Summary

Best-selling children's book writer Angelica is amused and flattered at the attention of Jack, the owner of a vineyard in South Africa, whom she meets at a dinner party. With his easy charm and reputation as a ladies' man, Jack makes her feel good about herself - surely it can't do any harm to indulge in a mild email flirtation?

Wonderful

This is is a must to read book. I was smiling and laughing through this book, which was enhanced by the fabulous reading of Jilly Bond. I was able to visualise the story as it was laid out. Highly recommend this book

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Beautifully constructed, it flowed perfectly; and I lost myself in the characters and plot. Highly recommend, it made me laugh out loud in parts! Going to listen to another Santa Montefiore novel... Blissful!

Worth a listen as it was free

I wouldn’t waste a credit though.
The story was good but the narrators South African accent was so incredibly annoying, I nearly had to abandon listening. Not one of her best stories and found myself disliking the main character intensely for getting involved with another woman’s husband. Rich bored housewife

Intelligent ish

I didn't like the lead character. Found the love element unconvincing... good bits but for me it just didn't ring true

Took some effort to Finish

This wasn't my favourite by the author and I found myself wondering whether I'd ever get to the end. I did stick with it, but can't really say I enjoyed it and it was worth the effort.

Not as good as her others.

Some of the Characters were irritating and some of the storyline was a little silly.
