I was so excited when this book came available! Tessa Bailey has been my favorite author since Romancing the Clarkson back in 2016. I was so glad when It Happened One Summer got BookTok famous and the rest of her catalogue took off. She's my Queen of Dirty Talk and Snark and I would read the phone book if she put her spin on it.
Unfortunately Yours is the second in the duology. I actually enjoyed this story more then the first one.
Natalie Vos is the daughter of wine country royalty, who came back to Napa Valley jobless, almost broke and on her way to being an alcoholic.
August Cates is a retired Navy Seal hellbent on starting his own winery. Too bad she's got an awful attitude and hes horrid at making wine.
Until one day they strike up a deal. A marriage of convivence. No Love ofcourse. Maybe just some hate banging.
They are both hard headed strong willed people. There is lots of sexual tension, SO MUCH SNARK. (I love me a sassy woman)
I laughed out loud a lot. The book as a whole was entertaining. Their attraction to each other was smokin'. I'm not sure they would work IRL but in a romance novel, everyone gets their HEA.
This was another 5 Star Tessa Bailey for me. She keeps knocking it out of the park, and I keep eating it up. Cant wait to see what she comes up with next.

I always forget the audiobooks are only available on netgalley app which I don't find user friendly.

Tessa Bailey does it again! I just love her duologies at this point. They are just killer. This book followed one of my favorite tropes -marriage of convenience and these two were just fabulous together. August was both a goof ball and a teddy bear with a protective side. Natalie is fighting an image people have of her. There were times throughout where I just wanted to shake them and yell to just TALK about it. Idk if it slips into miscommunication as much as just not completely communicating.

Overall, loved this duology.

Another winner from Tessa Bailey. I loved the characters. August and Natalie’s banter was laugh out loud, funny. The spice on point as usual. I was happy to be back in the Vos Vineyard world. Just an all around enjoyable read.

Unfortunately Yours that will ping the heart of many readers as Tessa Bailey writes another great romance novel. Sure to please her many fans.Thank you Netgalley and publisher.

Sham wedding, Tessa Bailey, and a vineyard? Yes please! I love her books so much. Each one is just its own little world to crawl into to escape life with cute, fun characters.

Very cute and fast read. August and Natalie's attraction from the start was sizzling... only grew over time. Loved it

This book was so cute! Definitely a feel good falling for each other story. Tessa Bailey is a must buy for my library, she is very popular.

This is only the second book by Tessa Bailey that I have read (the first was Secretly Yours) and I'm already in love. She keeps building these characters that are addictive to read about and so easy to fall in love with. They're extremely relatable and funny.
In Unfortunately Yours, I instantly found myself in love with August. To not give anything away about his character, I'll just say that he's exactly my type.
The best thing about this book was reading the banter between August and Natalie. They actually had me laughing out loud multiple times throughout the book.
I ca . n't wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this when it comes out in June! I'll definitely be re-reading this.

Tessa Bailey is now in my top 5 romance authors of all times. I know that I can depend on her to create a story that I will love

This is a completely irrelevant statement to make in a book review, but we named our dog Napa... yes, after the Valley, so I loved the setting of Unfortunately Yours. Tessa Bailey is so good at writing page-turners that are fun and decadent - always making a setting feel like a place you want to be. And I want to be at a winery in Napa with a Navy SEAL, even if we fight constantly, but OMG - the PASSION (yes, I really, really identified with Natalie). Natalie and August are the perfect enemies-to-lovers combo. There's swoon and spice as the unlikely pair find a balance in their spur-of-the-moment marriage of convenience, but there is also the treating women with the respect they deserve. This is not a one-note story, but a nicely blended vintage with notes of all the right flavors made bold and bright with Bailey's wit that shines through in her characters. Treat yourself - Unfortunately Yours is a good read!

