and Bouquets series with a sweep-you-off-your-feet
friends-to-lovers romance. Three days before Erin Bellini's
wedding, her fiance breaks up with her...in an email. Hurt and
embarrassed, she turns to veterinarian Jason Callum, who's both the
best man and the hottest guy she knows. But Jason wants a lot more
than just a one-night stand with the woman he's cared about for
years. He's intent on taking things slow, determined to show Erin
what real love can look like. Suddenly Erin finds herself with
feelings she never planned on having again - she just isn't sure
she can trust her instincts. After all, she made a terrible choice
with her ex-fiance. But Jason intends to convince her that he's the
best man for her, and that what they have together is a true love
that will last forever... Want more fun romance? Look out for more
cowboys and weddings in the Boots and Bouquets series and check out

Smell. Taste. Judge. Crush is the 200-year story of the heady dream
that wines as good as the greatest of France could be made in
California. A dream dashed four times in merciless succession until
it was ultimately realized in a stunning blind tasting in Paris. In
that tasting, in the year of America's bicentennial, California
wines took their place as the leading wines of the world. For the
first time, Briscoe tells the complete and dramatic story of the
ascendancy of California wine in vivid detail. He also profiles the
larger story of California itself by looking at it from an entirely
innovative perspective, the state seen through its singular wine
history. With dramatic flair and verve, Briscoe not only recounts
the history of wine and winemaking in California, he encompasses a
multidimensional approach that takes into account an array of
social, political, cultural, legal, and winemaking sources.
Elements of this history have plot lines that seem scripted by a
Sophocles, or Shakespeare. It is a fusion of wine, personal
histories, cultural, and socioeconomic aspects. Crush is the story
of how wine from California finally gained its global due. Briscoe
recounts wine's often fickle affair with California, now several
centuries old, from the first harvest and vintage, through the four
overwhelming catastrophes, to its amazing triumph in Paris.
