Thanks to One More Chapter and Netgalley for this advance copy of Kiss My Glass.

If there’s one thing Frankie has learned in life, it’s that you never challenge Worse. Because when things happen and you say, ‘Well, at least things can’t get worse’, Worse is always listening… Returning to her family vineyard in California to help with the annual grape harvest is not how Frankie Armstrong wants to spend her summer, but when her sister calls in distress there’s no choice. Now she’s back in the grasp of the vines she’s hated her whole life, being confronted by memories that bring nothing but fury, and having to join forces with the sexiest arrogant jerk she’s ever had the misfortune of. Frankie’s sister might have married Danny’s brother, but that doesn’t mean they have to be friends. And the lustful thoughts Frankie’s having about Danny’s body? Merely a convenient distraction. At least, that’s what she’s trying to tell herself. Because the more time Frankie spends with Danny, the more her determination to hate him goes away…

Grumpy x sunshine, forced proximity, and a gorgeous vineyard setting? I'm in. Kiss My Glass delivers on all of the above. This book was a bit conventional, I've seen this before, kinda vibes - but that doesn't make it bad! Just not tremendously impactful. A fun read that had me craving a glass of wine!

Kiss My Glass starts strong with a promising premise: forced proximity, reverse grumpy x sunshine, family dynamics, and a charming vineyard setting. The characters are introspective, witty, and the banter is fun, and I really liked both love interests. Significant side plots detract from the romance, and the pacing felt off at times — especially the quick and tidy ending.

Though labeled as Erotica, the book features more side plot than spice, so readers expecting a lot of steamy content may be disappointed.

While it wasn’t perfect, this is still an enjoyable, easy romcom with emotional depth, ideal for a light vacation read.

This was an amazing book, I highly suggest you read the previous books of this series before reading this 3rd because I went in blind and a little bit confused.

Kiss My Glass by Catherine Robertson is book #3 in the Flora Valley series. I thought the California vineyard setting was fun, and the character dialogue was entertaining. However, the characters and relationships were lacking in emotional depth, and this was something I noticed throughout the book.

I didn't realize it was part of a series when I started, so I was confused not knowing the background and characters from the other books. If you are thinking about reading this, I recommend reading the series in order so it's more meaningful and to help understand the backstory better.

Overall, it was entertaining, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a lighthearted, quirky read. I'd rate it 3/5 stars.

Thank you to One More Chapter, HarperCollins UK, for the NetGalley ARC in exchange for my honest review.

My review and rating have been posted on Amazon and Goodreads.

Kiss My Glass was a lot of pleasure to read! Frankie was an engaging protagonist because of her witty wit and feisty attitude, and her love-hate relationship with Danny was tense and intense. The book was tough to put down because of their funny banter and the way their connection developed against the backdrop of a stunning California vineyard.

I frequently laughed aloud at Catherine Robertson's writing because it is kind, funny, and full of relatable moments. The book's exploration of deeper emotions was another aspect I adored; Frankie's conflicted thoughts about going home truly resonated with me. I didn't want to leave Flora Valley toward the end because the romance was well-paced.

I'm immediately eager to read more from this author because this was such a fun read. You'll adore this if you like funny, heartfelt, and hot enemies-to-lovers romances!

Kiss My Glass by Catherine Robertson is a sparkling and heartfelt contemporary romance set against the golden haze of California vineyards. It’s a witty, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story packed with sharp banter, simmering chemistry, and a surprising amount of emotional depth. Robertson skillfully balances humor and heartbreak, creating a story as rich and intoxicating as the wine at the center of the Armstrong family vineyard.

Frankie Armstrong is a firecracker of a protagonist—independent, biting, and fiercely protective of her sister, yet harboring a deep well of vulnerability beneath her tough exterior. Her reluctance to return to her family's vineyard is palpable, as is her lingering resentment for the life she left behind. Robertson handles Frankie’s complicated relationship with her past and her family with nuance, making her more than just a witty heroine with a chip on her shoulder. She’s a woman grappling with painful memories and trying to redefine her sense of home.

Enter Danny Durant: rugged, infuriating, and altogether too attractive for Frankie’s peace of mind. Danny is more than just a brooding love interest—he’s an equal match for Frankie in both wit and emotional baggage. The tension between them is electric from the moment they meet, and their verbal sparring is one of the novel’s highlights. Robertson writes their banter with such wit and precision that it feels like a verbal dance—sometimes playful, sometimes cutting, and always entertaining. But beneath the antagonism is a slow, organic build of mutual respect and undeniable attraction.

The vineyard setting is beautifully rendered, with its rolling hills, sun-dappled vines, and chaotic but rewarding harvest season. Robertson’s descriptions immerse the reader in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the grape harvest, adding a tactile richness to the story. The vineyard isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a metaphor for growth, resilience, and the ways people can flourish even after they’ve been pruned by life’s hardships.

Family dynamics are another strength of the novel. Frankie’s relationship with her sister and their shared history of familial disappointment adds layers to the story. The subplot involving the vineyard’s financial struggles and the tension between tradition and change creates stakes that go beyond the romance, grounding the narrative in real-world challenges.

