About this item

The ink on Madeleine's divorce papers is barely dry when grieving her mother leads her to uncover a secret that turns her entire world inside out.

Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Madeleine sets out to track down her true family. But when she finally finds them in an affluent Northern California beach town, she is shocked to discover they are the owners of a very successful vineyard.

Thrown by this discovery, Madeleine cannot bring herself to reveal her identity yet, and decides to stay in town for a while, to work up the courage to present herself. It’s a beautiful place and she finds herself happily settling into life there, accepting a job at the local Bridal Store as a dressmaker. Its just what she needs to help her clear her head and figure out what to do next.

But when she is tasked with designing and creating the wedding dress for Natalie, her real sister’s daughter and therefore her niece, Madeleine feels like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

As she is invited to spend time with the family, she gets closer and closer to Natalie, who confides in her that she doesn’t really want to marry her husband... Madeleine unwillingly becomes the confidante to everyone in the family. And as time passes it becomes increasingly difficult for her to reveal her true identity.

Afraid of severing the connections she is forging with her family, Madeline continues her cover. But when another, even darker family secret comes crashing down on them all, Madeleine must decide just what her role is in this complicated family legacy.

And then there’s Jack — the handsome and mysterious man whose deep connection to the Fitzgeralds only makes her growing feelings for him even more complicated.

How long can she keep pretending? With Christmas approaching and the wedding drawing near, Madeleine must choose between protecting her heart or risking everything for the truth—and the family she’s always dreamed of having.

Get caught up in a dramatic family saga this summer and join Madeleine as she navigates her personal challenges to the backdrop of sun, sea, and crisp California wine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great goings on in the family

    Maddy has sort of ingrained herself into the family and is trying to find out what really happened and why she was given away instead of being raised by this family. She knows who is who but still does not know why and that is beginning to upset her. She is busy planning the wedding and trying to deal with all the feelings that are going on. She has had several talks with the bride and is beginning to see that she does not want to get married.
    Although the bride thinks she has to go through with it for the family, Maddy convinces her that it is her life and she doesn't have to do anything she does not want to.
    This book ends with a great announcement that is shocking the family....it looks like it is going to be great.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Fun Read with Secrets
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024
    I really enjoyed this quick fun read with so many secrets. The writing is captivating. The characters were believable and I cared about them. The plot thickens with more secrets and discoveries besides drama. This quick read will hold your attention until the end of it and then you will want more of it to read. I can't wait for the next story of this series.

I really like the blossoming relationship between the seniors ????. The personalities are more complex fitting the characters. I have more questions waiting to be answered!

    This Booksprout ARC is an excellent part of this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What an ending!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2024
    The Family Vineyard (Book 3) is book #3 in the Cali Reunion series by Sage Parker.

    Maddy is being pulled into the drama with Natalie and Joan in the hopes of learning more about her birth family. Her feelings about Jack seem to be growing. I love the quick reads so I can read the book in one sitting, but the endings always leave me anxious for the next book!
