This is the third book in the Matthews Family series and is
the story of Tracy and Vincent. Again as with all the books in this series, it
takes you to beautiful parts of the World that along with the story telling and
a forever romance, the reader is given an evocative journey to be taken on.
Tracy is on a holiday in Greece with her sister JC. They
find themselves crashing a masquerade wedding in order to see the church they
had been savouring to see. It is at the after party that Tracy meets and falls
for gorgeous Italian, Giovanni, who is a guest at his friend’s wedding.
Giovanni takes Tracy to a secluded and secret spot to show
her the beautiful sundown for her to take a chance in a lifetime picture. It is
whilst they are together in this private part of the beach that they get to
know each other and their feelings for each other erupt. When the night ends
they make promises to each other that no distance will keep them apart. When JC
is urging Tracy to get in the taxi so they can leave, Tracy hurriedly puts her
number into Giovanni’s phone and leaves after he tells her he will call her. Next
morning no call comes, and even after the journey back home to the US no call
ever comes. Tracy is devastated to think she will never see the love of her
life again and did she imagine all that they had together on that beautiful
night in Greece.
Over the following months Tracy does all she can to try and
forget and get over the disappointment but she is finding it hard going. When
her Mom’s friend, Lisa asks her over to Italy to visit she tries all she can to
get out of it, she never wants to be near to an Italian man again as it would
bring back all the angst she has gone through, but Lisa has a way of persuading
her. The wine making neighbours of Lisa have an opening for a job opportunity
which is right up Tracy’s street and would give her an ideal chance to break
her mark into her career.
It’s when Tracy gets to the Giovanni Winery that she meets
the brooding and sexy Vincent, who immediately gets her hackles raised with his
abrupt and rude treatment of her. The story then evolves into them both getting
to know each other better and an even more eye popping curve ball that is
thrown in when things from the past get brought right into the present and
future.
I really liked this storyline although I was a little perplexed
at why neither Tracy nor Giovanni took their masks off when JC did at the wedding.
It wasn’t until later in the book that it made sense for them not to and made a
great ‘OMG’ moment.
Vincent is an absolutely gorgeous sexy Italian, I could feel
the vibes strumming through my kindle each time he spoke or caressed. And oh
did he caress! What sexy times were had, yowzer! I love the brooding and
sensual prowess he evoked from one scintillating page after another.
I have always loved Tracy in each of the books so it was no
different in her own. This girl has gone through so much I was cheering for her
to finally get her own HEA, and what a gorgeous man to have one with!
The atmospheric writing just made you feel you were in the hot
and romantic countries of Greece and Italy that the storyline took us to. It
made the romance of the book so much more. It was also so enlightening about
the subject of wine (which is one of my favourites ha-ha) that I will never look
at a glass of wine in the same way again. Or ice cream!
So if you are looking for a gorgeous romance, set in two of
the most beautiful countries in the World, then this is certainly a book you
need to read. Fabulous.