While the enemies-to-lovers arc is familiar, Robertson’s fresh, funny voice and character-driven storytelling keep it from feeling formulaic. However, some readers may find that the pacing slows slightly in the middle as Frankie and Danny navigate their complicated feelings. There are moments where the internal back-and-forth about whether or not to act on their desires feels repetitive, but the payoff is well worth the wait.

At 4 stars, Kiss My Glass is an irresistible blend of humor, heat, and heart. Catherine Robertson’s sharp prose and nuanced characters make this more than just a steamy vineyard romance—it’s a story about confronting the past, embracing second chances, and learning that vulnerability isn’t weakness. Fans of contemporary romance with witty dialogue, strong heroines, and emotional complexity will savor every page. If you’ve ever wanted to laugh, cry, and swoon while reading about people who challenge each other in all the best ways, this one’s for you.

Catherine Robertson’s Kiss My Glass, the third instalment in the Flora Valley series, is a charming, slow-burn romance between Frankie and Danny, two strong-willed characters whose initial clashes give way to undeniable attraction.

While it offers plenty of witty banter and heartfelt family dynamics, the book doesn’t quite live up to its potential as a standalone read for me.

Frankie and Danny’s chemistry is enjoyable, with their banter providing much of the story’s charm. However, their romantic development occasionally takes a backseat to side plots that feel underdeveloped, and some secondary characters exude more chemistry than the leads. This imbalance makes the central romance feel less engaging than it could have been.

Readers new to the Flora Valley series might struggle at the start, as the story assumes familiarity with earlier books. While this might be a treat for long-time fans, those jumping in with Kiss My Glass may find themselves initially disoriented.

On the plus side, the novel features a closed-door approach to romance, making it an appealing choice for readers who prefer minimal spice. The family dynamics add warmth and depth to the narrative, creating a cosy backdrop to the central romance. However, the story’s pacing lags in places, leaving the plot feeling stagnant at times.

It was refreshing to have a main female lead to be body positive and proud to be curvier and still be portrayed as sexy and wanted!

Overall, Kiss My Glass is a pleasant, feel-good read that offers charm and heart but falls short of being truly captivating. Fans of the series will likely enjoy returning to Flora Valley, but new readers may want to start with the first book to fully appreciate the world and characters.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This third book in the Flora Valley series is a charming, slow-burn romance between Frankie and Danny, two strong-willed characters who clash at first but can’t deny their growing attraction. I definitely wish I would have read the first two books because I was pretty lost at the beginning, and I was expecting to be able to have read it as a stand alone based on the synopsis. Once I got into it, the witty banter and chemistry was enjoyable, and the family dynamics added warmth to the story. However, while the romance has its sweet moments, the pacing occasionally lags, and some side plots feel underdeveloped. I felt like some side characters had more chemistry than the MMC and FMC, and I kept waiting for the plot to pick up but it didn’t. One plus though was that there was also very little spice for people who enjoy closed door romance. Overall, it was a pleasant read, but not as captivating as I had hoped.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC of Kiss My Glass ❤️

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I don't know honestly how I ended up reading another book in this series... after book 2 I promissed myself I was done with it. Really liked the first one, but the second not so much. I really thought I was done it this! Then, this cover appeared on NetGalley and misled me into thinking it was just a cute romance. I was so stupid that I only noticed this was in the same series when I read the first chapter and the names started to appear. Only me -.-

Ok, what can I say about this one? Huh, I didn't like it. I'm sorry but no. Nothing really happened, hated the MFC and the only think that made me finish it was Danny, the MMC. The whole book was about Shelby being pregnant. The romance was again really forced and not even the spicy scenes were good.

Let's hope I don't find another pretty cover in this series to mislead me into reading another one.

Frankie wanted away from the family business- so she did until her sister called needing help so off she went to help, when she gets there ahe finds her sisters husbands brother Danny there to help as well amd they don't have the best past - the story is fun, they have a good bamter i will say this is part of a series amd while yes it is stand alone i feel like I would have understood and enjoyed it more if I'd read all the previous books but still was good read

Thanks netgalley for an arc for an honest review

There’s something so satisfying about watching two people who are absolutely perfect for each other battle their own demons while falling head over heels. It’s the kind of romance you don’t want to end, and I loved how this book balanced humor, heat, and real emotional depth. Frankie’s internal conflict had me hooked from start to finish, and Danny’s slow reveal as a more complicated character made him all the more irresistible. As they navigate their pasts and build a connection, it’s impossible not to root for them. If you’re in the mood for a summer romance with sizzle, heart, and characters who make you want to scream (in the best way possible), this is the book for you.

Kiss My Glass is a charming and heartfelt romance that beautifully combines family dynamics, witty banter, and undeniable chemistry. Frankie Armstrong’s return to her family’s California vineyard brings a mix of nostalgia and tension, especially when she clashes with the grumpy yet handsome Danny Durant. Their fiery back-and-forth is entertaining and eventually gives way to a tender and passionate connection.

