Title: Secretly Yours

Series: A Vine Mess #1

Author: Tessa Bailey

Hallie Welch fell hard for Julian Vos at fourteen, after they almost kissed in the dark vineyards of his family’s winery. Now the prodigal hottie has returned to their small town. When Hallie is hired to revamp the gardens on the Vos estate, she wonders if she’ll finally get that smooch. But the grumpy professor isn’t the teenager she remembers and their polar opposite personalities clash spectacularly. One wine-fueled girls’ night later, Hallie can’t shake the sense that she did something reckless–and then she remembers the drunken secret admirer letter she left for Julian. Oh shit.

On sabbatical from his ivy league job, Julian plans to write a novel. But having Hallie gardening right outside his window is the ultimate distraction. She’s eccentric, chronically late, often literally covered in dirt–and so unbelievably beautiful, he can’t focus on anything else. Until he finds an anonymous letter sent by a woman from his past. Even as Julian wonders about this admirer, he’s sucked further into Hallie’s orbit. Like the flowers she plants all over town, Hallie is a burst of color in Julian’s gray-scale life. For a man who irons his socks and runs on tight schedules, her sunny chaotic energy makes zero sense. But there’s something so familiar about her… and her very presence is turning his world upside down.

Well I absolutely loved this!

Hallie and Julian have unfinished business but one party doesn’t necessarily remember! They are polar opposites but the attraction is real!

Ooooo this had so many spicy moments that I had to fan myself! Julian is magnificent! Utterly magnificent!!! And utterly filthy! And, as usual, I also fell in love with the bestie, Lavinia. Loved her.

Also I love it when a book makes me feel, I personally think that is the mark of a great book.
This book made me feel!!! It made me mad that even though they were more (self-confessed) honest with each other than they were with anyone else, they still weren’t totally honest! The mark of a great book and I guess if they had then the book would’ve been really small. Would’ve saved my blood pressure though!!!!!

You need this book in your life! It was cute, schexy and sweet!
