For the Marcelli sisters of California wine country, the season is ripe for romance! Of all the Marcelli sisters, the one who dreams of running the family's winery is Brenna -- and she's about to get her chance. But taking the helm at Marcelli Winery is tougher than she bargained for -- especially when she butts heads with her grandfather, whose Old World ways dictate that a male should inherit the business. In need of some fast capital in order to prove her grandfather wrong, Brenna turns to Nic Giovanni, her family's nemesis...Years ago, she ended her secret relationship with Nic, choosing loyalty to her family over the hot passion they shared. But now he's back in her life, he's loaned her a million dollars, and their feelings for each other are stronger than ever. Brenna must find out for herself: is Nic the love of her life? Or the schemer who could topple the Marcelli dynasty -- and break her heart? Meet three unforgettable sisters in a wonderful trilogy that's vintage Susan Mallery -- warm, witty, and stunningly sensual. Look for The Sparkling One and The Sassy One, available from Pocket Star Books!

Very interesting to me about the region of America in which it takes place. Stories in all 3 books are quite good and the insight into characters is interesting.

fine third Marcelli contemporary romance
7 Nov 2003
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Brenna Marcelli knows the depths of her desperation when she visits Nicholas Giovanni, CEO of family rival Wild Sea Vineyards to borrow one million dollars to start her own wine label. Her beloved family patriarch and that of Nicholas have fought for decades. Still Brenna feels a need to go around her grandfather as she believes he will hand over the family winemaking company to a newly discovered stepbrother. The vines are in Brenna's heart, but so is Nic, who broke hers when she was a teen.
Nic lends the money to Brenna, but sees this as a different type of investment as he now feels he has the mechanism to avenge what he has heard the Marcelli's did to the Giovanni clan years ago. However, Nic feels Brenna's enthusiasm and acumen as if he was working every vine. Soon he falls in love with her, but may have destroyed his chance for happiness when his scheme begins to show fruit. Brenna knows that déjà vu means breaking your heart twice over the same rascal.
The third Marcelli contemporary romance is a fine one as readers follow the exploits of the only sister whose heart is entangled by the vines. The story line is fun to follow as Brenna battles with her grandfather and Nic. Both these stubborn men soon realize how strong a person she is. Readers will appreciate the latest entanglement of the heart as the Marcelli siblings remain strong characters that are fun to observe and the audience will want to toast at their upcoming nuptials.

The third outing for the Marcelli's is a charmer!
23 May 2007
By Tracy Vest
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Brenna Marcelli has always dreamed of running the Marcelli family vineyard; her family jokes that wine flows through her veins. But family patriarch Grandpa Lorenzo insists that running the winery is a man's job. That's kind of hard to do when the Marcelli's only have four daughters. But a secret from the family's past comes to light that could dash Brenna's dreams. Newly divorced, Brenna returns to the family's Santa Barbara winery/estate and decides to start up a boutique winery, turning to former lover Nic Giovanni for the capital. Making matters difficult is that the Giovanni's and the Marcelli's have had a long-standing feud, not to mention the secret relationship Brenna and Nic had a decade earlier that ended when she chose her family over him. Nic is willing to loan her the money; but at what cost? Sparks fly when the two realize that there are unresolved feelings between the two. Will Nic avenge his family or fight for the woman he has always loved?
Mallery's third in the Marcelli series features a striking couple who are equals. Brenna is no shrinking violet and Nic is her equal in temperament and ambition. The books are best if read in order since key plot points are revealed over the five books. The series (in order) includes: The Sparkling One (****), The Sassy One (***), The Seductive One (****), The Marcelli Bride (****), and the abysmal The Marcelli Princess (**).

Excellent Trilogy

The Sassy One, The Sparking One, and The Seductive One are a truly excellent trilogy. If you enjoy Lori Foster, Allison Kent, Linda Francis Lee, Deidre Martin, Rachel Gibson, and Susan Andersen you will love Susan Mallery! She tells an exceptional story with rich characters and a hot love story. I read these over one weekend. I could not put them down. Run do not walk to buy your copies! Enjoy.
