Marsala & Magnolias SJ McCoy -The Hamilton Family #3

Description:
Antonio Di Giovanni is a passionate man. He’s passionate about running the family wine business and does it very successfully. He’s passionate about living well and having fun—he’s successful at that, too. He’s known as one of the hottest guys in Napa and for being seen with a different woman every night of the week. He’s used to getting what he wants in life and he only wants the best.

Mary Ellen Greene has worked hard in life. She’s overcome heartbreak and earned her way to a position as second-in-command at Hamilton-Groves. She’s created her own success in the world of wines, but she’s still a practical-minded, down-to-earth Midwestern girl at heart. She might have had a secret crush on Antonio for years, but it’s only a fantasy. He might look good, but he’s not her kind of guy.

As far as Mary Ellen’s concerned, Antonio is a good-looking, superficial playboy. He’s nice to daydream about but not someone she’d want to spend any time with – or is he?

Although these two have moved in the same social circles for years, they’ve never had a real conversation. She thinks he’s too much of a playboy; he thinks she’s too down-to-earth.

One phone call is about to change both their minds.

My thoughts on the book:

Mary Ellen is shocked when she see's her ex-fiancé's name as one of the candidates up for a job opening and it seems everything is working against her. When Antonio seems to steps up and notices her she finds it a little fishy. After being hurt in a past relationship she’s now having a hard time believing the lines he’s feeding her is he for real or is this all just a big game to him?

I have fallen in love this Summer Lake and the characters from and surrounding the town. I loved this series so far and can't wait for more. The author did not disappoint with this book either. When the book is done I seemed to take a sigh not because its over but because I want more and I knew I have to wait. These characters feel more like you are coming home and catching up with friends. If you have never read any of this authors books grab one and get ready to want more by catching up with all the fun characters. This book does have adult scenes and some strong language so it may not be suitable for all readers. I love that this author ends her books with a semicolon to help support the semicolon project. The character's story is not over there is more to come just like your story there is still more to come. To learn more about the Semicolon Project check out projectsemicolon.com
