I first heard of this series at a book signing, where Ms Fewing was attending (very lovely person to meet I may add) and as I love Art, and suspense books this series was the one I wished to read. I was lucky that a few months later there was a promotion for the next book in the series - The Prize. So I am reviewing this book in advance for that release.
I enjoyed this book, the intrigue, suspense and also the romance. Our main character Zara first love is Art, the history, the uniqueness of each artist, and the way each painting is seen by the individual. I really got how she viewed art so it was easy to get into the book and follow Zara as she entered the exclusive job at one of London’s top art investigation firms,
Zara's talent for seeing deep into paintings means that she ends up on the team that is helping the police hunt for 'Icon', the mysterious international art thief, he seems to be methodical, daring and selective in his heists, which in turn is baffling the authorities, but as.Zara delves deeper into the case, her personal life becomes more complicated also with the tragedy of her past coming to haunt her as she begins to make a future for herself doing something she loves.
When she meets Tobias Wilder, a billionaire who needs her expertise and her discretion. Wilder is an Alpha Male, used to having everything his way, but the sparks fly between them, as their relationship develops Zara can't help surrendering to the way he makes her feel, but will the secrets that Tobias is hiding kill the budding relationship? and the other question is...
Who is Icon?
Well I know now, you will just have to read the book to find you yourself.

This was a bit of a mystery wrapped in a steamy romance ending on a cliffhanger
I know everything you could want in a read!
Zara lives for art - she breathes it, dreams it - it is all she loves
Until Tobias --
I enjoyed the intrigue and a some of Zara's inner monologue was beyond entertaining - I think the author left a lot of room with her character for her to grow emotionally - IMO she seems to be a bit immature? at times
I did have a bit of a problem with Tobias - I enjoy the domineering hero but I also like a touch of softness somewhere also it would be nice if he stepped down from his soapbox occasionally
Overall - I would recommend
Fewings have set the foundation for this series as well as tossed out a path of breadcrumbs filled with future plot possibilities and twists - I am really excited to get to book two
This does end on a cliffhanger and it is the first in a series
