Book 1 of 5: The River Hill Series

See all formats and editions

Welcome to River Hill, where the only thing more intoxicating than the wine is the man who makes it.

With movie roles for "curvy best friend" drying up fast, actress Angelica Travis is happy to leave Hollywood behind to renovate a bed and breakfast in River Hill, the jewel of Northern California's wine country. She's got plans and power tools ready, but an inconvenient attraction to her handsome new neighbor is not on the agenda.

Winemaker Noah Bradstone's master plan is right on schedule until construction on the B&B next door threatens his prize-winning grapes. His only choice is to confront his sexy new neighbor, but with her pink toolbelt and quick retorts, she's the single most infuriating woman he's ever met. What's even more infuriating is that he wants her anyway.

Despite their constant bickering, Angelica and Noah discover they have more in common than they initially thought--including an attraction that burns red hot. But when his past and her future collide, they're forced to answer some very difficult questions about their relationship. Can their love survive a pair of shocking revelations? Better yet, can they survive each other?

About the Author

Rebecca Norinne and Jamaila Brinkley have been friends for almost fifteen years. Separately, they write contemporary romance and historical fantasy romance; together, they created the enchanting world of River Hill. In this charming Northern California town, Norinne and Brinkley combined the interests that made them friends in the first place--great food, delicious wine, and a pinch of home renovation--and added in the spicy romance they love.

Rebecca lives in Massachusetts with her husband, and Jamaila lives in Maryland with her husband and twin children. They email each other a lot.

Great start to a new series

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019

Disclaimer: I am friends with both authors; however, I purchased this ebook for full price.

This is a fun new series that brings together two writers whom I greatly enjoy. I'm excited to read more in the town of River Hill, and the story of Angelica and Noah was the perfect way to start. Sparks fly from their very first meeting, despite the rocky beginnings, and I loved every moment of their interactions.

In many romances, one of the pairing must grow and adapt in order for the relationship to work out. And while it might seem that this should fall on Angelica's shoulders, as the character starting out in a new phase of her life, it turns out that she is honestly pretty sorted. Noah is usually the one who is kind of a dick who jumps to conclusions.

Instead, it is a man who otherwise thought he had his life together who has to re-evaluate some things and grow as a person. Luckily, he has a decent support system around him already. This book also gets bonus points for featuring two intelligent women are are two smart to fall into any sort of love-triangle drama.

I can't wait to follow the evolution of their relationship through future River Hill books. Seeing people live out their happily ever after is definitely one of the benefits to being in the first book.

This was a fun romance with enemies to lovers vibes, insta lust, and the sweetness of discovery. Noah and Angelica were both passionate and hard working characters. Their backgrounds were different as far as family and career, but the love of River Hill was their common ground. There were steamy moments. Some funny moments, as well. The conflict was interesting and I loved the fact that both Noah and Angelica held themselves accountable. I enjoyed the road to this HEA.

Neighbors!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

Angelica is moving on from acting to a new career as an inn keeper. First she has to renovate the house. Complications start when the landscape crew rip out the neighbor's grape vines instead of hers. The neighbor is great looking but, hard to deal with. This should be fun!

Good-natured, opposites attract romance!

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018

3.5 Stars!

A little bit opposites attract and a whole bunch of sexy fun. Noah and Angelica steam up the pages with their witty banter and intimate moments. The natural progression from neighbors who don't like each other to friends to more was seamless and engaging. Noah is all man - alpha, grumpy, but with a big heart underneath that exterior. Angelica is just happy-go-lucky and she lives life to the fullest. They learn from each other. They really end up bringing the best out in each other. I really enjoyed the writing from this team and look forward to more.

Likable Characters (altho the hero is something of a likable jerk for a lot of the book)

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

Well writtten, with well-drawn characters. I liked both leads, and the secondary characters. I did have some problems with the time-line - months kept getting mentioned, but I wasn’t sure how long the lead characters had really been involved with each other. Two months? More? —and I wasn’t sure if the hero actually told the heroine what his problem was. Their conversation didn’t feel *finished* and *discussed*. I still feel like I was hanging on it.

There are three friends - two guys and a woman - who are coming up in the series (the woman-friend, a former FWB of the hero...which also wasn’t really dealt with and I felt like I was left hanging).

Even though though things are going okay in your life, sometimes you realize that is not what you really want, so finding something new is great

Guter Roman

Reviewed in Germany on October 7, 2019

Ich habe zuerst einen späteren Teil der Serie gelesen, der mir besser gefallen hat, aber The Vintner‘s Vixen ist sehr gut. Mir gefällt vor allem die Gleichberechtigung der Hauptcharaktere im Buch.
