Will the price of being together prove too high to pay?Midnight Wine is a forbidden romance that explores the collision between ordinary life and extraordinary fame.
Very good first book of the new "Maiden Voyage" series. Now I need more, much more. How will Lindsay and Maddie's story continue? What new adventures will the crew have? And the captain? Mmm...
4 stars. Always excited for new Lise Gold and this novella was so worth the read. Just a lovely little romance between a chef and a famous actress going through a huge scandal. It’s also a toaster oven romance and it takes place on a cruise ship. Maddie and Lindsay were both incredibly likable characters and I loved the chemistry between them. So romantic. I thought the side characters were fun as well and I can’t wait for book two.
Short Novella but first in a promising series, with inevitable brick wall ending. Fun, out of 4*s as not a full book. Will look at the rest of series.
