For ten years, the focus of Delaney's life has been her wine bar. Peace of Wine is a place of harmony for Delaney and her partners, Cheryl and Hunter, and the friends spend almost every hour of the day running it. It's their dream, but it's time for a break. Careful scheduling has been done so that Delaney can join Cheryl and her family for their vacation on the Atlantic shore. Delaney will meet Cheryl's divorced brother there, hoping it will be a match. Peace of Wine is fulfilling, but Delaney craves someone to share her life with. Temperatures rise at the beach, but not with the man that Delaney’s supposed to be spending time with. As this forbidden attraction increases, she must consider the risks. Once back at Peace of Wine, this new secret threatens to expose even darker ones. Past mistakes could destroy the life that she has created. Can Delaney choose what is valuable and what is Worth Losing?

I loved the characters in this book! This book is the summer get away I needed during this crappy weather. The beach isn’t the only hot in this book. Worth Losing is a romance/drama with twists and turns around every corner. Secrets are kept but not for long, once they come out the hardest decisions are made. A page turner for sure! Peace of Wine makes me wish we had a wine bar close to town!

This book left me thirsting for more: more wine, more passion, I couldn't get enough and I couldn't put it down! A wonderful twisting delight on every page. Perfect book to pour a glass of wine, curl up and read (let's be honest the bottle was gone by the time I realized how engrossed in the story I truly was!!) Cannot say enough about this great book!

Lots of twists and turns in the storyline. One minute, I want to read the ending to find out what finally happens, and the next minute, I don’t ever want to get to the end!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and engrossing
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018
As a guy who primarily enjoys sci-fi, fantasy, and horror books, I don't think I'm the intended audience for this one. But I had just finished a book with nothing to read next when my friend recommended that I give it a try. I trusted them and decided to check it out. I gotta say, I'm glad they suggested this to me because I had a lot of fun reading it!

It's got a nice cast of characters that fit well with each other, and their chemistry makes it easy to connect with them. I quickly found myself rooting for and against various characters throughout the story, changing my allegiances as the story developed. Having this kind of dynamic connection to the characters made the story fun for me to read.

The pacing of the story made it engrossing. The author did a great job painting a serene picture to show the status quo for her characters. Just as I got comfortable with how things were, she channels Jackson Pollock and flings new paint over the picture, forcing her characters to rearrange and adjust before developing a new status quo. After sharing in their anxiety during the tumult, I would eventually relax and find comfort in their new normal. But then a new twist brings on new challenges, and we'd all have to readjust once more. I was surprised at how invested I became in these people and in this story. It really made it hard to put down.

As a final thought, this book avoids a problem that plagues many movies and stories. In too many stories, drama and tension are fabricated because the characters refuse to talk to each other to clear up a misunderstanding. After one person runs away in tears, the other hopelessly calls after them "No, wait, I can explain!" and I roll my eyes in disbelief. If this story had that element to it, I couldn't have gotten through it. In Worth Losing, the drama and tension comes from the fact that the characters DO talk to each other. While there is some deceit involved, the characters are willing to confront each other and have difficult conversations in a believable way. This keeps the story grounded and makes the people in it feel real.

Like I said, as an outsider to this genre I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace of Wine, Peace of Mind

Peace of Wine, Peace of Mind
Friendships, secrets past and present and a forbidden romance collide in Worth Losing by Linda Van Meter. Delaney and Cheryl are part of a trio of owners in a wine bar called Peace of Wine. They are also best friends . When Cheryl invites Delaney on a family vacation, she is hoping a love connection will be made between Delaney and Cheryl’s newly divorced brother. A love connection is made, but not the one that Cheryl intended.
It now appears that Cheryl’s best friend, 42-year-old Delaney is involved with her best friend’s 29-year-old son, Sam. Keeping their relationship a secret puts a strain on the workplace as well as their friendship. This strain leads to revelations of secrets both past and present that threatens the life they have always known.
Worth Losing is a family drama and steamy romance set against a backdrop of sandy beaches and a trendy wine bar. The characters are well developed . They are three dimensional, possessing positive traits and potentially tragic flaws just like the people we know and meet every day. I found myself completely engrossed in the storyline, hoping that the characters would find a happy ending.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. On a cold, snowy, Ohio day, a trip to the beach and a wine bar was an entertaining and fun escape.
