Kate Corbin has lost her spark. A year ago, she had a handsome boyfriend and a budding career as a reporter at a popular Chicago newspaper. But after the woman who raised her passed away, leaving her lost and alone, she fell into a rut—and never got out. Now she’s stuck writing fluff pieces about lipstick and wine, and feeling trapped in a relationship that’s going nowhere.
Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, Kate’s boss and mentor gives her the opportunity to jump-start her career. The assignment: spend a week interviewing R. J. Lawson, a famously reclusive tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as the owner of a well-respected Napa Valley winery.
Kate jumps at the chance, but the trip begins in disaster, both personally and professionally. After alienating R.J., her only saving grace is Jamie, a charming vineyard hand who shows her the beauty of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. It doesn’t take long for Kate and Jamie to fall hard, and for Kate to rethink her life in the city. But the week ends with a heartbreaking journey back to Chicago that sends Kate reeling, wondering what went wrong in those four perfect days.
Renee Carlino, author of 'Sweet Thing' and 'Sweet Little Thing' has blown me away, and left me with a great big book hangover, after reading 'Nowhere But Here'.
I was hooked from the start and couldn't put it down until I finished. The characters are so real, my heart ached for newspaper reporter, Kate, as she believes that she is better off alone. As for Jamie, well, what can I say, I fell in love with him from the word go. The supporting characters are perfect and by the end of the book, I felt like I had actually met them and knew them well. Renee has written this book in the finest detail. The scenery in the country and the city, both had me picturing these places exactly in my mind, and I long to go and visit the wine countries in Napa Valley if they are anything like this.
This story has lots of twists and turns, and it shocked me on more than one occasion with things that I didn't expect to happen.Just when I'd tell myself, I'd go to bed after the next chapter, Renee would add another piece to keep my reading till all hours of the night.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
I have never done it before, but, 'Nowhere But Here' gets a
6 star's rating for me. LOVED IT!
