Synopsis:

Can a Manhattan writer enjoy a string of handsome men in Italy without someone calling the United Nations to sort everything out? When Sienna travels to "the boot" she plans on tasting everything the country has to offer. Wine, pasta, men—Sienna wants it all!

She gets it, too—over and over again, with an assortment of handsome Italian men. There's Paolo, who introduces her to the pleasures of moving seduction. Carlo, with his salame enorme, shows Sienna just how close friends can get. Enzo, a passionate swimmer, brings the joys of lakeside lust to light. And Guiseppe, whose ancestors' orgies influence his modern lovemaking techniques.

So many men, each with his own special talents. How can Sienna sample so many tasty Italian dishes, yet choose only one? It's hard, but that's what she's forced to do in Bella Notte!
 

SRR GRADE:  B+
 

OK girls it is time to pack our bags and head off to Italy – at least the Italy that Rusty Wicks writes about in Bella Note.  The tale of a woman who catches her boyfriend in the arms of her best err boy friend, leaves everything familiar behind and goes searching for some inner peace.  Yeah right…inner peace?  And that’s the story of Bella Notte…well sort of.  Ms. Wicks paints the Italian countryside in splendid colors and textures until you would swear you can smell the grapes.  Her main characters are compelling and whether you want to or not you’re drawn into the world of the Bella Notte vineyards.

Sienna is hurt and disillusioned when she takes the job to write a book about an Italian winery, but the last thing she expects are the attentions of 4 extremely hot men.  Beginning with the bus ride and her sexy encounter with Paolo, Carlo the vineyard foreman, Enzo and Guiseppe she experiences more sexual satisfaction in 6 months than her entire life.  The problem is that she has fallen hard for Paolo and he doesn’t seem to know she exists since they arrived at the vineyard and she realizes that he is her new boss. 

Bella Notte is a very enjoyable read.  The men are more than sexy enough to make you drool and you will be envious of Sienna’s trip to the Italian countryside.  The men are a little over the top – but it works for the story and Sienna is fun though a bit unbelievable when she can mess around with three other hotties while falling for Paolo.  A very spicy read, pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine and take a trip to Bella Notte you won’t be disappointed.
