The Secret Vineyard

By: Loretta Hill

Narrated by: Jennifer Vuletic

Single mum Grace has no plans – and no spare time – to fall in love again. Until she moves to her ex-husband's secret vineyard ... Grace Middleton knew that her ex-husband Jake was a lying, cheating, wife-abandoning bastard. What she didn’t know – until his untimely death – was that he was also the owner of a secret vineyard in the heart of the Margaret River wine region. And, much to the chagrin of his new wife, he’s left the property to Grace's three young sons. With the intention of putting it up for sale, Grace takes the boys to view Gum Leaf Grove. And immediately finds herself embroiled in mysteries from Jake's past and becomes the accidental target of the resident ‘ghost’. Nowadays Grace believes in love even less than she believes in ghosts. So no-one is more surprised than her when she finds herself caught between two very different men – with secrets of their own ...©2018 Loretta Hill (P)2018 Bolinda Publishing

Critic reviews

''Drama, humour and romance – Hill provides it all ...' (The Sunday Herald Sun)

'If you love a bit of rural Australian Romance and drama, then this is for you' (New Idea)

What a wonderful book!

I loved this book. I'm a fan of Bolinda Audio titles, and figured I'd give this one a go. It was a fantastic listen! What I loved most was how likable a character Grace was. Her boys were rambunctious and funny and likable, too. There were several sub-plots woven throughout, and they all came together perfectly. The narrator did one hell of a job, especially with the boys' voices -- and even managed to pull out a pretty good version of Mitch's "Amazing Grace." I admit, I listened to this book nearly straight through, and I was not disappointed. It's a beautiful story wrapped around old houses, family secrets, ghosts, and love. My favorite kind of story. =) Well done... I look forward to more novels from Ms. Hill.
