Bend Toward the Sun by Jen Devon
3.0
I walked into this book expecting it to be a five star book and it was not that for me. All of the elements were there. We have a hero who is reeling about his entire life since he lost a patient in a completely tragic way and doesn't trust himself anymore in medicine. We have a heroine who needs to get away from her life to finish her thesis and finds a family among this large group of folks that live and work at this up and coming winery. They find each other and when it's good, it's good.
I don't know if it was the narrators for me or not but they spend so much of this book failing to communicate like adults and get everyone else involved in their drama. The scene toward the end at the dining room table over family dinner was so awkward that I had to pause the book and take a walk. These two (her more than him) do not speak to each other with love or respect especially when they're overwhelmed or angry.
