But working with Chris McDermott, the company’s no-nonsense president, is anything but easy.

As they travel from New York to Napa, Paris, and the Champagne region of France, their partnership blossoms amid high-stakes industry rivalries and a launch that could make or break them.

"The Champagne Crush by Caroline O’Connell is a contemporary romance filled with international adventure, sparkling chemistry, and personal reinvention. Catherine Reynolds is a former socialite suddenly cut off by her diplomat parents. She must prove she’s more than a privileged party girl. Desperate for financial independence, she takes a job as a PR consultant for a luxury sparkling wine company. Chris McDermott, the company’s stern and uncompromising president, becomes an immediate problem as their personalities clash. Their professional tension is fueled by undeniable attraction as they travel from New York to Napa, Paris, and the famed Champagne region of France. As Catherine fights to make a name for herself in a high-stakes industry, she must navigate sabotage, rivalries, and the complexities of her growing feelings for Chris. With glamorous settings and a slow-burn romance, The Champagne Crush delivers a delightful mix of ambition, passion, and effervescence.
Author Caroline O’Connell crafts a heroine to root for in Catherine and, when paired with the brooding but irresistible Chris, a fantastic and playful tension keeps the momentum going from cover to cover. The romance is just as bubbly as the title suggests, blending luxury, love, and career ambition seamlessly for a stylish tale that's enjoyable to flow along with. The international settings also sparkle just as much as the undeniable chemistry between the leads, and I loved the vivid and exciting descriptions that O’Connell uses to bring everything to life. Overall, The Champagne Crush is a recommended read for fans of modern love stories that prove how second chances and self-discovery can be as intoxicating as fine champagne."
