De wijnmaker bij De Grendel, Charles Hopkins, is een van de meest gewaardeerde wijnmakers van Zuid-Afrika en weet als geen ander wat Merlot nodig heeft. Op de hellingen van de Tygerberg genieten de Merlot wijnstokken van het perfect klimaat met een koude zeebries vanuit de Atlantische Oceaan. Met de juiste bodemstructuur ontwikkelt de Merlot een bijzonder karakter die na langdurige houtrijping perfect tot uiting komt in het wijnglas.Het familiebedrijf de Grendel
De Grendel is gevestigd op de historische gelijknamige Kaapse boerderij die dateert uit 1720 en al vijf generaties de thuisbasis is van de familie Graaff. Een werkende boerderij, de traditie van runderen, schapen en paarden, gaat meer dan een eeuw terug. Derde baronet Sir David Graaff richtte de wijngaarden en de moderne wijnkelder op, een erfenis die nu wordt voortgezet door zijn zoon, Sir De Villiers. Keldermeester Charles Hopkins combineert de modernste wijnbereidingstechnieken met een knipoog naar het erfgoed van de boerderij, milieuvriendelijke ethos en toewijding aan kwaliteit. De Merlot druiven staan aangeplant op Hutton Oak Leaf op 200 meter boven de zeespiegel op de hellingen van de Tygerberg. Vanuit hier heb je uitzicht op de Atlantische Oceaan die op zijn beurt weer zorgt voor de nodige verkoeling in de wijngaarden. De leeftijd van de wijnstokken ligt rond de 13 tot 16 jaar. De druiven worden volledig met de hand geoogst, ontsteeld en vervolgens geplet. Het sap fermenteert in roestvrijstalen tanks. De 'aerated pumpover'-methode wordt gebruikt om het gistende sap vier keer per dag gedurende een uur per keer voorzichtig over de schil te pompen, waardoor zachte tannines worden verkregen. Hierna rijpt de wijn 13 maanden op Franse eikenhouten vaten.De zijdezachte karakter van De Grendel Merlot
De Grendel Merlot heeft een prachtige robijnrode kleur met in de geur verfijnde indrukken van bosbessen, een hint van anijs, vanille en een subtiele toon van zoethout. In de smaak is deze rode wijn zijdezacht en toch voldoende kracht. Met mooie smaken van rijp rood fruit, vanille, lichte specerijen en een beetje cederhout. In de afdronk fijne tannines en een lichte mokkahint. Heerlijke te combineren bij een Zuid-Afrikaanse Braai.Shipping Notes

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

ABSOLUTELY A MUST for Omegaverse Girls!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Jillian West and her books!!! I’m so happy I already bought book two and now I have to buy the others for the Assurance Security series!!
Not gonna lie Val kind of annoyed me at the beginning but she grew on me!! Her men are chef’s kisses!!! Holt annoys me some but I can let it slide. I already bought part two so I’m going to be reading that in between work phone calls!!!! DON’T TELL MY BOSS 😂😂😂😂

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat.
It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot.
Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable.
The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold.
The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.
