Vino & Veritas Book 8: Hideaway by Rachel Lacey

Vino & Veritas Book 8

One woman’s hiding place is another woman’s home.

After becoming an inadvertent viral sensation—and losing her job and her girlfriend as a result— Phoebe Shaw retreats to Vermont. Renovating her late grandmother’s cabin into a vacation rental seems like the perfect way to lie low for a while. But the last person she expects to encounter on the property is the woman whose kiss was her teenage sexual awakening . . . and whom she’s never quite forgotten.

Taylor Donovan has been hiking on the trails behind the Shaw family’s cabin her whole life. As children, Taylor and Phoebe were best friends before sharing a secret summer romance when they were sixteen, which left Taylor brokenhearted when Phoebe fled at the end of the summer. Now the property has become Taylor’s home away from home, and she wants nothing more than to convince the Shaws to sell it to her. But Phoebe’s return puts a crimp in those plans--and brings back old feelings she thought she’d overcome.

Of all the things Phoebe regrets, leaving Taylor is at the top of the list, but Taylor is determined to protect her heart. Yet the pull between them is stronger than ever. This time around, will love stay hidden . . . or finally see the light of day?

My Review: 4/5 Stars 

When Phoebe loses her job and her girlfriend she decides to head to Vermont to hide out for a bit. She figures she can help her dad out by renovating her late grandmother's cabin so he can turn it into a rental and it will be a huge distraction from everything blowing up in her life. What she doesn't expect to find is Taylor. Her first love and the one she ran from when they were teenagers. It's been a long time since they were teens but seeing Taylor brings back all kinds of feelings. Meanwhile, Taylor can't forget the love and heartbreak she felt for Phoebe. And to have her back in her life is something she isn't sure she can handle. But when Taylor needs a favor from Phoebe that involves Phoebe taking in a pregnant foster dog, she finds herself being reminded of why she fell for Phoebe the first time. It isn't long before they realize that maybe they deserve a second chance to be together. But Taylor has to protect her heart. She can't fall for Phoebe again if she is just going to leave. Or will things be different this time? Phoebe and Taylor's story is about second chances at love and lots of adorable puppies! Another great addition to the Vino & Veritas series.
