Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey
Natalie and August’s
story in Unfortunately
Yours by Tessa Bailey, book two in
the Vine Mess series is a
wonderful, heartwarming, heartbreaking, funny and steamy, enemies-to-lovers,
marriage of convenience, and unexpected love story.
Ex-Navy Seal, August
Cates started a winery in honor of his fallen best friend, as he struggles with
guilt, feelings of failure, and frustration on many levels. Natalie Vos has her
share of struggles, as her teenage reputation follows her, her fiancée dumped
her, and her career is in shambles. Meeting over August’s horrible wine and not
seeing eye to eye, Natalie and August decide that a marriage of convenience would
benefit them both financially; August can get the bank loan he needs, and
Natalie can receive her inheritance and start her own company. However, their
marriage of convenience is anything but convenient, especially as their
attraction, confusing feelings, and forced proximity become more difficult to resist
and deny. There’s a lot of bickering, practical jokes, and pranks thinking it
would distance them; instead, they find they are learning to understand each
other. They were sensitive to each other’s pain and trauma and insecurities. With
magnetic attraction and sparking chemistry, there is a tender understanding and
profound respect as August and Natalie unexpectedly find that they have been
hit by cupid’s arrow and not only love each other but that they are each other’s
perfect match. While this book goes into the idea of grief and life
post-serving for August, we see him learn to forgive himself and love again.
Natalie learns that she is important and loveable without having to earn that
love.
I highly recommend Unfortunately Yours to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of
this book.
