Jenn has always prided herself on being a city girl – she insists on easy access to good coffee, great food from around the globe, not to mention an easy commute. So, when her job takes her to one of the most famous Italian wine regions in search of the perfect Prosecco, travelling to meetings on a tractor is a bit of a culture shock.
Tiziano hates the city. He was made for the mountains and vineyards of Veneto, and generations of his family have earned their living from the land. But times are changing even in the Italian countryside, and the arrival of Jenn at his grandmother’s B&B opens up a window on a different world.
Jenn has two months to persuade the Prosecco producers to trust her with their business, and Tiziano has one summer to persuade Jenn that there’s more to life than the rat race. But can a city girl and a country boy ever find enough in common to see a future beyond one long summer of sun…

My Review
Jenn Park is a budding wine connoisseur responsible for selecting the finest prosecco for her employer. However, upon arriving in Veneto and witnessing the beauty of the agriturismo, she’s forced to abandon her preconceptions and fully immerse herself in the experience. An introverted and isolated Jenn learns to lean on others, including the dashing tractor-driving grandson of her landlady. Although he consistently points out her flaws and introduces her to the locals, she discovers there’s more to him than just a rural man with a disdain for urban life. As she explores the region, she acquaints herself with the local community and their way of life. Overall, the book offers a delightful summer read with its vivid landscapes and flavors to me.
