“A refrigerator?” she asked. “For what?”
“For eggs of course. I have lots of wine, but I also have a lot of dang eggs… and seriously, those free range chickens, they just keep making more free range chickens and more eggs. I hate to waste them. My workers just built a bigger henhouse to accommodate them. I can sell the overage, but we’ll need a refrig to keep them cold.”
“I love that idea.” Tegan hugged him and laughed. “And, I love you… and your chickens.”
Then he kissed her again and she loved that too.

The Love List
Love Uncorked
Jennifer Conner
Story 1
Tegan Taylor is the owner of the Que Syrah Syrah wine shop in Vine grove, the heart of wine country. After her plan of starting a book club to meet single, local men falls flat, her new found friends come up with The Love List. Each dropped a name of a nice guy their friends may like but just not a guy they’d date. Or think of romantically.
Tegan chooses Richard. After one disastrous meeting with him, Tegan wonders if The Love List isn’t a terrible idea.
Richard’s a jerk. But, when handsome Australian cowboy, August, shows up, things may take a turn.
Read book one in the Love List Series as Tegan, Chloe, Laura and Becca try to find love in a small town.
Love Found Me
Sharon Kleve
Story 2
When it’s Chloe Miles turn to pick a name out of The Love List she hadn’t expected to find true love. She just wanted to go on a date with a nice, available guy. Not one who drank too much, or was unemployed and wanted to stay that way. Or especially one who didn’t know what monogamous meant.
Mitch Brodin didn’t know his heart was in the hands of The Love List. His Fate set the moment he set foot into Roy’s Pet Rescues looking for advice on how to care for new born kittens.
Chloe is vivacious, unpredictable, and tons of fun, while he is methodical, predictable, and well… cynical. He surely hadn’t planned on falling in love. But that’s what you get when you’re not looking for love.
Blind Tasting

Building up To Love
Joanne Jaytanie
Story 4
A small town can be a quaint, friendly place to call home. It can also be an impossible place to find a date. When Tegan, the owner of Que Syrah Syrah wine shop starts a Tuesday night singles-mingle, Laura, Chloe, and Becca are the only attendees—not a single man in sight. They continue to meet every Tuesday, but secretly change their name to The Love List. Each woman writes the name of a few single men who they know and drop them into a basket. All four women draw from this basket and promise to ask the man they have drawn on a date. The Love List seems a success as one by one the women find their true love. Except in Laura’s case, date after date she is plagued with losers. She is certain the basket is cursed.
Travis Jerome comes to Vine Grove to help his ailing grandparents. He notices a “Help Wanted” sign outside of a Victorian house and jumps at the chance to get back to his roots and have the feel of a hammer in his hand. He gets an extra bonus when he meets the attractive owner of the home, Laura Tate. Unfortunately she doesn’t appear to have the least bit of interest in him.
Love isn’t always impossible to find, sometimes it can be right in plain sight.
