From the USA Today bestselling author of A Curve in the Road comes a sweeping and captivating tale of one woman’s journey to the lush vineyards of Tuscany—and into the mysteries of a tragic family secret.

If Fiona has learned anything in life, it’s how to keep a secret—even from the father who raised her. She is the only person who knows about her late mother’s affair in Tuscany thirty years earlier, and she intends to keep it that way…until a lawyer calls with shocking news: her biological father has died and left her an incredible inheritance—along with two half siblings.

Fiona travels to Italy, where the family is shocked to learn of her existence and desperate to contest her share of the will. While the mystery of her mother’s affair is slowly unraveled, Fiona must navigate through tricky family relationships and tense sibling rivalries. Fiona both fears and embraces her new destiny as she searches for the truth about the fateful summer her mother spent in Italy and the father she never knew.

Spilling over with the sumptuous flavors and romance of Tuscany, These Tangled Vines takes readers on a breathtaking journey of love, secrets, sacrifice, courage—and most importantly, the true meaning of family.

From the Publisher

If you are like me and miss traveling, let bestselling author Julianne MacLean take you on an instant vacation to the sun-drenched vineyards of Tuscany within the pages of her newest novel, These Tangled Vines. From the sweet tang of grapes on my tongue to the warm embrace of sun on my skin to the soothing sound of gentle winds rustling the branches of olive trees, I found myself truly transported for the hours I was immersed within this tale.

But I must warn you, this all-inclusive trip does come with strings attached (and, you guessed it, tangled)—in the form of tantalizing family drama and secrets from the past begging to be uncovered. So pack your bags and join Fiona on her search to unravel the truth about the biological father she never met, that fateful summer her parents spent in Italy three decades ago, and whether her half siblings will get their way or if her contested inheritance will stand.

Set your status to “Do Not Disturb” and enjoy the ride—it’s going to be a bumpy one, but the destination will be worth it in the end.

- Alicia Clancy, Editor

Beautiful

Reviewed in Australia on 23 July 2021

I really enjoyed this story. I could picture the characters and the settings. The storyline was believable and reflected some truths about human nature. At first I was uncomfortable about the infidelity side of the story but it was handled honestly and the consequences we do encounter. We live in a world with romantic outlooks on life. This was more real.

For those who enjoy reading about life, love, loss & acceptance, this is a book for you. Amazing characters who make one look at oneself, about choices and consequences. I could not put it down.

It’s a nice story.
It’s family past history and mistakes made albeit with good intentions.
Has drama of course romance and secrets.
I enjoyed the book could have done without the continuous floral descriptions.

This is the first novel I have read by this author, and I highly recommend. I enjoyed the characters in the book, and importantly, the author's writing style - I want to go back to Italy now! I hope that this perhaps becomes a series, where we find out where Fiona's journey takes her, not to mention that of Sloane and Connor. Thanks for a great book!

I have always dreamed of the love connection that is so deeply entwined in twin flames, continual connections between souls.
Julianne thank you for taking me deep into the essence of Tuscany and a love hotter than the summer and far more infinite than our 3D reality.

As as Tuscan I expected more from this I was totally bored and was not able to finish a story that was so predictable.

Absurd!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2021

Verified Purchase

As this was free from Amazon Prime, I at least didn’t waste any money on it, so it gets one star for that and another because it is written in reasonably literate English. However, the characters never seem to achieve any depth or credibility and the plot is simply absurd. I was aware that this was an ‘escapist’ novel before I began reading it, but I did not expect that it would leave reality quite so far behind. Just as an example, our heroine, Fiona, jumps on a plane almost immediately that she receives the surprising news that she has inherited a vineyard in Tuscany, speaking not a word of Italian. Yet, from the moment she arrives in the country, she appears to meet not a single person who does not speak fluent, idiomatic English. I blame myself for stepping outside my comfort zone and downloading something which I knew to be outside the usual range that I read, but I had seriously not expected it to be this bad.

Easy read but not recommended

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2021

Verified Purchase

My feeling was that the author only had very limited experience of Italy. She certainly doesn’t have a feel for the linguistics and all the locals seem to speak English fluently and without accents Hmmmm! The two heroines, mother and daughter, both seem to suffer from fluttering bellies. I got so annoyed with the mention of bellies that I searched the number of occurrences. One dozen belly references in total. It is an easy read but I would hesitate to recommend it to a friend. Not the finest addition to this year's literary offerings.

Formulaic, but readable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2021

Verified Purchase

A good book for reading on holiday. (Spoiler alert) Struggling daughter finds mothers secret, biological father appears, dies and leaves wine estate to struggling daughter, other kids get angry. Daughter's (non-biological) invalid father needs care, knows about mother's secret and daughter's genesis but doesn't let on. Daughter confused, but all plays out with a fairy tale ending. Romantic nonsense at its best!!

What a beautiful read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2021

Verified Purchase

This has definitely been one of my favourite reads in years. The way it is written, the detail of how everything looks, sounds, tastes, smells and feels, incredible. I felt myself being transported into a different world full of beauty and nature's best parts, even though I've never been to Italy it felt so very real. The story itself has so many layers, twists and turns it made me want to keep on reading at the end of every single chapter.

Quite superficial

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2021

Verified Purchase

This book started with so much promise and I really was enjoying it. Unfortunately, it just descended into a Mills and Boon novel. Anything that was supposed to be insightful quite simply wasn’t. Also, the husband is painted very badly in this book, at fault for everything whilst the daughter does not, but should, appear to harbour any ill will towards her “sainted mother”. Let’s face it, the mother ruined everyone’s life, including her daughter’s but it is not portrayed as such. In addition to this, there is almost a canonisation of Anton who is described by others as a tyrant, a thread that was never picked up on. Lots of opportunities here, all of which were sadly missed.
