From Goodreads
For fans of The Paradise Problem, a jet-setting romance about a socialite in over her head in a high-stakes job promoting a new sparkling wine with a difficult boss who wants to see her fail—despite the electric sparks flying between them.
Catherine Reynolds has enjoyed a life of luxury, but her diplomat parents have cut her off financially, leaving her flat broke. She is determined to turn things around and gain her independence—so, when an old family friend offers her a lifeline as a PR consultant for his sparkling wine company, she jumps at the chance. But working with Chris McDermott, the company’s no-nonsense president, is anything but easy.
A purist at heart, Chris clashes with Catherine’s glitzy marketing flair; still, the chemistry between them is undeniable. As they travel from New York to Napa, Paris, and the Champagne region of France, their partnership blossoms amid high-stakes industry rivalries and a launch that could make or break them.
When sabotage threatens to shatter their dreams, Catherine must dig deep to prove her worth. With the dazzling unveiling of their new sparkling wine in Bordeaux in jeopardy, will she and Chris overcome the challenges of the past and present to secure their future—and find love in the process?
My thoughts
My thanks to the Publishers via NetGalley for a copy of this debut story by Caroline O'Connell.
Catherine comes from a family that have diplomatic connections and financial security. For some reason they have cut her off financially and made things harder for her, causing her to find ways to provide for herself in life and not rely on them. As a result of this she jumps at the chance she is offered of working for an old family friend as a PR consultant for his wine company.
Can these old friends keep things to a working relationship or will fate have plans that see them developing into more than just work colleagues?
I enjoyed the story of the developing work relationship between Catherine Reynolds and Chris McDermott, it's not long before the relationship begins to take on more than jus a working relationship. Their personalities clash at times though and things happen that may cause issues for his company and how it progresses in the wine industry.
Can he put all his trust in Catherine or is she trying to sabotage things for his company?
This was a great debut novel to escape into and I will look out for more by this author.
