Fresh Fiction Review

The Marcelli Princess
Susan Mallery

Reviewed by Stacey Herman
Posted February 12, 2007

Romance Contemporary

Mia Marcelli awakes one morning to find Diego, the once- thought dead, love-of-her-life, in her bed. Well, actually, he's not really Diego. Diego is really Prince Raphael of Calandria and he is very much alive. He is also very interested in Mia and her young son, who also happens to be his son, as well as heir to the Calandria throne.

Sound far-fetched? This story is a little far-fetched, but in a charming way. Out of the whole Marcelli clan, Mia's life is the most unbelievable with a stint as an undercover government agent and now a resurrected lover who just happens to be a prince and a womanizing playboy.

As Raphael seeks out Mia to take their son to Calandria, old emotions overtake the couple and complicate Raphael's scheme. Raphael's character is a bit flat, leaving the reader ambivalent about him. Of course, there are meddling grandmothers, an over protective brother and several sisters to complicate matters even more.

The Marcelli clan is in full-swing getting into each other's business, cooking up big Italian feasts and swilling their wine. THE MARCELLI PRINCESS, a delightful follow-up to THE MARCELLI BRIDE, is slightly spicy, just like the family's Italian food. Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy the company of the Marcelli family with all their passion and zest for life.

SUMMARY

A smart, independent woman with a gorgeous four-year-old son, Mia Marcelli lost her one true love. Four years ago, while working undercover for the CIA, she watched Diego, the father of her unborn child, perish before her very eyes -- crumbling the world around her. But one morning she awakens to find Diego lying next to her, alive and well with an unbelievable confession: he is really Rafael, Prince of Calandria, and he had been working covertly on the same mission when they met -- his death had been staged. Utterly stunned, Mia is wary and delighted -- she may have suffered a broken heart, but her breathtakingly handsome lover is back to reignite the passion that existed between them. Little does she know that Rafael has returned to give his newfound son a proper upbringing in Calandria -- even if it means seducing Mia into marriage. But when Rafael finds himself truly falling for this luscious beauty, he must decide between his royal duties and the woman who has claimed his heart.
