Description
One canceled pastry chef.
One rising wine maker.
One savory scandal!
Just in time for summer—Steady Now author Liberty Stowe, brings you Bottled Up—an interconnected standalone and book two of the Vogel Springs Collection.
A slow-burn, high-heat, small-town romance where an infamous pastry chef and an international winemaker find themselves bound by one contract and the press they can’t avoid.
It’s been over nine months. I thought they were done with photos of me, at the very least. There’s got to be a more tragic story to print than mine.
I’m not hiding. I’m rebuilding. On my terms.
The headlines scream, World-Renowned Pastry Chef Delilah Mueller Flees Manhattan… but I’ve got one hell of a secret that won’t make it to print.
I’m going back home. To my roots. And they don’t know where home is - until the quiet reset awaiting me in Vogel Springs is interrupted by a swarm of media and everything I’ve been avoiding. Courtesy of world-renowned winemaker, August Montenegro.
What are the odds two planes from different continents would land in the same airport. Seeking the same Texas town. It’s not even on a proper map, and yet they’ve found me… and so has he.
A stranger with crystal pools for eyes that sparkle like the Caribbean under the sun when they meet mine. A man who is standing in the middle of a crowd of press I would do anything to avoid.
If I don’t keep my distance from August Montenegro, I’ll hurt everyone I love… him. I’ll hurt him, too.
“This is your last chance.” His voice deep, smooth and visceral.
I lick my lips as I keep my gaze locked on his.
He sighs, drops his head and shakes it. “Run, Delilah.”

Liberty Stowe has done it again!
I hoped for a return to Vogel Springs, and by popular demand this author did it! Does this second book mean we get a full series! Because I must say , I am LOVING my trips to the Hill Country and the town I think my entire book club wants to move to!!!
Okay: The review: In terms of a small town romance, Liberty Stowe is the first author next to Lucy Score, who truly incorporates the town and its very well developed characters. She creates a cast you FALL IN LOVE with and book 2 did not disappoint! Anderson, Cal, Tiny, Martha, Conner and no spoilers, so I'll stop there! Just top notch how she incorporated them all in a way that served the plot and themes of book two so specifically. This book was just beautifully crafted, and if I'm being completely critical and honest... Liberty Stowe brings much more depth, research, and uniqueness to her stories than the Lucy Score "quirk" or "camp" and the tropey/I already figured it out same old set up we are consistently hit with. This is the second book in what I'm hoping will be a series. She's calling it her "Vogel Springs Collection," so fingers crossed. And it is my third book of this author's to read since her debut, Steady Now, book 1 of the Vogel Springs Collection.
Some highlights.... If you read Liberty Stowe, you know she writes spice well. I think, "Well done spice" is a tagline on most of my reviews for her. It's often hard for me to give small town romance five stars, but she just gets me every time. I ENJOY the ride, the anticipation, and identifying with her characters, so this second book gets a five from me as well. *You see the vineyard, and you think the plot or story is typical.... No way! This was so unexpected. MMC: August & FMC: Delilah are on a league of there own. Liberty Stowe gives these two an old soul sophistication that makes their spicy scenes ravenous. These two are true lovers. Welcome to romance without the cheesy stick!
Bottled Up is the most unique small town romance book I've read, yet it still honors its genre, hitting all the marks for why we covet and read this romance comfort staple so much. Who doesn't like exploring fictitious towns that welcome you with open arms? If there is any hope out there... Vogel Springs is real, and so are its residents.
This is the Texas Hill Country author, read, and hopefully full series you won't want to miss.
Sorry Small Town Romance authors, I'm afraid Liberty Stowe raised the bar with this one!
