Book Review - Nowhere but Here by Renee Carlino




My Thoughts

After someone in her life who is very close to her passes away, Kate realizes how alone she actually is now. She has people that she works with and a sort of boyfriend, but no real relationships or someone that would miss her if something happened to her. To top that off she is in a slump with her writing, only getting fluff assignments. Something has to change. She gets a really huge assignment from her boss asking her to spend time with a recluse vineyard owner and write about him. On her way to meet the big guy she bumps into Jamie and feels a spark she hasn't felt in way too long. Jamie is attracted to her as well. After a phone breakup with he boyfriend, she is free to explore the possibilities with Jamie. 

I am a sucker for the insta-love stories. I really enjoyed Kate and Jamie's story.

I give Nowhere But Here 4 hearts!



About the Book

A jaded Chicago reporter in her twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius in this rich and deeply satisfying contemporary romance by the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing.

Kate Corbin has lost her spark. A year ago, she had a handsome boyfriend and a budding career as a reporter at a popular Chicago newspaper. But after the woman who raised her passed away, leaving her lost and alone, she fell into a rut—and never got out. Now she’s stuck writing fluff pieces about lipstick and wine, and feeling trapped in a relationship that’s going nowhere.

Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, Kate’s boss and mentor gives her the opportunity to jump-start her career. The assignment: spend a week interviewing R. J. Lawson, a famously reclusive tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as the owner of a well-respected Napa Valley winery.

Kate jumps at the chance, but the trip begins in disaster, both personally and professionally. After alienating R.J., her only saving grace is Jamie, a charming vineyard hand who shows her the beauty of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. It doesn’t take long for Kate and Jamie to fall hard, and for Kate to rethink her life in the city. But the week ends with a heartbreaking journey back to Chicago that sends Kate reeling, wondering what went wrong in those four perfect days.

About the Author

Renee's first friends were the imaginary kind and even though her characters haven't gone away, thankfully the delusions have. She admits she's a wildly hopeless romantic and she blames 80's movies staring Molly Ringwald for that. She lives in Southern California with her husband, two sons, and their sweet dog June. When she's not at the beach with her boys or working on the next book, she likes to spend her time reading, going to concerts, and eating dark chocolate.
