A review by fairytale42
The Tender Vine by Kristen Heitzmann

4.0

Okay, so I really did love this book. Seeing Carina and Quillan grow in their faith was inspiring and beautiful; and yes, I loved seeing their relationship grow, too. (Finally, they've both acknowledged their love for each other!) There were moments, however, where this book dragged. (Mostly because I was excited for them to get to Sonoma.) Also, I feel that if both parties in the big argument had laid aside their pride, then the whole issue would have been resolved faster. That being said, I feel that the ending was good (if predictable), and I enjoyed seeing how Carina and Quillan grew.
On a side note: Flavio was a pacifist? Seriously?! That totally came out of nowhere and was just said to highlight the moments when he was angry. Not a great move.
