Hmm. ( ) I learned about this book from a reviewer I trust. They talk mostly about gay novels and this was in "books that ruined me" section. At first this seemed like a really difficult read. In many parts this book offers no explanation and it's pretty hard to read. The reason for it is that it tries to write about only one night in year when an angel meets a mortal and in that night we try to catch up with all the characters. If you don't pay attention all the time (as me) it's quite easy to just forget who a character is and you just can't care as much as you should. The story itself is amazing and really easy to love and adore - a mortal and an angel share a bond, they meet and talk and kiss. This is a strange world where angels can be seen by mortals but it also has a good historical background so you're always between reality and fantasy. I must admit that I liked reading about this book much more that I liked this book. Some parts were amazing and I'm really not talking about the love story. The love story is what I had problems with and it's only because I expected something really different. We are spoiled by all those stories where angles sacrifice everything for a human and they get (at least for a moment) a quite human love. This is also not that. Prepare to read about other relationships, murder, war, wine. This is much more than a love story. And the reason why someone won't like it is probably the same as mine - they expected something they've already read and this is not it. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

One summer night in 1808, Sobran Jodeau sets out to drown his love sorrows in his family's vineyard when he stumbles on an angel. Once he gets over his shock, Sobran decides that Xas, the male angel, is his guardian sent to counsel him on everything from marriage to wine production. But Xas turns out to be a far more mysterious character. Compelling and erotic, The Vintner's Luck explores a decidedly unorthodox love story as Sobran eventually comes to love and be loved by both Xas and the young Countess de Valday, his friend and employer at the neighboring chateau.
