— REVIEWS —

After a stellar debut novel the author doesn’t disappoint with the sequel. The Girl in the Peach Tree was a rousing roller coaster ride of emotion and adventure, the continuation of Maya Wells story is nothing short of wonderful. A romantic adventure that grabs hold of your imagination and leads you eagerly across half the world on a journey of discovery.
~ S. Murphy

What a joy catching up with Maya and following her on her adventures. All the twists and turns and surprises made it hard to put the book down!

I was eager to read Barefoot in the Dirt after finishing the first novel in The Vinho Verde series, The Girl in the Peach Tree. I wanted to know what would happen next with the main characters. The second novel moves at a fast pace. I found myself caring not just for Maya and Cristiano, but also for the other characters as their stories progressed. This author creates a mood with the setting, writes in a manner that I could feel and taste what was happening, and offers plot twists that got my heart pumping. I can’t wait for the final book in the series.
