Starting over at the vineyard in Alsace

Yet another successful story from Julie. She has managed to go back for Lottie and Thierry, each with their own stories, but bringing them together with all the ups and downs a real relationship would face.

It was lovely to be back in Alsace again, the descriptions of the town, vineyard, chateau make you feel as though you are there. The French phrases used also give the story authenticity.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and cannot wait for the next book. Congratulations.

Great to be back at the Vineyard in Alsace, but I was left wanting more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2020

This is the second book in the Vineyard in Alsace series by Julie Stock and I was over the moon to be back at the Domaine des Montagnes where, in book one, we had left Didier and Fran rekindling their relationship. Fran is still working on the new visitors centre at Didier’s family vineyard, alongside the winemaking and restoring the Chateau. This book focusses on Fran’s sister Lottie, who is just about to have her first baby and is learning how to adjust to a lot of change in her life.

Thrown into single motherhood whilst still mending her broken heart, Lottie is determined not to be reliant on any man, ever again, despite tentatively starting a relationship with vineyard winemaker Thierry. Things are moving at quite a pace for Thierry too. He is still grieving, and blaming himself, for his wife’s death two years ago but doesn’t want to repeat his previous mistakes and lose a chance of happiness with Lottie. This book is a rollercoaster of female hormones and emotions as Lottie, and those around her, get to grips with pregnancy, a new baby, new relationships and trust issues.

There were times when I wanted to knock some sense into Lottie, but I loved following their emotional journey, all the time keeping my fingers crossed they’d find a way forward, and together. Fran is always on hand to support her sister, even while going through a tough, emotional time herself as she and Didier plan their vineyard wedding. This book does cover some difficult and sensitive issues in places, handled in a thoughtful and compassionate way.

The vineyard itself provides a constant, grounding backdrop to the drama. The daily inspections of the vines, the changing of the seasons, the issues of weather and disease, all help to keep a focus and calm a troubled mind. It was a great reminder that taking a walk outdoors can be a real benefit to the mind and body when things around you get tough.

I really enjoyed being back at the vineyard in Alsace, and this book has left me wanting more. I do hope there will be a third book in this series in the future.

An engaging story with a lovely setting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2020

There was a lot I very much enjoyed about this book – the setting is particularly strongly drawn with the vineyards changing through the season, planning for the visitor centre well advanced, and the chateau in the throes of renovation, and the whole book has an excellent sense of place.

I will admit though that I’m rather sorry I started with the second in a series: although it’s a standalone, I really do think you might enjoy this book more if you first read The Vineyard in Alsace. I did struggle a little at first with the relationships between the characters, until I decided it really didn’t matter – I could just enjoy the story of Lottie and Thierry and let everything else become background.

And I really did enjoy watching that relationship develop. At the start of the book, Lottie is heavily pregnant and concerned about the future: Thierry is more than happy to take her on, although the child isn’t his, but he does have some major issues of his own that might stand in the way of the hoped for happy ending. He is carrying a lot of guilt about the death of his wife two years earlier, and his grief is still very raw.

Meanwhile Lottie appears to be intent in rejecting everything he tries to do to help her – I really felt for Thierry, and I did find Lottie particularly difficult to like. But her worries about impending motherhood are very well done, and I did warm to her rather more when seeing her in the context of her family – and even more when she became a mother herself.

The supporting characters were very well drawn too – I particularly liked Ellie, and I’d like to see her at the heart of a future story so I could get to know her better.

In essence, this was an engaging story about two damaged people needing to overcome their problems and learn to trust each other before they can move forward. There aren’t many laughs, but I didn’t expect them, and the emotional content is very well handled – and the author’s writing, particularly in the way she gets beneath the skin and into the thoughts of her two main characters by exposing both their viewpoints, is as excellent as ever.
