I love food. I love everything about it.
My dream has always been to land a job with the Food Network channel,
and I’ve spent years as a food critic, blogger, and chef, tasting my way across
the South to develop recipes that are a twist on the classics and uniquely my
own. When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes calling, I’m shocked to
discover I’ve been paired with him, the worst blind date ever—bless
his heart, and I’m determined not to let anyone get in my way. So, I buckle my
designer heels, tighten my apron, and vow to myself there’s nothing in his
playbook that’s going to stop me from tasting success.

I love wine. It is my life.
What I hate are critics. I hate everything about their dream-killing
souls and elitist attitudes. So, when she shows up in the tasting
room of my winery in northern Georgia, the devil in disguise wearing a pair of
long legs and beautiful hazel eyes, I know just the plan to make and how to use
her to get what I want. What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her, because in the
end, I will win. I always do.
Two weeks.
His wine. Her recipes. A feature article in a special issue of a
world-renowned magazine.
Pairing wine with food is one thing, but two hearts is another. 

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

The Sweetness Of Life is an adorably sweet enemies-to-lovers story. Zack and Shelby didn’t exactly hit it off when they were set up on a blind date, and now, months later, they are paired together for a special magazine article she’ll be writing about his family’s vineyard. Will they be able to set aside their differences and distaste for one another in order to get the job done?

At times, I thought that Zack was being unnecessarily jerky and not giving Shelby a fair chance because she didn’t have anything to do with his prior bad luck with a food blogger. I wish she would have given him a harder time about the game he was playing with her and make him grovel a bit more to win her back. But the overall story was well-developed, the main characters and supporting players were likable, and I loved the coordinating Southern recipes that accompanied the chapters!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
