The Vineyard at Painted Moon

January 1, 2021
On the night of the annual Summer Solstice Party, Mackenzie and Rhys Dienes realize that their marriage is over. They had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for the past five years, and sex is a distant memory. Seeing the passion of Rhys' mother, Barbara, and her new fianc�e on display helps them finally acknowledge the truth. For Mackenzie, this decision is devastating because she loses not just her husband, but also possibly her job. Mackenzie is the winemaker for Bel Apr�s, Rhys' family winery that Barbara runs with an iron fist. Even though Mackenzie has helped make the winery a great success, she knows that the divorce will change everything. What she doesn't know is how much the divorce will change her life for the better. Mallery is an expert at writing about strong women, their friendships, and their romances. This book has all of these elements, and, while readers may find it hard to sympathize with Mackenzie's privileged life, and Rhys is unfairly villainized, the friendships in the book are warmth and realistic, as Mallery's many fans will expect.
