In Vino Veritas Book 6: Dauntless by Victoria Denault

In Vino Veritas Book 6

He’s everything I’ve ever wanted, at the worst possible moment.

One and done. That’s always been my motto when it comes to guys, because I’m not about to pull someone else into the closet my parents have locked me inside. I’ve been waiting years to claim my inheritance and live the life I want to live–out, free, and oh yeah, rich.

So why is the universe dropping the sexy farm boy with the lazy smile into my life right now? When Bowen Whitlock says he’ll join my band, and later my bed, I know one time won’t be enough.

But loving Bowen is dangerous for me. And he has his own struggles, like keeping his family afloat and trying not to get fired from his job at Vino and Veritas. But he lives his life with an authenticity that gives me a tantalizing taste of living my truth.

My secret relationship with Bowen is everything, until someone betrays us in the worst possible way…

My Review: 5/5 Stars

The final In Vino Veritas book! And I'm sad all over again that this series is once again done. But hey, maybe it won't be? I'm just send that wish out there and see what happens. Chase and Bowen's story was the perfect one to end the series with! So good! We've seen a bit of both of them in the last few books and now we get to see what happens when the two meet. Chase has never fully been out of the closet. His two closest friends know and he's had plenty of one night stands but his family, well he tried to tell them and it didn't exactly work out. His father insists it was a phase and reminds Chase that if he wants to receive his trust fund on his 28th birthday then he knows what that means. Chase doesn't care really care about money in that he wants to be rich so he can buy and do whatever he wants. He actually has real plans for the money to not only let him go back to school and get a degree he is passionate about, but he can use it to put to action some plans he has to really help his community. And with him being six months away from it, surely, he can keep his head down a little longer. Well, that is, until he meets Bowen. Bowen who saved their band when the drummer bailed at V&V and Bowen stepped in. Bowen who changes the rules Chase worked hard to keep for himself. Being with Bowen makes him want to risk it all. All Bowen wants is to support his siblings, whether it is on the farm or while his brother runs for mayor. Then he gets a chance to play music again and the sparks between him and Chase fly. However, he learns that Chase can't exactly advertise being in a relationship and immediately that brings back bad memories for Bowen. Does he really want history to repeat itself? But something is different with Chase and Bowen realizes that letting him go may be the worst mistake. I adored these two. I loved their chemistry and how their story built. They are both such great characters and you just want to cheer them on! You don't want to miss this final book in this series! It's been so fun to dive back into this world and see familiar characters while getting brand new ones. 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
