Enjoy this clean, small town romance by award winning and bestselling author, Lucinda Race.

He’s an unexpected distraction, she gets his engine runnin</i>g …</b>

On the worst day of her life, Stephanie encounters Leo and his two nephews in her father’s restoration shop. It wasn’t bad enough she had just become an orphan, but the kids knocked over a display and broke a very special model car, one she had built with her dad. Grief and that memory, however, don’t obscure her immediate attraction to Leo. Still, she has only returned to the small town of Black River for six months, intending to put the business on a steady path and resume her life on the West Coast. 

Leo Price loves classic cars. He loves classic cars so much, he skipped working in the family’s wine business in order to open a classic car restoration company. But more important to him than business is family, primarily his widowed twin sister and her two energetic sons. Life is great and then he meets the beautiful Stephanie James. As a bonus, she knows how to keep an engine running.

When Steph realizes someone is stealing from her business, it could threaten her plans to keep her father’s legacy alive. And then there’s Leo. Dating him gives her ideas about what life might be like if she stayed—or is it possible he’d leave his roots in the valley and follow her west?

Vintage is the fourth novel in the Price Family Romance Series, although each book can be read as standalone. A sweet and clean romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. Happy reading! 

Ratings and reviews

5 Star Review of Vintage (A Crescent Lake Winery Book #5) by Lucinda Race Lucinda Race is a new author to me and I am surprised I have not come across her books before. This may have been my first book, but it will not be my last. I fell hard and fast for the two main characters Leo Price and Stephanie James. When I read the blurb for this book, I was intrigued and could not wait to read Vintage. I found it to be well written with characters who were easy to relate to. Meeting Leo changes the course of her life, she never planned on staying but meeting him has her yearning for a love she never expected to find. A beautifully written story about love and family that left me with a smile on my face.

This story was about wines and vintage cars with romance and a bit of a mystery thrown in. Stephanie planned on using her leave to get her father's business in order and then go back to her job. She didn't plan on falling for mechanic and vintage car restorer Leo. They start a romance which with all the bedroom action I would not consider clean, but she keeps thinking about the end date when she has to leave or that he'd regret moving for her or she for him, and pushes him away. The mystery at her father's shop kept me reading on wanting to know if I figured it out. I liked Leo's large boisterous family even the troublesome brothers.

Stephanie grew up around the body shop her father ran so cars are second nature to her. Leo is part of the family that produces wine, but he has stayed separate in order to work on restoring vintage autos. They meet and things skyrocket, but they live on different coasts so time will tell. The characters are relatable and well done. The storyline is not all romance though as there is a mystery of someone stealing from her fathers shop. Loved the family that supports them and pushes them in the right direction. The story flows at a great pace and the ending is terrific. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