I read Unfortunately Yours right after Secretly Yours, and loved it even more than the first. The banter between August and Natalie was top notch and made me laugh out loud. Tessa Bailey is great at writing characters that could veer on the edge of being one note, but then she makes them completely relatable and the reader falls in love with them and never wants to leave them. The drama between the two was the perfect level, and the epilogue tied everything together nicely. The depth added to the characters with August's friendship with Sam and Natalie's insecurities added layers to story. The added depth added enough emotion to ground the story, but did not go overboard into angst (the perfect balance). This is a great, quick romantic comedy and sure to please all Tessa Bailey fans.

Did we all collectively fall for the dad in The Parent Trap? If you did, you need to read Unfortunately Yours. Enemies to lovers? Set in a Vineyard? Reluctantly pushed together? Marriage of convenience?!? What are you waiting for? Tessa Bailey made this book for us. I had the best time reading this book. It was so fun, flirty, and absolutely something I could read again and again.

This took me a little bit to get into, but once I was in, I was hooked! Tessa Bailey creates characters that are just so fun and lovely, you can't help but root for them. This was such a fun premise and I absolutely devoured this book!

Such a cute story! I love a good "marriage of convenience" and this one didn't disappoint. I usually am not a fan of SEALs as love interests, but August changed my mind!

I enjoyed Secretly Yours overall, but I liked this a lot better. Our main characters are Natalie Vos, sister to Julian Vos from Secretly Yours, and August Cates, former Navy Seal and current terrible wine maker. These two had an explosive argument in the first book and they spend much of this book still throwing verbal barbs at one another. Natalie, who was ousted from her Wall Street job after a bad trade and subsequently dumped by her fiance, has been back in St. Helena at her family winery, drinking a lot and trying to figure out how to get back to New York. She has an opportunity to start her own boutique firm, but she needs capital. Unfortunately, her trust fund was set up with some pretty archaic rules by her now absent father - in order to get access to the funds, she has to be both gainfully employed and married. She comes up with a way to get her money and help August get the small business loan he needs to get his failing winery back on solid ground - a marriage of convenience. I found these two very funny together and I really enjoyed their chemistry and banter. I also liked that both of them had some wounds to heal from, and that they managed to help each other get part of the way there. Another solid contemporary from Tessa Bailey.

The beginning of the book was definitely a little choppy but I ended up enjoying the second half. I did find the two main characters to be pretty cheesy and occasionally funny. As always Tessa Bailey is the queen of dirty scenes.

A diehard fan of Tessa Bailey and a lover of the first book in this duet, SECRETLY YOURS, I was eager to get my hands on the sequel, UNFORTUNATELY YOURS. Unfortunately (rather aptly), this one missed the mark. The romance did not capture me, neither did either character's personal journeys.

A really steamy, fun follow up to Secretly Yours, with characters that I was intrigued about from the first book. Loved the banter and tension. Another great read from Tessa Bailey!

My expectations for Natalie & August's story was high after reading "Secretly Yours" and this just didn't do it for me! Both the individuals and their relationship felt like a letdown after their introduction in the first book.

I got major vibes of "he's pulling your hair because he likes you" throughout the book. I just couldn't appreciate all the trash talk. Natalie and August never managed to get over the antagonism or the dramatics. I feel like both leads had a long way to go in their own growth before this story could really come together.

"Unfortunately Yours" could be read as a standalone, but I think is better appreciated after reading the first title in the series. Natalie and August's relationship has a strong start in "Secretly Yours" and their story relies quite heavily on the dynamics of the Vos family.

This was swoony, spicy, and super fun! It was back to Napa to see if Natalie Vos can piece her life together again after a devastating job and relationship loss in NYC. Along comes August Cates, with his emotional trauma and inability to make wine anywhere close to drinkable. What follows is an enemies to lovers, forced proximity rom com that you won't want to put down!

I struggled to get into this one, even though I LOVE Tessa Bailey and always will read her titles. I think it just took me longer than normally to get invested in their relationship and be hooked to their chemistry. I think readers of the series will enjoy!
