À propos de cet audio
Sam doesn’t think love is in the cards. The cards disagree.
When Phoebe Stevens’ life implodes in a spectacularly public fashion, she’s desperate to escape Manhattan. So the offer of a job setting up a new Vermont gastropub couldn’t come at a better time. Driving a U-Haul on winding mountain roads is Phoebe’s personal version of hell. But when the caretaker of her guesthouse answers the door tousled, shirtless, and baking cinnamon rolls, her first impression of Vermont dramatically improves.
Sam Tremblay believes everyone gets one true love, but he’s already blown his chance. He’s spent five years avoiding relationships. Now he’s back in Colebury where sunrise tarot draws and forest hikes soothe his soul. But why do the tarot cards keep showing him this nonsense about soul mates? Could it have anything to do with the jaded city girl on his doorstep?
Playing tour guide is fun, but taste-testing her culinary creations as she shimmies her luscious hips around his kitchen is downright irresistible. Soon their chemistry burns hotter than the pub’s wood-fired oven.
Has fate brought them together for a summer of love...or a lifetime of happiness?

"Touchstone," the first book in Karen Stivali's Speakeasy Taproom Series, was my introduction to this author, and it was a pleasant, fast-paced romance that served as a refreshing cleanser from my previous reads.
The story follows Phoebe Stevens, who escapes to Vermont after a public catastrophe in Manhattan, and Sam Trembley, a man convinced he's missed his one true love. Their paths cross in the most serendipitous way when Phoebe, in desperate need of a change, takes a job setting up a new gastropub. Sam, with his belief in tarot and soulmates, is reluctantly drawn to the jaded city girl who shows up at his doorstep.
Stivali's narrative is smooth, filled with delightful moments of culinary creations and tarot card readings that hint at a deeper connection between the characters. The chemistry between Phoebe and Sam is undeniable, and their interactions are both fun and heartwarming, especially as Sam plays tour guide and Phoebe works her magic in the kitchen.
Narrators Patrick Zeller and Tanya Eby bring the characters to life with engaging performances, enhancing the overall listening experience. While the romance is sweet with just a bit of spice—enough to keep things interesting without overwhelming the story—the pacing and character development make "Touchstone" a charming read.
Overall, "Touchstone" is an enjoyable escape into a world where fate and food intertwine, proving that sometimes love can indeed be in the cards.
