Review Quotes:
"A good read that takes you away to a tropical island to experience the steamy heat of two people determined to stay single in case they get hurt again. Max, a sexy, jaded Italian multi-billionaire meets up with Issy, a playful children's art therapist who has recently found out her fiancé was having an affair. Although I was initially skeptical as I usually go for historical romances, I'm glad I trusted my friend's recommendation because this book was delightfully compelling. The emotional vulnerabilities and character quirks combined with the sexual tension kept the pages turning. A frisky novel to curl up on the couch with or take away on your next trip."

"This was a fun read I really enjoyed. It's perfect for a lazy weekend. This is the first book I have read by this author but it won't be last. I can't wait to be more."

"Beautifully written. The author's vivid and descriptive writing style pulled me into a world I never wanted to leave. I loved the connection of art between two very different people and the healing it brought them both. A Very beautiful story!"
Hugh Harrison
"I joined Max to make the slow journey from betrayed broken-hearted individuals to the trusting and loving couple they become. Molly Mathew's writing transports you to places she is describing where you can kick back and relax for a while as this endearing story unfolds. Her characters soon become visible through her careful picture-building. Readers will like the Kiwi vernacular Issy invoices every now and then, and I think readers will enjoy getting to know the strong characters and the beautiful islands we're visiting. The author also tucks in some great life advice for everyone telling in the telling of this charming story. I hope you enjoy this book, too. I did."

"I loved, loved, loved this book. An instantly gripping, compelling and fun read. Escapism at its best. I couldn't put the book down and read it in one night. With exotic backdrops like Italy and Fiji and passionate characters, it made the perfect holiday read. Can kindness thaw a cold-heart? That's the question Mollie Mathews poses in her book about second chances and learning to love again.
Issy is a funny, compassionate art therapist who wants to escape Christmas after her jerk of a fiancé cheated on her. Even though she only works with troubled children she agrees to take on a last minute client for her friend and business partner. What she doesn't know is her client is hunky fashion house CEO Massimilliano Balforni. Sparks fly and it's an attraction Max vows to deny. He doesn't want Issy and her colored pencils from bringing the wounds of his childhood to the light.
Mollie Mathews skillfully creates a gripping dynamic between Issy and Max that sensually blends their animosity with undeniable attraction making the tension soar. I definitely recommend this book."

"What a fantastic romance. They seem to be opposites. But they really share a similar past. She's an art therapist and he's a designing mogul . But a week at a private resort in Fiji exposes their hearts and their live. I loved the story, characters and now I want to go to Fiji."
Linda
"Issy and Max could not be further from compatible - or could they? He's a multimillionaire fashion designer and she barely makes ends meet as an art therapist. When they are thrown together for a week all kinds of things happen! Will they ever find out if a tiny spark can happen amid all of the chaos? You will need to read this wonderful story by Mollie Mathews to find out!: )"
