Entry Level: A Second Chance Small Town Romance (Grado Valley Vineyards) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 173 ratings

My hot new neighbor hates me.

A year ago, Owen Smith and I spent one epic weekend together, and it was almost enough to make me upend my life and move to the Fingerlakes to be with him. Instead, I got scared and put an end to our long-distance chance at love.

But when a twist of fate sends me back to small town Kitchi Falls for good, I’m hopeful we can pick up where we left off.

Not. Even. Close.

Now everyone in town is wondering why the normally affable owner of KC’s Taphouse won’t even look at me. Why he avoids me every time we’re in the same place. Why his gorgeous smile disappears at every mention of my name.

Every chance encounter and rebuffed attempt only remind me of his touch, of everything I lost because I wanted to protect myself from heartbreak.

Now all I want is a second chance.

This book can be read as a standalone but as someone who's read all the books from the Bridgewater series and the Grado Valley Vineyards Series, I loved all the little guest appearances from past characters. And Owen and Lausanne I am so happy they both got there HEA. Fantastic quick read, perfect for a quiet evening or a long lunch break. The story moves along quickly but doesn't feel forced. The characters are engaging with very little drama and plenty of holiday cheer. I have voluntarily left this review.

    If you haven’t read any of the "Boys of Bridgewater" series from Bella Michaels, then go jump right in, as it compliments "Grando Valley Vineyards" series. Gets you craving for more.
    This story "Entry Level " is the perfect connection to both.
    With Lus and Owen, sparks fly from the first meet, but distance is a challenge.
    I love how, for this magical Christmas time of year, when you know, you know. Lus and Owen see that and grab on with both hands. Beautiful short Christmas Romance.

    Oh. Wow! There was so much there. And it was utterly great! I mean, how can you not love and adore a second chance romance, right?

    Well that's the deal with Owen and Lusanne here. A quick weekend trip for her had her finding the love of her life. A few months of long distance dating and the thought of neither leaving their home had her ending it. And when she had to come back to Owen's place, let's just say, I'm glad it wasn't all Ross's. Oh don't get me wrong, I love my romance, but this was the drama that had me hooked. And might I even say, loving Owen all the more.

    So, it you need a quick, drama filled, sweet romance read, pick this one up!

    Owen and Lusanne have such a great love, even a separation and break up will never change that. Such a good book of coming together again. I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Gotta love big Italian families!

    Owen has been in love with Lusanne ever since they spent that weekend together 15 months ago. But after trying long distance, she broke up with him out of the blue. Now she's back in town without so much as giving him a phone call and he is not thrilled she bought the business across from his bar.
    Lusanne knew Owen was the one. But with neither of them willing to relocate, she unhappilyended their relationship. Now she's moved into his town to start a new business and can still feel the spark. But Owen doesn't make it easy on Lusanne. She has to figure out if he still wants her and is willing to forgive her.

    This is a sweet, quick second chance novella. The spice is minimal, but you can feel that these 2 characters desperately want what they think they can't have.

    This is a great addition to this amazing series. Owen and Lusanne / Lus spent a hot weekend together a year ago, and where in a long-distance relationship, until Lus broke his heart. Now Lus is moving to the Kitchi Falls to run her own bakery, which is right across the road from Owen’s. Owen tries to avoid Lus, but she wants another chance. This is a well written story which is emotionally charged, with heartbreak family, friendships, tension, fun, romance, love, forgiveness, and 2nd chances, which leads to a sweet and a compelling page turner.
    I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

    I was asked to read and give a honest review on this book. It was a great book, but a lot going on. This is a stand alone, but I feel like you really needed to read the other books in the series to understand everything going on. Great book though.

    My heart was touched by this emotional second-chance romance. It is not often that two people can take a chance on love when feelings have been hurt, but there is no doubt whatsoever that Owen and Lusanne were meant for one another. Having had an incredible night together, followed by some months of a long-distance relationship, Owen is devastated when Lusanne broke up with him. However, she is now back in town and despite her protestations, she has left her family behind. However, Owen is unwilling to open himself up to Lusanne until he can be sure that she is there for the right reasons. With the Grado family in the background, Owen and Lusanne feel as if they are in a fishbowl as they sort through their feelings. The novella, fortunately, comes to a happy conclusion, but not without the intervention of family and friends. I received a copy of this romance as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

    Entry Level is a part of the Naughty List and is taking us back to the Finger Lake wine region and Grado winey!
    Lusanne and Owen had a wonderfully hot weekend a year ago, but Lus was only in town to visit and knew she could not relocate. She was an intricate part of her family restaurant and was needed at home, so her romantic life was going to have to wait no matter how good her and Owen are together. Owen is more than hurt when Lus takes off after their amazing weekend and she didn't even want to try long distance. Now she is back and so much has changed she is his business neighbor and staying. Can he get over the hurt and remember why they were so good together. Lus and Owen are sassy sexy and have great chemistry.

    I love a good second chance story and Entry Level had it all! Lus and Owen had the tortured background, emotional baggage, angst and then all the spice. I loved watching them come full circle and overcome those feeling and triumphs for their beautiful HEA.
