Middle sister Adelina has remained aloof and amused by the string of suitors for her elder sister's hand-and dowry. But when the swaggering Rafael arrives with an equally eye-catching, bold sister of his own, Adelina's pulse stirs at last.
Aware from the first that she has caught the lovely Adelina's interest, Silvana yearns to court her openly, but she and her brother are not what they seem. Moonlit nights in the summer gardens may lead to kisses and whispers of love, but she knows that the lady's heart will be lost forever if the truth is discovered.
From the author of The Diplomat comes a sumptuous story of reckless desire, desperate honor and fearless love.

The story was great. One I enjoyed greatly. The writing was good. It did make a promise, or two, I felt it didn't keep,. That's commons in a lot of books, however.The thing that kept this book from the fifth star, was the pacing.

Fruit of the Golden Vine Sophia French 9781594934599 Books Reviews
In this novel author French takes us to a world of barons, manors, and where women have few rights. As the book begins, Sebastian and Delfina have welcomed Rafael and his sister Silvana to their manor. Rafael is there to woo their eldest daughter, Irena,. Their middle daughter, Adelina has watched a string of suitors court Irena,. However, as pleased as Irena is by Rafael, Adelina is just as pleased by Rafael's sister. Silvana is aware of Adelina's interest, and quietly courts her, aware that love between women is not accepted here. What follows are some lively dinner table conversations between Delfina and Silvana on religion and the nature of God. As Adelina becomes more enamored with Silvana, her parents notice and disapprove. This is a novel of lust, love, honor, and desire. It is French's second novel, and it is even better than her first. All of the characcters are fully fleshed out, and the story is lively and enjoyable. .
Fruit of the Golden Vine by Sophia French is a wonderful novel that’s a little difficult to explain, but is so easy to love. Part historical fantasy, part romance, part feminist treatise, I was delighted and entertained from the first page to the last. It is so elegantly and simply written that it reads like a fairy tale. Make no mistake, however—this is not your typical romance, and I hesitate to even call it a romance. The I-love-yous come early and easily, with courtship and getting to know each other following for both couples. The romance between Adalina and Silvana develops in tandem with Raphael and Irena’s, highlighting how heterosexual love can flourish easily while queer love needs to stay in the shadows in some societies.
Fruit of the Golden Vine is fantastic and I highly recommend it.
I received a free copy from the publisher for an honest review at The Lesbian Review.
This second book from Ms French is a most enjoyable romance. It is a well written, rollicking tale of a two adventurers, a brother and a sister, who lose their hearts to two protected sisters in an age of sword play and chivalry. The prose is sharp and the love story between the two women touching and exciting. I can recommend this novel as a great read.