The story does a fantastic job of showcasing the push-and-pull between two strong-willed characters, making their eventual romance feel earned and satisfying. The clever dialogue and insight into family relationships add depth, while the vineyard setting offers a cozy and picturesque backdrop. Frankie and Danny’s chemistry leaps off the page, and their journey from annoyance to love is equal parts frustrating and delightful.

While the romance is captivating, the pacing occasionally lags, and some moments feel slightly predictable. However, the developed characters and heartwarming resolution more than make up for it.

If you enjoy stories centered around family, strong-willed characters, and a touch of rural charm, Kiss My Glass is a delightful read.

4/5 Stars.

In this sweet modern romance, Frankie Armstrong returns to her family's vineyard in California to lend a hand to her pregnant sister. But she's not the only one who's been tapped to help out. She immediately finds herself butting heads with the handsome Danny Durant, jerk of a brother-in-law.

What begins as annoyance turns into a passionate and heartwarming connection. The story shows the push and pull between two strong (maybe even stubborn?) people who are irresistibly attracted to each other. It has plenty of clever dialogue, insight into family relationships, and developed characters. The back and forth between Frankie and Danny is charged with chemistry, making their eventual romance more delicious.

It’s an ideal read for romance enthusiasts who love strong characters, stories centred around family, and a casual dip into farming life.

I enjoyed the banter and premise within the story, I think this book was very well written and done in a very believable way!
there were parts of the book I wished were a little bit spicier but that is just my preference I couldn't put this book down though, always wanted to read on and find out what happens next.

I think this book is a celebration of love and family and I loved this book I can't recommend it enough.

Kiss My Glass is book three in the Flora Valley series by Catherine Robertson.
I really enjoyed reading her two previous titles in this series You’re So Vine and Corkscrew You.
KMG is another cute small town, spicy romcom that was really enjoyable.
Robertson’s witty and sharp writing really set the tone for this these characters.
The characters are likable and I love the way they interact and the way the storyline is written, it really was an enjoyable read.
A humorous and wonderful novel.

I just loved this book so much! This series of books are all just amazing and it’s so good getting to know the rest of the families. It has such amazing characters as well and it’s just so heartwarming it’s like a big hug, that once I start reading then I can’t put this book down.

I would highly recommend reading this book if you love a hug in a book and that is so heartwarming. This series of books are just amazing too.

I would like to thank One More Chapter and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book early.

Kiss My Glass, by Catherine Robertson, will pull you right in.  While it is very predictable, the storyline is fun and the banter will have you laughing out loud. The characters are varied and keep things interesting. Wine country setting, yes, please!Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the ARC ebook I read and reviewed. All opinions are my own.

Catherine Robertson's "Kiss My Glass" offers a pleasant journey into the world of romantic novels. The story follows Frankie Armstrong as she reluctantly returns to her family vineyard in California to help with the annual grape harvest. Faced with memories she'd rather forget and forced to work alongside the irritatingly attractive Danny Durant, Frankie finds herself navigating a complex web of emotions and unexpected desires.
As an avid reader of romantic novels, I found this book to be a decent, if somewhat conventional, addition to the genre. While the characters are amiable and relatable, and the story provides a light distraction, it ultimately lacks the depth and originality that would make it truly memorable.
"Kiss My Glass" is best suited for readers looking for a breezy romantic interlude. It's a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon but may not satisfy those craving deeper emotional engagement or innovative storytelling.

This one started out pretty well for me, I liked the premise and the banter/competitive spirit was great. Unfortunately it lost momentum and fell flat for me. There were a lot of side plots that never really developed enough to be worthwhile being included, too many side characters that had no real purpose and if I’m honest the chemistry between the MCs vanished after they decided to be together. It gets 3 stars from me because I think if I’d have been in the mindset for an easy palate cleanser book it would’ve done an ok job.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Catherine Robertson’s "Kiss My Glass" is the next in her series about two families running a picturesque California vineyard. Like the previous books, this novel has all the makings of a feel-good romance. However, it falls short in some key areas, leaving me with mixed feelings by the final chapter.

The story follows fun-loving, body-positive Frankie Armstrong, who reluctantly returns to her family vineyard to help her sister during a difficult pregnancy. Soon, she’s forced to team up with Danny Durant, her brother-in-law’s arrogant but annoyingly attractive brother. Their enemies-to-lovers dynamic has its moments, as Danny's brash banter hides his insecurity and pain of rejection by his perfectionist father.

However, the book’s primary fault lies in its tendency to over-explain. Frankie and Danny are compelling characters, but Robertson delves too deeply into their inner monologues. Almost every thought and feeling is spelled out in exhaustive detail, leaving little room for readers to infer anything on their own. This tendency bogs down the pacing, making some conversations feel unnecessarily drawn out.

Despite these shortcomings, *Kiss My Glass* has its charms. Fans family-centric romances with a touch of humor and warmth will likely find plenty to enjoy here. The novel’s imperfections don’t completely overshadow its heart, but they do prevent it from achieving its full potential.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
