A second chance romance set during a food and wine tour throughout Europe. The two main characters are childhood friends turned lovers, then estranged exes, and then lots of secret pining for each other during the trip. I really loved Kit and their character development. The dual POV felt abrupt since you get Theo's in the first half of the book and then switch to Kit's right after their first kiss, so you don't get Theo's response to that event, and Kit's POV picks up the next day so that felt a little disappointing since it was a slow burn (w/ lots of 🌶️🌶️🌶️ with other partners) but enjoyed the cute rekindling and authenticity of their romance
