Synopsis:Shelby Leigh
I love food. I love everything about it.
My dream has always been to land a job with the Food Network channel, and I’ve spent years as a food critic, blogger, and chef, tasting my way across the South to develop recipes that are a twist on the classics and uniquely my own. When a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes calling, I’m shocked to discover I’ve been paired with him, the worst blind date ever—bless his heart, and I’m determined not to let anyone get in my way. So, I buckle my designer heels, tighten my apron, and vow to myself there’s nothing in his playbook that’s going to stop me from tasting success.
Zach Wolff
I love wine. It is my life.
What I hate are critics. I hate everything about their dream-killing souls and elitist attitudes. So, when she shows up in the tasting room of my winery in northern Georgia, the devil in disguise wearing a pair of long legs and beautiful hazel eyes, I know just the plan to make and how to use her to get what I want. What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her, because in the end, I will win. I always do.
Two weeks. His wine. Her recipes. A feature article in a special issue of a world-renowned magazine. Pairing wine with food is one thing, but two hearts is another.

I didn't know much about wine going into this book so it was interesting to learn about the process of making it, etc. through Zach. I did find that it got to be a bit much at times. I found myself being buried under wine facts and figures when I wanted to know more about other things related to the story. I would have liked to have learned more about Shelby and what made her so passionate about having a Food Network show.
Although, this book doesn't break new ground in the contemporary romance genre, I still found myself thoroughly enjoying the story and characters.
The pacing of the book was good although there were times where it felt a bit drawn out. I believe that this may have been because of some of the back and forth between the characters wherein it felt like they were going around in circles. It may have made the book appear to be drawn out at certain points while the pacing remained the same.
I'm not sure that I cared for the process of how the conflict was resolved by the end of the book. There were points made by secondary characters that I didn't agree with which irked me but I can see where the author was going with the dialogue and why she made certain choices with the direction of the book.
