see what comes next!
