The Memory of You By Catherine West


Thirteen years ago, Natalie lost a part of herself when her twin sister died. Will traveling back to the family winery finally put the memory to rest, or will it completely destroy her?
When Natalie Mitchell learns her beloved grandfather has had a heart attack, she’s forced to return to their family-owned winery in Sonoma, something she never intended to do. She’s avoided her grandparents’ sprawling home and all its memories since the summer her sister died—the awful summer Natalie’s nightmares began. But the winery is failing, and Natalie’s father wants her to shut it down. As the majority shareholder, she has the power to do so.
And Natalie never says no to her father.
Tanner Collins, the vintner on Maoilios, is trying to salvage a bad season and put the Mitchell family’s winery back in business. When Natalie Mitchell shows up, Tanner sees his future about to be crushed. Natalie intends to close the gates, unless he can convince her otherwise. But the Natalie he remembers from childhood is long gone, and he’s not so sure he likes the woman she’s become. Still, the haunted look she wears hints at secrets he wants to unearth. He soon discovers that on the night her sister died, the real Natalie died too. And Tanner must do whatever it takes to resurrect her.
But finding freedom from the past means facing it.

I loved this book. I am a fan of West and I can tell you first hand you are going to really enjoy this book. Tanner and Natalie  are the perfect characters for this beach read. Hal was the kind of grandpa we all want.
I never put it down from page one it had me.
Loss and love and a happy ending.
I did get a little bit upset at the book ending, I didn't want it to end.
I got lost in this book. I can't wait to see what's next from West.
I gave this book 4 stars. I HIGHLY recommend this book!
I received  this book from the publisher for review. A favorable was not required and all views expressed are my own.
