We are excited to feature Jamie Brenner's latest novel, Blush, today. Melissa has enjoyed her previous novels and has this one in her five-book pile. It looks like the perfect beach or pool read. Thanks to Putnam, we have FIVE copies to give away!
From acclaimed author Jamie Brenner comes a stunning new novel about three generations of women who discover that the scandalous books of their past may just be the key to saving their family's future. For decades, the Hollander Estates winery has been the premier destination for lavish parties and romantic day trips on the North Fork of Long Island. But behind the lush vineyards and majestic estate house, the Hollander family fortunes have suffered and the threat of a sale brings old wounds to the surface. For matriarch Vivian, she fears that this summer season could be their last—and that selling their winery to strangers could expose a dark secret she's harbored for decades. Meanwhile, her daughter, Leah, who was turned away from the business years ago, finds her marriage at a crossroads and returns home for a sorely needed escape. And granddaughter Sadie, grappling with a crisis of her own, runs to the vineyard looking for inspiration.
But when Sadie uncovers journals from Vivian's old book club dedicated to scandalous novels of decades past, she realizes that this might be the distraction they all need. Reviving the "trashy" book club, the Hollander women find that the stories hold the key to their fight not only for the vineyeard, but for the life and love they've wanted all along.
Blush is a bighearted story of love, family, and second chances, and an ode to the blockbuster novels that have shaped generations of women. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
“In Blush, her latest summer page-turner, author Jamie Brenner indulges readers with the story of three generations of headstrong women united in their efforts to buck male authority and save their family’s struggling winery on the North Fork of Long Island. Brenner’s fizzy tale of wine-making lore, family secrets, forbidden love—and a shared appreciation for Jackie Collins and Judith Krantz novels, make for an intoxicating read.”
–Mary Kay Andrews, author of The Newcomer
“This book about three generations of women discovering their power at a North Fork vineyard is delicious, delightful, and smart. Reading it feels like drinking a crisp glass of rosé on a hot summer’s day.”
–Jill Santopolo, author of Everything After
“Brenner’s splendid novel depicts three very different women who find inspiration and guidance in the beloved, trashy novels of the eighties. I have no doubt that Judith Krantz and Jackie Collins are cheering from above at this feminist beach book that’s sharp and funny, bursting with heartbreak and longing. Blush delights the senses and will thrill you to your core.”
–Fiona Davis, author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue

Thanks for the chance. BTW, I think I made an error in my email address. If I win, I think you have it already. Would love to read this book.
Reading "The Last Time They Met" and "The Pilot's Wife," both by Anita Shreve kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat as I read them the entire time!
Thanks for the chance!
Looking forward to reading Blush! Sounds like a great storyline and I do so adore a steamy read myself ��
The Hunting Wives! It was so entertaining and wicked!
The last scandalous book I read was Thr Rhorn Birds.
I really can't think of one.
Moving Day by Jonathan Stone. Exceptional.
I really can't think of a scandalous novel that I have read!

Elin Hilderbrand might be the most "scandalous" novel writer I have read because her characters always seem to be in jams--often of their own making, lol! ;-) Definitely fun for beach reading, and I'm excited about Blush too! Can't wait to start this one.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this beautifully titled book with a gorgeous cover.
can't think of any
Nothing comes to mind
Chocolates for Breakfast when I was much younger (in my teens).
The Thorn Birds is the most scandalous book I’ve read
Nothing too scandalous! Danielle Steel
I'd say My Dark Vanessa!
I'd say My Dark Vanessa!
My mother in law gave me The Carpetbaggers by Harold Robbins because it was so scandalous when she read it.
Gone With the Wind. Thanks for your great generosity. Linda May
I've read so many books which were considered scandalous at the time, but others have come out and become more scandalous over the years.

I don't know about scandalous, but I have read some 'bodice rippers' that would raise a few eyebrows.
Scandalous? I try to stay away but some of Jackie Collins were pretty heated.
I can't think of the last Scandalous novel I read.
Thanks for the giveaway chance. Stay safe and healthy. 💕📚😷📚💕
I haven't read a scandalous novel in a long time
The Beauty Series by Anne Rice more than scandalous.
I would say 50 Shades of Gray. Pretty scandalous in my opinion! Thanks for the chance!
I guess Lady Chatterly's Lover though honestly it didn't feel all that scandalous to me.
Hmm... probably 50 Shades of Gray!
I haven't read anything scandalous for so long....probably Valley of The Dolls when I was in high school (which was scandalous then but pretty tame now).
Separate Beds by LaVyrle Spencer was a book I read in my teens. My mom blacked out the pages I wasn't supposed to read, but I did anyway, haha! :)
