Because, wine! Wanted: one master winemaker Indigo Blue is starting over, again. Following the death of her husband, she's rebuilding her life around her only inheritance—a California winery.

But how do you say no when you find love twice in a blue moon? Excerpt “What is wrong, Danovan?” She sounded as confused as he felt. “Is it me?” He dropped his hands. “It’s not you. Us working together and . . . being together messes with my head sometimes.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Look, I want you. I think that’s pretty obvious. But I’ve also asked you to put a lot of faith in me with the winery, and I know that’s pretty scary for you. I don’t ever want you to think that I used this —” He waved a hand, indicating them both “used us, to influence your decision.” She tilted her head and only one side of her mouth lifted. “I can’t decide if you’re sweet, or the most egotistical man I’ve ever met.”

If you love a romance with a lot of depth....
Then read this book! I loved this story. Not only did it make me want to go buy a winery, but it allowed me to root for a girl who had to discover her own strength, and for a guy who had to learn to understand what it is to love a strong woman. Indigo Blue and Danovan will stick with you long after you close the book. I loved watching the two of them go through a relationships ups and downs. The downs were heartbreaking, but they made the ending that much more perfect!

This Book Is on My
This book saved me from my reading rut--it had me hooked from page one. I love a book like this, where the writing sweeps you into another world and I'm connected to its emotional journey.

Indigo Blue, the heroine, intrigued me because she was the wife of a famous, yet much-older iconic Hollywood director. He steadied her, was her rock, despite tabloids insisting she was a gold digger. When he dies, Indigo's world is shattered. She heads up to a winery his uncle left her, and she beings to rebuild her life.

Indigo hires Danovan to help her work the winery; but, even though their attraction grows, Danovan is a man with a past. Can Indigo trust him with her future?

I loved every page of this book. The writing was vivid, impactful, and much better in quality than so many books out there on those bestseller lists. I've been disappointed by the hype of bestselling books that don't deliver, but this book was everything I expected... and more. Only once in a blue moon does a book come around as good as Twice in a Blue Moon.

Twice in a Blue Moon
Laura Drake is a very talented author that has a way with very emotional story lines. I know when I pick up a Laura Drake book I'm going to experience a gamut of emotions. While reading Twice in a Blue Moon I had tears in my eyes a few times. I laughed out loud a time or two and I was left with that wonderful awe feeling that made my heart swell with happiness.

Indigo Blue has been through a lot lately. This poor girl found her once in a blue moon love and then lost him. She has lost her love, her confidante, and the guy she could always count on to have the answers. Not only is she grieving she has to deal with starting a new life. She is one strong lady with a lot of spunk. She is also sweet, kind, and has a huge heart. I admired this woman for having the courage and determination to make her new life as a winery owner work, one way or the other. Her name certainly fits her. It's a very unique name fitting for a unique lady.

Danovan DiCarlo has suffered a horrible loss and has been dragged through the mud by people he thought cared. Not only is he dealing with a tragic loss, he has to deal with the damage that has been done to his sterling reputation and find a job.

Indigo and Danovan are just exactly what the other needs. They are the perfect match. She needs someone that knows everything there is to know about wine and is willing to take a chance on a small operation. He needs a job to work his magic with wine that is willing to take on a guy down on his luck.

I enjoyed watching Indigo learn about the wine business and Danovan teaching her literally from the ground up. I enjoyed watching these two get to know each other while working closely together. Friendship turns into an attraction that is quite hot. There are many obstacles they are going to have to overcome in order to make a romantic relationship work. There are secrets that have to be told, tragedies that have to shared, and dramatic situation or two that they have to work through together.

Twice in a Blue Moon is a prime example of the writing I quickly came to love and expect from Laura Drake. This lady has a talent with emotional stories that just about break my heart in two before she mends it back together with that awe moment.

I am always thrilled when I hear that Ms. Drake has a new release. I have been a fan of her work since her debut release. With the end of each book I anxiously anticipate her next release. I can not wait to see what wonderful heartfelt story she comes up with next.

I was given the opportunity to read this great story so that I may share my thoughts with you. As always it has been my great pleasure to share my thoughts with you on Twice in a Blue Moon.
