Rating: 5 glasses of wine

Parker's cousin Emma is getting hitched, emphasis on the hitch. The quiet, unprepossessing Emma is getting a dream wedding, just not HER dream. Rather than representing Emma and making sure she has the perfect wedding for her, wedding planner Prynne lets family-zilla take over. Unfortunately Emma isn't the only one who's not impressed with Prynne's job performance and before Emma and Nash can light the candle, someone snuffs out Prynne's flame for good.

I love wine. White wine, red wine, port, dry wine, sweet wine, fruit wine, sangria, mulled wine, I'm not picky. I also love cozy mysteries. What's better than reading a cozy mystery while drinking wine? Reading a cozy mystery ABOUT wine while drinking wine. I may have time travelled. This is a great series, a wonderfully charming cast of characters, great settings, fun investigations, and wine. Let's not forget the wine.

It's been quite a while since I read the previous book in this series (which I LOVED) but that didn't take away from the story for me. Following the story was easy (though I did several times get Sage [Parker's best friend] and Sloan [Parker's tasting room manager] mixed up). There were also some new developments as Reid prepares to move to California and Parker is forced to reevaluate their future as a long-distance couple. Parker's mom also has some tricks up her sleeve and I really look forward to seeing how that pans out in the next book.

This series is a must-read for my fellow cozy lover wine enthusiasts!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
