Jeff Morgan is rebuilding his life; Zach Brown is trying to keep his from falling apart.

After being disowned by his parents Jeff leaves the city to start over again, hoping to reinvent himself as a winemaker in the small town of Hollyridge. Why not dream big?

Zach is struggling to keep his boutique winery afloat and the summer intern is one more body which will help that happen—and oh, what a body. The only thing is, he’s sworn off men.

Until he met Zach Brown Jeff knew he was gay—but he’d never kissed a man.

One look at Jeff, and Zach knew it was going to be a long, hard summer.

Jeff doesn't know much about wine and even less about love but maybe he's just what Zach needs to save his winery and heal his wounded heart.

A standalone in the Home in Hollyridge series, a dual POV about a man learning to live his own life; and a winemaker who needs a little help from a friend. 24k words.

Sweet, low-angst novella.

Damn, what great chemistry! And then not. And then again!

Struggling winery owner Zach and clumsy intern Jeff have a steamy hookup when they first meet, only to both realize what a not-good idea that is (and thank you for touching on the problem with bosses sexing up even consenting interns). The book then skims over the next 2 months of them working together and yet avoiding each other, but it's unclear about just how they managed this.

I loved the parts of their relationship that showed up on the page, I just wanted more of it. The brief look at Jeff’s mishaps wasn’t enough, especially after that final calamity (Jeff is NOT made for the winery business, big time). As it stood, Zach just seemed to calm down way too quickly.

This is Book 2 of the Home in Hollyridge series, but Jeff’s HEA with grumpy sweetheart Zach delivers a lot of warm fuzzies as a stand-alone. However, read book 1 first if you want more insight into Jeff’s backstory; it definitely raised the satisfaction factor of Jeff and Zach’s romance for me.

Copy received for an honest review.

This was another light and fluffy little story. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend picking up the first in the series first. Jeff and Zach were good MCs. I loved that Jeff wasn’t a very good intern. I liked Zach, but I thought that he was kind of dumb letting first David and then Jeff have access and control of all of his accounts. Not a really bright thing for him to do. Still, this was an enjoyable little read.

Finding His Place

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2020

After being disowned by his parents – they had even changed the locks on the doors -- Jeff Morgan quit his account manager bank job in Seattle and left to start over again, just assigned to his summer internship at Caesura Winery, to reinvent himself as a winemaker in the small town of Hollyridge. The winery was impressive, an old airport hangar that the owner had divided up cleverly to make his winery. Artful canvases hung from the ceiling displaying local hills and valleys of Eastern Washington. The artist was extremely talented. Jeff moved on toward the sound of voices and heard two men arguing – breaking up, actually. Jeff backed away slowly, not sure if he should leave or wait. Zach stepped out and snarled at him about what he wanted? When the other guy, David, came out, the fight started again and David accused Zach of having Jeff there as his replacement boyfriend! So Jeff apologized for his bad timing and left the building.

Zach Brown is struggling to keep his winery going and the summer intern is one more body which could have helped that happen. Losing David made it even tougher, because David had done some of the bookkeeping and now Zach would need to take the time for the hated paperwork. And they were short one worker, although David didn’t really do much in the fields, and the intern may be gone. He went to his friends’ Blue Mountain Winery tasting room and told Jaime about his awful day. And just then, Jeff and his friends Rory and Brett walked in. Jaime offered to matchmake him with Jeff, but Zach has sworn off men and realized Jeff was his “former” intern! He was embarrassed enough. But Jaime was determined and she served wine to the guys at the table and asked Jeff to come re-meet Zach and start things over. Zach was grateful that Jeff would be coming back the next morning for his tour.

Jeff doesn't know much about wine yet and even less about love, having never even kissed a guy, but maybe Jeff is just what Zach needs to save his winery and heal his wounded heart. Jeff already felt that Zach was the one he had been waiting for all his life. Zach felt very protective of Jeff. Neither of them wanted a random hookup; they both craved commitment. But neither had said anything to the other. Was this the start of something each may have been looking for? Or would Zach’s being his boss make it impossible?

Sweet and light

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020

I'd rate this as a 3.5 rounded up to 4, which isn't bad for a short work. It was sweet & sexy and pretty low in angst. I liked Jeff & Zach and their friends; I wouldn't have minded spending more time with both of them & the rest of the cast, (except Zach's evil ex, who is so evil that I can't see how he could've ever been Zach's boyfriend in the first place). I think Jeff and Zach balanced each other well too. Zach was a force of nature, ambitious and full of sky high dreams, but was not terribly good at the boring side of making a business happen. Jeff was a mathematical business person, not great at working in nature, but still wanting something more than just numbers in his life.
I do think that the physical aspect of their relationship went too quickly, but months were given to the full story, so it was not all insta-love. The way weeks and months passed by also made the resolution of other aspects of their lives a bit more believable. More details could have been given, with periods of time not summarized in the way they're often done in short works, but it didn't feel absolutely necessary.
This was the first book I've read by Elle Keaton & I plan on reading the first of this series and hope to read more beyond that.

Very Enjoyable Read.

When I had a chance to read this for free I didn't realize it was book 2 of a series, but I don't think it affects the reading at all. Although Jeff was in the first book, along with the awful parents, it was mainly about his friend Rory. Anyway, this was a really enjoyable story, two sweet, similarly minded men with instant attraction - I love that, and an age gap romance - I love that too, Jeff and Zach made for a lovely short read, and, of course, Jura the dog, who manages to save the day. I'm not a wine connoisseur but I do enjoy wine, this made it all the more interesting for me.
