Loved it!

Great story

Relax and read

Albeit I read this series backward - I'm going to read the first book after this. I knew the end of this one by half the book but nevertheless the story was pretty nice. Is almost the same story that the third book - that I already read but so far is a good reading.

2nd book of the Series

Ok I read all the books out of order which gave away some of the secrets -- but was still a lot of fun. This is series is about the Marcelli family ( a Italain/Irish wine making family) and the love matches of the siblings. This book is Franseca's story (middle twin daughter) who has been a widow for years and now plans to have sex with the first goodlooking man she finds.... Check out the whole series; The Sparkling One (1),The Sassy One (2),The Seductive One (3), The Marcelli Bride (4),The Marcelli Princess (5 coming out 2007).

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.

Sstory line is fun

In Santa Barbara, research student widow Francesca Marcelli fakes being pregnant as part of an experiment to see if people would help her deliver packages. Males ignore her and females nod in empathy, but no one stops to assist her. When she reaches the empty offices of Malcolm and White Data Tech, she meets the CEO of Security International, Sam Reese. He takes her into his office, feeds her, and offers to hold the packages for now. She admits that she is a social psychology grad student wearing a fake device to emulate pregnancy.Sam takes Francesca to dinner as they are attracted to one another. However, neither wants a long-term relationship though both their families encourage the widowed Francesca and the divorced Sam to marry. Even love may prove too weak to keep this couple together.Though his ex returning seems only to raise unnecessary tension, fans will enjoy the second Marcelli sister tale. The story line is fun as the estrogen as in the first tale (see THE SPARKLING ONE) is at a fever pitch as it was with the first novel. The lead couple is a fine pair, who claims there not in love, but we, the families and Susan Mallory know better.Harriet Klausner
