In Vino Veritas

By Sydney Blackburn
In Vino Veritas by Sydney Blackburn digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Anthony Beretta inherited the family winery at the tender age of twenty-four. It's a struggle to keep it up, but he loves it and is determined to make it work even if it kills him. That is, if a motorcyclist doesn't kill him first. He initially judges the man, attractive as he may be, on the basis of his appearance and apparently limited vocabulary. He soon discovers he's wrong, but by then Oscar Kennett has already judged Anthony on his appearance.

Oscar thinks Tony Beretta is uptight and snobbish, and Tony's speech for the charity they're working on together reinforces that, even when he finds out Tony did it just to push his buttons. His adorable curls and sexy glasses might not be enough to change his mind, but maybe there's more to Tony than meets the eye.

In Vino Veritas Reviews

3.5
“** 3.5 stars** I thought that In Vino Veritas was a cute read. Hoever, there was nothing spectacular about the story that stood out for me. The characters were just average grown men trying to get by in their daily lives when some freak [minor] accident propels them into each other’s lives. There was nothing that made me feel like Tony and Oscar were meant to be together in the slightest. It would have been more believable if they had a one night stand that then blossomed into something more because of the amount of time that they spent together, but even then, why? There wasn’t anything that made their story special and the ending left me unsatisfied with their conclusion. Also, I thought the side plot of Rene being the ex that throws a wall between Oscar and Tony’s relationship was wasted. I had been hoping that Rene would bring some serious competition for Oscar and in turn the angst that comes along with not knowing if his relationship with Tony was stable enough to last. But Rene was played off like a joke and I couldn’t take whatever he did as an actual threat. He was just some pompous 20-something and that is where his character development ended. Also, the whole charity that all of Tony’s and Oscars interactions were based on, fell into the abyss the second these two became more serious. This story left me feeling meh at the end. Nothing special. Hoever, I do have to admit that Sydney Blackburn’s writing style was easy to follow and enjoyable. So, for that alone I would give her another chance to see if she could become an author I would read. It is a quick read that is perfect for the August/September weather and the ambiance the book gave through the setting at the vineyard was A+. Final notes: Told in alternating third person POV Enemies? to lovers trope Character with low self esteem [minor issue] Insta love [-ish]”
“I loved this book, Tony and Oz's story pulled me in from the start, it was a fast paced read. where I got to learn some of the main characters background, though I would like more of Oz's background. I did love how much we got to know Tony/Anthony. I was sad when this book ended, it left me wanting more. I hope to see a second book so we can follow more of their story and see what is next for them.”
