Oh my god! I cant belive how good this book was! I was in need of a really good love story, not those soppy ones that are sometimes published by arabesque. Anyways, Janice Sims makes you fall in love with every single one of her characters in every book! I loved the relationship between Joshua and Erica straight away and all the secondary characters had good storylines too unlike some other books where the writers just forget about them. I really cant wait for the two sequels as I'm eager to see what happens with Franklyn and Elise and Jason and Sara. I love ALL Janice Sims books! (Written by a 14 year old)
True Love, Like A Fine Wine, Is To Be Savored!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
In "Waiting For You", American Erica Bryant travels to France to hone her skills as a winemaker. While there she literally bumps into Joshua Knight. It turns out, Joshua (also a winemaker) is the very boy Erica had a crush on when she was a little girl. Only that was no crush...he's no longer a boy...and she's certainly not a little girl anymore! Need I say more? Well, let me say that HOT is an understatement when describing the reacquainting of Erica and Joshua. This sister has found her "Knight" and she learns just what to do with him. In other words, Erica hones more than her winemaking skills. Whew! Janice Sims has sparks flying all over the wine French countryside! She introduces her readers to interesting places and she does it with unmatched descriptive skill. You'll feel like you've had a vacation in Burgundy, France. It's a given that this couple finds true love and discovers that they can't live without each other. But the author skillfully brings them back to America and introduces the reader to a whole new set of characters. All of the secondary characters are well developed. And the exciting part is there are plans for sequels starring Erica's brothers sometime next year. The one thing a Janice Sims novel will do for you is leave you longing for more, more, more. This one is no different! I don't believe I can wait a year for Franklyn or Jason's stories Ms. Sims...bump the deadline up!
Waiting for More . . .

Ms. Sims can't write fast enough to feed her hungry audience, but when she serves up delicious stories like "Waiting For You," we come away sated and this time a little buzzed on wine. [I still have a sappy grin on my face after imbibing on this story]. We learn so much from a Janice Sims' novel and this time it is the wine industry. That's why her novels appeal to so many. She always takes us to a new level of knowledge and interest. Her characters come to life and teach us at the same time. Like her stories, Janise Sims is a wine expert; not a 40 oz. novelist like some others who write in this genre. I just wish she could write faster . . .
Cheer's!!!!!!!!!

Again Ms Sim's has given us character's we can sink our souls into. Erica and Joshua passion for each other knew no bounds. A must read that will be a re-read for this reader many times over. I can't wait for the next installment of this trilogy.
1st book in Bryant Winery Trilogy: from RENDEZVOUS Mar 2005
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Erica Bryant is in France to learn more about wine making to start a new strain of grapes for her parents' winery which she hopes to run one day. What she didn't come to France for was romance, but that's what she gets when she meets Joshua Knight, the head enologist of one of France's best wine growers. Joshua met Erica when they were teenagers and there was something between them then but tragedy sent his family away. This time he intends to explore everything between them. When Erica figures out who Joshua is, she knows it was meant for them to meet again. Joshua's plans to begin his own winery are put on hold when his employer announces Joshua as his replacement instead of his daughter, Dominique. Dominique gets engaged to Erica's best friend Hubert despite a feud between their families. Her father's sexist attitudes has Dominique giving up on ever running the winery. After an argument, someone frames her for trying to sabotage the wine barrels and with Erica's help they go looking for answers. Erica's glad to help. For the price of one book readers get double the romance in this charming love story set amidst a romantic setting complete with intrigue and sensuality. Reviewer, Darlene Kendall.
