You know I love a good romance series!  Diamond Dreams is the first in a new series by Day featuring the Drakes of California. This one is set in the Napa Valley, wine country, as the Drakes own a vineyard there on land owned by one of their ancestors. Diamond is the only girl in her family and the marketing director for the vineyard and works hard to prove that she is just as good as her brothers and father. Jackson Wright is a contractor working on a new hotel on the Drake property and his initial meeting with Diamond is interesting as they are attracted to each other but neither is especially keen on mixing business with pleasure. That’s a battle they eventually lose. 


Although Diamond and Jackson get together early in the story, the real plot comes from the secrets to be revealed from his past and convincing her family that their relationship is real. This was a quick read and I wish there was a little more substance to the story, I look forward to reading others in the series.
