Blurb

His voice enthralls her. Her vibrancy awakens him.

Ashley White can’t wait to begin her internship at Steel Vineyards. As an oenology doctoral candidate, she knows all the theory but lacks practice. Working under renowned winemaker Ryan Steel—and his equally talented nephew, Dale—is an opportunity she can’t refuse.

Dale Steel is a loner. Despite his huge family full of uncles, aunts, and cousins, he’s more at home in his vineyards, where he finds something that comes close to the tranquility he craves. He’ll never find true peace, and he’s accepted his fate…until his new intern shows up and turns the only world he knows upside down.

Ashley awakens emotions in Dale that he never dreamed possible, and though he resents her intrusion into his life, he can’t deny the sparks that blaze between them. Still, he must remain distant. To succumb to his growing feelings would provoke something else entirely—the darkness he keeps hidden even from himself.

My Review
5 Stars
Awakened by Helen Hardt is book 16 in the Steel Brothers Saga.  This stars the story of Dale Steel and Ashley White. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this one so I do think you should read the previous book...especially the First "Craving" as Dale is the adopted son of Talon and Jade from that book.  Dale has grown up and this is the start of his story.  Dale due to his past prefers to be alone with just his dog and the vines in the winery the family has.  This keeps Dale's past feelings safe and not in the present.  Then Ashley comes into his life and feelings start to surface that he hasn't wanted to face or deal with.  Ashley is working toward her Doctoring in Oenology. When her friend Diana Steel (sister to Dale) invites her to stay at Steel Ranch along with interning under Ryan Steel and Dale she of course excepts the offer.  Ashley hasn't had a easy life either and has worked to become something more so this internship means a lot to her.  But then she starts having feelings for the Dale who doesn't feels she is needed or really want her there.  Ms. Hardt knows how to write the books that draw you end and keeps those pages turning.  I can't wait to read more from this author and the next installment in this series.
