An introverted 30-year-old woman tries to prank her brother—and finds out what it means to be herself in this lesbian fake-relationship romance. All her life, Annie Prideaux has suffered through her brother’s constant practical jokes. But Jake’s last joke is one too many, she decides when he sets her up on a blind date with his friend Drew—neglecting to tell his straight sister one tiny detail: her date is not a man, but a lesbian.Annie and Drew decide it’s time to turn the tables on Jake by pretending to fall in love with each other.At first glance, they have nothing in common. Disillusioned with love, Annie focuses on books, her cat, and her work as an accountant while Drew, more confident and outgoing, owns a dog and spends most of her time working in her beloved vineyard.Only their common goal to take revenge on Jake unites them. But what starts as a table-turning game soon turns Annie’s and Drew’s lives upside down as the lines between pretending and reality begin to blur .

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Jae is the author of twenty-four award-winning sapphic romances. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.

She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.

When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of sapphic books, indulges her ice cream and stationery addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

Oh, my, goodness but this book was delicious! Poor Annie was just so confused about herself. What was going on with her, she wondered? Drew was so patient and kind and understanding with Annie. All good things come to those who wait was absolutely confirmed in these pages. Wonderful and heartfelt. I'll definitely re-read this one because it is just that good!!!! It made my heart smile!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good With A Big Asterisk
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2016
Verified Purchase
I really did enjoy this book. The story was a good one. For the most part, the characters were well written. The struggle that one the main characters had with accepting her attraction to another woman was more than reasonable. However, at various times that character's struggle crossed the line into homophobia. As irritating as that was, I was okay with that at first because I'm sure there are people out there who have that same struggle.
There's such a delicate balance to be struck between keeping elements of a story as real as possible, while at the same time not weighing it down to the point of being frustrating.
Having said that...
What frustrated me was how that struggle lasted well past the point she actually started dating the woman she said she loved--essentially right up until the last page or two in the book.
The book would have been so much more satisfying if that particular drama would have ended sooner. After all, her lack of a spine for most of the book when dealing with her family was more than enough of a character flaw. Just one or two more chapters of Annie having come to terms with her sexuality would have improved my overall satisfaction with the story dramatically.
It may sound like I didn't think much of Annie, or the book in general. That's not true. I would still recommend it. The romance itself was pretty great.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great story
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
Ok I have to say, this book was very true and realistic when it came to the fears and confusion that comes with coming to terms with sexuality, society and being comfortable in your own skin. Now not everyone will feel like this. Not everyone throws the word homophobic out there when trying to determine if they are attracted to the same sex.
Also there is a reference that compares being a lesbian to being a wiccain witch. That was completely wrong. But then again there are morons out there that would see this as being gospel... ( bible enthusiast)
I truly enjoyed being pulled in to the main characters lives as they slowly become so invloved with another they never saw it coming. To me that's the best kinda of love.
This is a very well written book.
The sub characters were also engaging. Jake was well developed and stayed true to his personality to the end. Others added good substance but I felt could of been more involved in some areas.
The valentines story was also really good. I would of liked a bit more of there life together. However as a whole, this is a must read book. You will find it charming and very interesting.
I look forward to seeing what's next by Jae.

Jae is a master wordsmith, this delightful gentle love story grew on me right from the beginning and carried me through the added bonus! The characters are perfectly developed and just seemed so perfectly suited. I loved the family dysfunction, it seemed so real. The MC’s righteous anger finally boiling over with the family was timely and needed for her growth and theirs. Truly this story worked on many levels.

This book was a pleasant way to spend an evening, the romance was okay though not overly exciting, the main character seemed as if she didn't have much of a back bone and was easily told what to do by others including her romance interest. 394 pages and I cannot remember either of their names. There are much better books out there especially if you are hoping for some kind of romantic conclusion, it left much to be desired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming lesbian romance
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017
Verified Purchase
Something in the Wine is a charming lesbian romance. Spoiler – no sex in this book. Yet, it was sweet and I couldn’t put it down. Jake sets up a blind date for his straight sister Annie with his friend Drew. Jake doesn’t tell his sister that Drew is a woman. He also leads Drew to believe that Annie wants the date with Drew. The two hatch a plan to turn the practical joke back onto Jack by pretending that Annie has fallen for Drew and they are a couple. In the midst of plotting and executing the joke, Annie and Drew become friends, and before they know it, they each start to develop feelings for the other.

Jae is an excellent story teller and writer. I won’t lie, I was a little disappointed there was no sex. However, I think no sex worked for this book because it allowed the story to concentrate on raw feelings of love, respect, and admiration. So now Jae, where do I find my own Drew?

A joke to get her own back on her prankster brother turns into something deeper for Annie.

A lovely romance showing a reserved girl finding her true self. Drew is a fantastic character and I would have loved to see more about them as she helps Annie in her plot. And of course invariably falls for the girl!

A lovely story and well worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughs over laughs
Reviewed in Germany on September 30, 2020

This was a great book. Pranking the prankster and finding love on the way. I had a lot to laugh and to be honest, as a heterosexual male I‘m learning a lot of things due to Jae‘s book. But I have a few questions that have been left unanswered.

- There is a lesbian headquarter
- If you convert a non-lesbian to a lesbian, headquarter sends you a toaster oven
- lesbians tend to move in with each other at or after the second date using a U-Haul (as a German, I don‘ really get this U-Haul thing. Are these just cars and trailers for rent?)
- There is a lesbian rulebook
- The rulebook states, you have to stay friends with you Exes.

So, how does this work?
Do you have to register as a lesbian at the headquarter?
Do you have to give the name of the person who converted you, so she‘ll get her toaster oven?
Is there a ceremony when you register?
Do you then get handed the rulebook?
Do you have to learn the rules and pass a test to become a official or certified lesbian?

Well, that‘s all for now. I can‘t wait to read another Jae book

An enjoyable read. This was a well written, charming book that realistically depicts the confusion surrounding coming to terms with ones sexuality. Annie (identifies as straight) and Drew’s (identifies as a lesbian) relationship begins as an attempt at vengeance on a prankster brother. The reader is then taken on a sweet journey of discovery as the author develops the relationship that grows between them.

The main problem with this book is that it is way too sappy. On the other hand, although the main character has been quite well described, the other one remains quite poor.

Too plain for me
