Zara find Tobias more of a challenge that she should. He was the one man she should stay away from but there was just something about him. She couldn’t put her finger on it. This was a romantic suspense that took it time to build and give me what I was looking for. After the chase for more, I got a step or two closer to find satisfaction and then finding that it was not over by a long shot.

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

5 INTRIGUING stars! This book is a beautiful masterpiece wrapped in and elegant cover.
Once in a time you find a new trilogy that catches your attention. Once in a time you find that special book that mixes what you love the most and once in a time you find a kind author who is highly talented. I am so glad I found all of that in the first instalment of The Icon Series.
The Chase is the kind of book that mixes art, culture, suspense and steamy scenes in a wonderful and clean writing. I couldn’t put it down. It was highly addictive. This is not like other books I have read. Here, the author not only shows us her knowledge about paintings and art. Clearly she did a good research before writing this book (something that not many authors do). I wonder what inspired her to write it the way she did.
The heroine, Zara, is an intelligent woman, passionate for painting and so happy with her new job as an art consultant. The love for art is in her veins. During her childhood she was always surrounded by paintings. Her love for art was developed at an early age thanks to her father. Her ability to recognize original paintings and her father’s inheritance opened the door for her to get the job of her dreams. However, Zara’s world will change drastically thanks to the first client who expressly requested her services.
“I’d known in the depths of my soul art would always be my one true love.”
Meeting Tobias will be like a storm of fresh air. He is an intelligent, powerful, enigmatic and cocky alpha man. He is the kind of man who always obtain what he wants. Something about him makes you want to discover his secrets. Zara is quite intrigued by him. She knows he is dangerous, a seducer ready to eat her completely. Her insticsts tell her to run away but something drawn her to him.
“I hardly knew anything about Tobias and yet he was seducing me with the ease of a man who always got what he wanted.”
“Despite the fact that he was a virtual stranger, I somehow trusted him. This alluring enigma that was Tobias William Wilder was seductively hypnotic.”
Being around him will open her eyes to a dark side of the art world where some people have valuable paintings which does not belong to them. A side that she was already aware of.
“Art should be shared. It’s a travesty to hide them away.”
The attraction, the chemistry plus the push and pull game will seduce Zara. The enigma that Tobias represents is something that will awake a wild part of her.
“Sometimes love, like art, cannot be defined,” I said. “It can’t be contained. Controlled. Owned. It needs its freedom to become fully realized.”
Behind them is the mistery of an art thief. Icon. This is not only a story of a couple falling in love, it is more. Be prepare for an intriguing and stunning book.
As you dive in each page, you fall deep into the story around the characters. It is elegantly written. The plot is original. There is no cliché inside of this masterpiece. Books like this shall be written more often. I was so intrigued from the first pages.
I urge you to pick this book. You won’t be disappointed. Vanessa is a gifted writer so talented who will take you to a journey through the art world.
I want to discover Tobias’ secret. He has became my favorite book boyfriend so far. He has stolen my heart.
“My need for you is my greatest weakness. You’ve utterly destroyed me.”
A deliciously addictive trilogy is waiting for you.

Tobias Wilder and Zara Leighton
A delightful game of cat and mouse!
Is Tobias only using Zara to get close to the investigation into ICON?
And….what is he hiding?
Are his actions compromising something for Zara that she’s worked her entire life to become a part of?
Clearly the author is an art lover. The level of research necessary for these characters to become authentic is extraordinary. I love that I’m learning, because yes, I’m that kind of geek…I have to know about the paintings!
Come on, join The Chase, the intrigue is captivating, the romance will sweep you away and you’ll be as determined as I am to step up The Game and unravel the Wilder mystery.

Absolutely addicting! The Chase is a MUST READ! I couldn’t put this down. I loved the mystery, romance, and history. As soon as I finished this book, I immediately opened up book 2.
Zara Leighton is a strong and intelligent woman skilled in authenticating paintings. She lives and breathes art. When a series of stolen paintings come to light, she is put on a team to catch the mysterious thief.
Tobias Wilder is an American billionaire that Zara can’t stop thinking about. He is a brilliant inventor and businessman. He also shares Zara’s love of art.
The attraction between the two is hot and steamy, so be sure to have a fan nearby. Tobias is a demanding alpha that knows how to get rough.
The plot kept me at the edge of my seat, and the characters were easy to fall in love with. Vanessa Fewings has created a perfect romance with a touch of beauty and elegance.
