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.

An ok read. A lack of understanding between main characters became slightly tedious.

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.

A delight to read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2020

I read the synopsis for 'Starting Over At The Vineyard In Alsace' and it certainly sounded like an interesting read. When I agreed to take part in the blog tour for this book, I hadn't actually realised that it was actually the second book in the 'Domaine des Montagnes' series. So I eagerly started to read. Oh boy, I loved this book but more about that in a bit.
I loved the characters of Lottie and Thierry. In their own ways, they are both suffering in a sense. In Lottie's case she is pregnant and the baby's father did a runner when he found out. Lottie finds the whole idea of being a single mother quite daunting, which is understandable. Lottie also seems to have trust issues and I got the impression that she is still emotionally scarred by her experiences. She is in love with Thierry but she doesn't seem to want to get too close to him and depend on him. Thierry is in love with Lottie but he is still mourning the loss of his wife. I don't think he has grieved properly for her and he needs some kind of therapy to deal with his loss. So we have two emotionally scarred people, who are wary of getting too close but they are madly in love with each other. Will they find a way to deal with their respective issues? Will they have the 'happy ever after ending' that they so deserve? Well for the answers to those questions and so much more you are just going to have to read the book for yourselves to find out as I am not going to tell you.
It didn't take me long to get into this story. In fact by the time I got to the end of the first few pages I was hooked. From then onwards, to say that reading 'Starting Over At The Vineyard In Alsace' became an addiction seems a huge understatement. I was so taken with the characters of Lottie and Thierry that I needed to know what happened to them. If I had to put the book down for any reason, then I would immediately look forward to being able to pick the book up again so that I could immerse myself into the lives of Lottie and Thierry. The pages turned increasingly quickly as my desperation to find out what happened just grew and grew. All too quickly I reached the end of the story and I had to bid farewell to the characters. I soon cheered up though when I realised that I had the first book in the series to catch up on.
'Starting Over At The Vineyard In Alsace' is extremely well written. The author has an easy going writing style, which reads more like a chat between friends than an actual book. I hope that makes sense. Julie grabbed my attention from the start and drew me into the story. She writes so realistically and vividly that I actually felt as though I was part of the story myself. I loved the sound of the area in which the story is set. In fact if I shut my eyes and had the sun beating down on my face, it would've been easy to imagine that I was right there in Alsace myself. I also loved the little bits of French dialogue and I even had to say them out loud. I know that makes me sound like a huge nerd, but I studied French at 'A-Level' and I haven't used it since the day I left college 23 years ago. I was gripped by the story from start to finish.
In short, I really enjoyed reading 'Starting Over At The Vineyard In Alsace' and I would recommend this book to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Julie's work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 4* out of 5*.
