Book: Bottled Up by Liberty Stowe
Reviewed by scribsbookshelf
Rating: 5/5
To be in Vogel Springs is always a joy and to be directly invited back was a very welcome surprise. Off the bat, Bottled Up stole my heart because the opening was exactly where I was - at an airport. Unlike August and Delilah, I was not having a good time but mentally I was flying through the pages of their story. Second of all…that UC Davis shoutout had me internally cheering because Go Ags!!! I never thought I’d see the school I attended be mentioned like that so I was overjoyed! But what made me really happy is August and Delilah.
August is a brilliant winemaker and when he’s brought in to Vogel Haüs the tension immediately spikes. He is seemingly so at odds with everyone but he is also very good at his job. On the other hand, there is the beautiful Delilah, who is a pastry chef and returning home to Vogel Springs. Their chance encounter at the airport leads to the start of a beautiful pairing for the small town filled with love and heart. Bottled Up is so beautifully written that I can’t wait to see what’s next for the small town of Vogel Springs.
Thank you to Liberty Stowe, RupertBossier, and NetGalley for the gifted ARC! All opinions are my own.
