Editorial Review:
Syrah Ardani tried independence - but the call of the Napa Valley hills and rolling vineyards of her family's winery have brought her home again. She is content with her ordered world until she learns that her father's feckless management has put Ardani Vineyards into receivership.
Corporate turnaround specialist Toni Blanchard's arrival is preceded by tales of her slash-and-burn techniques. Determined to meet this soulless corporate raider head on, Syrah proudly prepares to do battle for her home and family business.
Toni has reason to retreat from a high-pressure Manhattan lifestyle, not the least of which is a bitter break up. She's been told that Syrah Ardani is attractive and single, but Toni never mixes business and pleasure.
Toni's father wants her to save his old friend from bankruptcy. The court has appointed her to safeguard the creditors. The creditors clamor for a quick sale and payment. The beautiful—and hostile—Syrah wants Toni off her land and out of her life.
Their clashes smolder with distrust and resentment, but also threaten to light a completely different kind of fire. Most dangerous of all is the one thing Toni can't control—the way her heart reacts when Syrah looks at her… just like that.

Rating:  - A good grape
I recently took a brief business trip through Sonoma, then that weekend found myself watching Pride and Prejudice and it made me think of this book, which I remembered fondly, so I picked it up again. It was just as good as I remembered it being, and really hit the spot; it was perfect for my mood. I think you enjoy this book more if you're in on and completely accept the "joke" of its homage to Pride and Prejudice. In fact I was quite tickled with the elements of that classic that the author decided ... Read More
Rating: - Double romance
Ohhhh...Kallmaker does it again. A 5 star awesome novel.
In this novel, we find Syrah (named after the wine) trying to assist her father from losing their vineyard and business. Since his business' credit has been maxed, the creditors are sending in someone to assist her father in making good solid judgements with his business.
Syrah doesn't want the axe man to come, but he cometh in the form of Toni Blanchard. Toni's beautiful, competent, smart and also happens to be the ... Read More

This the 17th outing for Kallmaker, and she brings us something new. This is the story of Syrah, born with grapes in her DNA. And Toni, a businesswoman who works for stockholders and courts and essentially tells companies how to restructure their businesses and then walks away. When Toni is asked to look at Syrah's family vineyard, she discovers that while she likes Syrah's father, he is a poor businessman. What will Toni find when she goes through the books?
Kallmaker slowly builds the ... Read More
Rating: - Love at Second Sight
A thoughtful friend gave me this latest Karin Kallmaker novel for Christmas - signed no less! - and it was a true delight to read. Pride & Prejudice is one of those books I know I *ought* to have read, but I haven't. Since it's apparently the birthplace of the romance novel - and the blueprint from which Just Like That was developed - I think I have to read it.
There were plenty of twists and turns in the story. I knew all along that somehow Toni would save the day, but exactly how was ... Read More
Rating:  - Kinda Bummed
I went into this book knowing how it was going to end because as with all of her books you know going into it how it is going to end (a perk indeed when it comes to me and "trashy lesbian romance novels"). The premise was amazingly good...it caught and kept my attention. I just found that with this particular book it lagged a bit more than in books past. I understand that suspending disbelief is one of the HUGE attractions of a great romance book...(believe me...I get and appreciate that..just ask my girlfriend ... Read More
