Artist Alexandra Battista thinks a
six month apprenticeship in Venice is the perfect escape from her
overbearing family who all seem more upset over her recent break-up than
she is. Two months into it, she’s finding it’s everything she hoped for
and more. Until the night she hears her mentor being murdered.
Sent by her family to check on Alex’s well-being, Dan “Fawkes” Fowler is nearly certain she won’t welcome his interference—not after the steamy one night they spent together or the morning after when he woke to an empty bed. But when he finds her running down a darkened street, fleeing from a murderer, he knows there’s no other place he wants to be other than by her side to protect—and maybe even love—her.
5 STARS
I was surprised at how much I really liked this story. Also surprised myself by wanting to give a short story 5 stars but there it is.
It had so much more depth to it than some stories can accomplish. Both of the main characters drew me in pretty quickly. I quickly cared about them. Their vulnerabilities did show through. They also gave in to the sexual heat that they had going on between them.
It also had some depth when it came to the "who" they suspected the murderer is and the "how" to prove it.
It comes to a dramatic ending and with hope for the future of Alex and "Fawkes". I almost wish there was MORE to their story because darn it ended.
