Hi everyone! Today’s Preview is from one of my favourite authors, Susan Mallery. I can count on her books having strong female characters and a story set in interesting locations. The Vineyard at Painted Moon is set in a wine region in Washington State.<\/p>\n

Synopsis from the Publisher:<\/u><\/b>

“Already a worldwide success in mass market and trade paperback formats, #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery\u2019s brand new hardcover is a powerful editorial shift for her. In The Vineyard at Painted Moon, Mallery tells the emotional and heartfelt story of a woman who must rebuild her life after a painful divorce strips of her of the only family she’s ever really known and the job that has given her life meaning in order to finally follow her dreams.<\/p>\n

MacKenzie Dienes\u2019s life isn\u2019t perfect, but it\u2019s as close as she could ever hope to get. Her marriage to Rhys, her best friend\u2019s brother, is more friendship than true love. But passion is highly overrated, right? And she loves her job as the winemaker at Bel Apres, her in-laws\u2019 vineyard. So what if it\u2019s a family business and, even after decades of marriage and incredible professional success, she\u2019s still barred from the family business meetings? It\u2019s all enough\u2026until one last night spent together leads to an incredibly honest\u2014and painful\u2014conversation. Rhys suggests that they divorce. They haven\u2019t had a marriage in a long time and, while he wants her to keep her job at Bel Apres, he doesn\u2019t think they should be married any longer. Shocked, MacKenzie reels at the prospect of losing the only family she\u2019s ever really known\u2026even though she knows deep in her heart that Rhys is right.<\/p>\n

But when MacKenzie discovers she\u2019s pregnant, walking away to begin a new life isn\u2019t so easy. She never could have anticipated the changes it would bring to the relationships she cherishes most: her relationship with Barbara, her mother-in-law and partner at Bel Apres, Stephanie, her sister-in-law and best friend, and Bel Apres, the company she\u2019s worked so hard to put on the map.<\/p>\n

MacKenzie has always dreamed of creating a vineyard of her own, a chance to leave a legacy for her unborn child. So when the opportunity arises, she jumps at it and builds the Vineyard at Painted Moon. But following her dreams will come at a high price\u2014one that MacKenzie isn\u2019t so sure she\u2019s willing to pay\u2026”.<\/i><\/p>\n

Doesn’t this sound like a great read? I can picture myself reading this with a glass of wine! Look for my review of the book here on it’s February 9\/21 publication date.<\/p>\n

Add The Vineyard at Painted Moon to your Goodreads shelf<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you have a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
