I thought that this was a great start to a new series by Sophie Lark. This book really introduced all of the charters well, and I cannot wait to read all of their stories!

Sparrow and Vine by Sophie Lark, published by Sourcebooks Bloom Books, is the first in thiss new series.
Sadie and Monroe's story is a marriage of convenience, mixed with a bit of mystery, an intriguing read. Kind like the Montagues and Capulets, both are from deeply opposite families, are destined to be in an arranged marriage.
I liked the writing, the plottwist and characters pretty quick, could connect with story and characters, 5 stars.

I do like my enemies to lovers married...

"Sparrow and Vine" portrays quite an unusual marriage of convenience between members of two rival families, but it's much more complicated too. Why unusual, you may ask? It's just simply pure.

Sadie and Monroe felt like the best pair of partners in crime.
But gosh, I'm looking forward to the next books, like don't even get me started on GraysonJune and HeathHazel!

Well this is a fun series setup.

Sadie x Monroe 💕
Rival families
Romeo x Juliet vibes
Marriage of convenience
Winery/vineyard
Little mystery (that I feel is going to woven through the two other books)
Hockey boy

This was not what I was expecting! But it was cute and kept me reading.
I like the other siblings having very different personalities.

Arc review ✨

It’s a little sad. A little bittersweet. A lot funny. And honestly, super sweet when you realize why Monroe and Sadie are doing this. They may seem like the most unlikely of duos, but they’re in this together. They both want to save their family legacies, even if it means playing a little dirty. They both wish fervently for love, even when they won’t admit it. Okay, one won’t. But they still both fall….

This has the makings of an excellent series. A family on the brink. Another family that feels as distant as strangers. An incredibly angry, spiteful, bitter soul bent on taking it all. Maybe two are bent on that. And the manipulations don’t seem to stop, even when they clearly never win. And amid all of this, Sadie and Monroe fall for real. They love and support and flourish and I already can’t wait for more. I have a feeling there are some big secrets between H people and there’s going to be some chaos when the one who doesn’t wish to be near dirt likely falls for the one who feels that the honest dirt of this land soothes her soul.

“There are eight billion people on this planet, and you’re exactly what I need. Every part of you, exactly as you are. I don’t believe that’s just chance.”

I think I expected a different type of book from the synopsis?

What I liked:

I like the idea of this series. Warring families over a winery, three brothers versus three sisters. It all sounds like a perfect set up.

I liked the sisters relationships with each others and the brothers relationships with each other. The supporting characters were fun…give me more Jack and Coralina.

What didn’t work for me:

I think I was expecting more of an enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers from the synopsis of the book. It seemed like from the very beginning Monroe and Sadie were working together and on the same side.

I didn’t really get the love between Monroe and Sadie. The chemistry wasn’t there for me at all..

Sophie Lark knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. This is my first book by her but won’t be my last.
Such a twisted and gripping family saga and I cannot wait for the next book!

A fun marriage of convenience story set in a contemporary setting! Sadie Sorrow and Monroe Beaumont marry each other in hopes to save Sparrow and Vine from being sold. Despite the anger from their siblings, the two begin to live together and trust each other, despite the odds.

This was a super fun, quick read! I really enjoyed each interacting between Sadie and Monroe, some of the banter and how they learned more and more about each other and of their combined resilience to save the place Sadie has always known and Monroe has always wanted to know.

They are a sweet, wholesome couple and I adored them! I’m so glad that we will get to see more of the Sparrow and Vine in the next book. I can’t wait to see more of them and all the siblings!

Definitely recommend to those who enjoy a good romance with family drama, secrets and a good bit of spice.

Thank you NetGalley and SourceBooks Bloom Books for the chance to read this fun contemporary romance!
