So Good

Charming story about moving beyond our own personal obstacles and allowing ourselves to love and be loved.

I'm sorry. It just did not pull me in and I lost interest. Perhaps because I'm not a wine drinker?

A quick read that gives hope that there are still noble men in the world. Broken hearts can be mended. Cam and Brooke deserve happily ever after!

So Good explained what Brooke was living thru knowing she may never be a Mom and how Cam could not trust due to a bad romance earlier in his life. Their journey to their HEA was inspiring.

The heroine was truly so self absorbed that I only made it through half this book. As a reader who usually goes through a minimum of one book a day, this one took me three days to get through 1/2 of it. I gave up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I loved returning to Ribbon Ridge with Cam and Brooke. This was a very touching story of Brooke's challenges and Cam's determination to overcome them. It also was great to see the Winery as it progressed. Darcy Burke kept us up to date on all of the Archer family members. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I highly recommend this book.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed getting to visit Ribbon Ridge again and getting a glimpse into a few of the Archer family’s lives down the road through this new series! We’re starting on a delve into the hunky Westcott men’s stories, and since Cameron is best friends and in business with Hayden Archer, it’s still a great connection to the ever loving family that we all fell for over the years! Darcy has woven a great story here … two hearts who have been stomped on in the past, finding their way to each other and deciding to take a chance again. Loved it! Cameron Westcott doesn’t necessarily consider himself a player … he does love his women, but he’s always up front about what he’s looking for. For once his reputation is biting him where it hurts when he meets a gorgeous woman that he’s interested in and she shoots him down instantly. Brooke Ellis is new to Ribbon Ridge and on the mend from a hurtful divorce, so she’s definitely NOT looking for another womanizer! She can’t deny that she finds Cam attractive though … and she’s in love with the wine his company is producing! Will she actually be the one that makes Cam decide to take a chance on putting his heart out there again?

So Good...should have been called So Great! After enjoying my time in Ribbon Ridge six times over, I was thrilled that the town and its citizens would continue to live on in the Love on the Vine. Cam Westcott has a playboy reputation...okay, his brothers and friends call him a manwhore! But we don't see that behavior in the book, so I tend to over look that...I prefer to think he's a charming rogue. His verbal sparing with Brooke, the new-in-town wine distributor, underscore a fun and sexy chemistry that explodes from their first interaction. But they both have secrets, and that's where the story stuttered for me a bit. Brooke blew hot and cold and sent Cam a lot of mixed signals by not sharing her feelings about this secret. So while I was rooting for them both, I did want to slap Brooke! It was great to see the Archer family and I look forward to more interactions with them in future books. I can't wait to read Luke's book next! I received an ARC for an honest review...all thought are my own

I'm so happy to be returning to Ribbon Ridge with this spin off series - Love on the Vine. This book is a perfect start to that series. It has everything I loved about the Ribbon Ridge stories, quaint small town, family, great characters with passion. I also really enjoy the low angst, laid back feel of the stories Darcy Burke gives us in her contemporary writings. Cameron Westcott and Brooke Ellis have both dealt with relationships gone bad and neither intends to try it again. Light, fun, no strings is all they're looking for now. Until suddenly what starts as just a little fun begins to feel like a whole lot more. A book for the must read list. I highly recommend it.

From time to time, when I finish a book and put it down, I feel like the character's lives are moving on without me, and I'm missing something. So is the case with So Good by Darcy Burke. Fans of Ribbon Ridge will love how this book picks up where the Ribbon Ridge series leaves off, but readers new to the Willamette Valley will easily pick up So Good and fall in love with Cam and Brooke as I did. Cam and Brooke are both dealing with the emotional fallout of previous relationships and their relationship has a lot of push and pull before and AFTER they get together. Neither of them can decide whether they want to act on what they agree is a smoking hot attraction and it's fun to watch them struggle. BUT, there were several times that I wanted to reach into the pages of the book and smack Brooke and say, "What are you thinking?" As the truth about Brooke's background comes out, the book takes a bit of an emotional turn but I love how Cam handles what Brooke has said to him and how he chooses to react to that information. That was a perfect reaction, just the one she needed. I'll go to bed tonight dreaming about Cam and wishing for my own Westcott - there are still two single brothers, after all! Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
