I escaped from the man who made me—and ended up with the one who could unmake me in every way that matters.
He’s the last man I should want—cold, ruthless, and skilled at staring straight through me.
But every time Matías Goldberg says my name, my pulse forgets to whom it belongs.
Then one reckless night, one kiss I should’ve walked away from becomes the mistake I can’t stop replaying.
I’m stuck in his worn family estate. We pretend to be business partners, but unspoken tension fills every room.
He cooks for me at midnight like he isn’t furious. He teaches me how to ride a horse like my touch doesn’t unravel him. He looks at me like he’s starving—and I’m the only thing he wants.
Somewhere between the windmills and the calm, he shows me the man beneath his armor. I fall. Hard. Fast. Completely.
But then the truth hits—my father is trying to destroy his entire legacy.
If Matías learns how deep the betrayal is, I lose the man I’ve always loved. This time, I could be the one to hurt him.
---My review notes Titled: Cat & Mouse Romance
Matías is there to TRY to meet with a big wig Robert Vanderlyn and that doesn't work out for him. But he does spot his daughter Cassandra. His friend Ethan who is there at this big event warns his against approaching the beautiful woman known as the Ice Queen. But does he listen? That would be a Big Fat, No ! And when he manages to talk to her, she's icy but also a bit intrigued. Now, the chase is on ! He's not used to losing and she's not used to letting others win either. Matias is a successful, rich man from Argentina but educated in some ivy league colleges that poor parents helped him get into. I liked him a lot ! I was also beginning to warm to Cassandra as the story went on. There does seem to be a human woman under all that ice ! Although, they do have challenges because of their businesses and She wants to be seen as a valuable woman. Someone not always taking second place in men's push for more. Her father is a prime example of using any and every person to get ahead; even his daughter. I warmed up to her pretty quickly as i began to see who she really was and what she needed !
I liked the dance of cool and hot between them although for me it felt like it went a bit longer than I would have liked ! But I took heart because then it really took off in the story. Cassandra is going to have to stand up to her father and Matias is going to have to put his priorities in the right order. Even his father on their home farm tells him that when he visits.
On a last note I really enjoyed when Cassandra and Matias go down to Matias home, Argentinian farm. He visits his family and Cassandra seems to fit right in.
I loved how the story ended and was grateful that I got an ARC from the author.
