If you love the Hallmark Channel, this book's for you. Unfortunately, that is not my cuppa. I was a bit intrigued with the first book in this apparent series, but was majorly disappointed with this one. I thought I would, perhaps, find out some inside info re the wine growing industry, but, alas, did not (could have learned more via Wikipedia). I didn't find the characters to be particularly developed beyond their first intro'd description. I really wanted to love this book--perhaps I would have...
At first, I didn't think I'd read the entire story because it got off to a slow start without a clear direction. However, there were two things that changed my mind. The setting was perfect, and it became as much a "character" as any of the people in the cast. The author subtly captured the feel of a wine area under development with "old" locals and their resentment at the gentrification of where they'd lived for a long time. The conflict arising between wine growers and back-country residents--...
As I've said before, I'm not very good at doing reviews, other than giving my own humble opinion. Boo Walker is a new author for me and I'm so loving his books. He writes with his heart, and tells a story that can make you laugh and also bring you to tears. His characters are like family, funny, cantankerous, flawed and even some that reminds you of people you know. Red Mountain Rising continues their story. I loved the first book and I love this one. You will too! Keep them coming, Boo Walker.
I love the characters in the Red Mountain series.
Reads like a soap opera!I read the first book and was somewhat disappointed, but decided to give the second in the series a chance. Sorry to say it, but it was much like the first...no meat to the plot!
Just a soap Predictable story line, shallow characters. Could have had more depth and development. I won’t be following this series anymore. Mostly I like the location and descriptions.
Loved the booksI purchased Red Mountain after seeing an ad on Facebook. I was all set to start reading, when I saw their was a prequel, so I purchased that book. I'm glad I started with the prequel because it gave me a lot of background on Margot. Love her and all the characters that you brought to life for me in your Red Mountain Chronicles. Looking forward to reading more of your books, Boo. Thanks for writing such a great story.
I don't know if I'm a masochist or eternal optimist. I've now read three of the Red Mountain books, and truly found I didn't like or care about a single character. You have the woman whose husband cheats and she "releases pressure" by taking long baths and drinking wine while imagining murdering him (the prequel really set her up as a wacko), then becomes desperate for a man and takes yo-yo dieting to a whole new level. A grouchy older man who has a pretty decent life overall (yeah, he's had som...
This is the much anticipated sequel to Red Mountain. Red Mountain was a great read but it left you hanging at the end. By the time the sequel Red Mountain Rising came out, I had to go back and re-read parts of the first book. Questions were answered in the 2nd one like I had hoped, but overall the 2nd book was a total disappointment. Too many over the top silly incidents. I often wondered if this great author was encouraged by his editors to add a little spice. It didn’t work for me and I also w...
The second book in the series continues with the stories of the main characters. There is also the addition of Adriana and her son Zack. Happenings are not always expected. "Boo Walker has returned to wine country for the sequel to his powerful, best-selling novel, Red Mountain. Join four wildly colorful characters as they search for life, love, and meaning in a tiny wine-growing region in the desert of eastern Washington State.Otis Till, the grapefather of Red Mountain, has regained his senses
Maybe down the road there's a third book, this one is full of new beginningsRed Mountain is a sterling book full of great characters and a passion for wine making. Red Mountain Rising is a lovely sequel which doubles the pleasure. There is so much that goes into making wine, personally, I loved learning about the prime ingredient of a great vintage, tertiary. The wine is Red Mountain and Red Mountain is the wine. To the wonderful folks who live there and their newly found partners, I raise a gla...
