Or will she ruin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…and lose her aching heart?

What's a girl to do when she goes for an interview and gets offered a partnership? Plus the owner is, just say, wow?
Amanda was going for an interview at an old winery that was starting back up, but she knew her chances were slim would get the job.. She was young and really did not have the experience, at least on her resume. But she was in for a surprise!
Garrick's knack for making money, was buying companies, hiring the right people and then on to the next project. The winery deal was personal for him though, in memory of his brother, who had know everything about wine but had not had the chance to realize his dream.
Amanda cannot believe it when Garrick offers to make her a partner. Of course it is a run down property that it will take all her hard work to make a go but she is terrified and thrilled!
Wowza, I loved the first two books in this series of three friends who met after several years at a reunion. They made a pact to honor lost loved ones and move forward. Lisa again brings together an a great storyline with two people that need each other.. Needless to say, their journey is filled with all the ingredients to make this a must read with a sigh on the last page (ok, on several pages, but you will have to see for yourself!)!
SYNOPSIS Amanda just landed the job of her dreams. Now the muscle-bound billionaire who’d made it all happen is offering to share his cabin. Yeah, the arrangement cuts her hellish commute, but it means battling her own libido and those bedroom eyes. Is baiting her partner worth the risk? Or will she ruin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…and forever lose her heart?
REVIEW This, Lisa Ann Verge’s third book in the Cabin Fever Book Series, I will have to admit is my favorite of the three. Yes, even us humble reviewers are allowed a favorite read on occasion. This brotherhood of college graduates who have moved on to their careers and lives have finally started settling down and finding the loves of their lives in this series. Why men fight leaving bachelorhood so fiercely has always puzzled me, but the merriment of following their awakening to a heart that can no longer beat as one is always entertaining, especially when the girl is no surer than he about ending the chase. Lisa is a master at weaving an entertaining story that is full of fun, a little science (for us eggheads who love minutia), pathos for the soul, and a bit of hard breathing (for the romantic-at-heart). The chemistry she creates between the reader and the characters in the book creates lots of energy and more than a little steam rising off the pages as they stumble through life. Yes, very much like the rest of us, but we get to laugh and cry at their expense as we whisper words of encouragement or rip a page trying to turn it fast enough to not miss the action. The storyline is compelling and entertaining, giving us both the resident heroine and token villain (of sorts) to get the proverbial boot. What more can you ask of a modern Cinderella Tale?
Even though Taken With You is the third book in this series, it is easy to read as a stand alone novel. The series is thematic, but the plot and storyline are not intertwined nor interdependent on the first two books. This book was provided as an Advance Reader’s Copy for Review.
