The 10 Greatest Nora Roberts Books of All Time (or Just For Beach Season)

There are so many exquisitely executed romance tropes in The Villa that it's hard to know where to start. Sophia Giambelli is a PR whiz who loves working for her family's winery, but after a merger, she finds herself training the infuriating (and earthy) Tyler MacMillan. The hate-to-love plot is addictive, as is the touch of mystery surrounding the burgeoning romance of the two wine-loving characters. The lushness of The Villa is easy to get lost in, but it's a standout because of how easy it is to root for the central couple.
