This is the third book in the Matthews Family series and is the story of Tracy and Vincent. Again as with all the books in this series, it takes you to beautiful parts of the World that along with the story telling and a forever romance, the reader is given an evocative journey to be taken on.Tracy is on a holiday in Greece with her sister JC. They find themselves crashing a masquerade wedding in order to see the church they had been savouring to see. It is at the after party that Tracy meets and falls for gorgeous Italian, Giovanni, who is a guest at his friend’s wedding.Giovanni takes Tracy to a secluded and secret spot to show her the beautiful sundown for her to take a chance in a lifetime picture. It is whilst they are together in this private part of the beach that they get to know each other and their feelings for each other erupt. When the night ends they make promises to each other that no distance will keep them apart. When JC is urging Tracy to get in the taxi so they can leave, Tracy hurriedly puts her number into Giovanni’s phone and leaves after he tells her he will call her. Next morning no call comes, and even after the journey back home to the US no call ever comes. Tracy is devastated to think she will never see the love of her life again and did she imagine all that they had together on that beautiful night in Greece.Over the following months Tracy does all she can to try and forget and get over the disappointment but she is finding it hard going. When her Mom’s friend, Lisa asks her over to Italy to visit she tries all she can to get out of it, she never wants to be near to an Italian man again as it would bring back all the angst she has gone through, but Lisa has a way of persuading her. The wine making neighbours of Lisa have an opening for a job opportunity which is right up Tracy’s street and would give her an ideal chance to break her mark into her career.It’s when Tracy gets to the Giovanni Winery that she meets the brooding and sexy Vincent, who immediately gets her hackles raised with his abrupt and rude treatment of her. The story then evolves into them both getting to know each other better and an even more eye popping curve ball that is thrown in when things from the past get brought right into the present and future.I really liked this storyline although I was a little perplexed at why neither Tracy nor Giovanni took their masks off when JC did at the wedding. It wasn’t until later in the book that it made sense for them not to and made a great ‘OMG’ moment.Vincent is an absolutely gorgeous sexy Italian, I could feel the vibes strumming through my kindle each time he spoke or caressed. And oh did he caress! What sexy times were had, yowzer! I love the brooding and sensual prowess he evoked from one scintillating page after another.I have always loved Tracy in each of the books so it was no different in her own. This girl has gone through so much I was cheering for her to finally get her own HEA, and what a gorgeous man to have one with!The atmospheric writing just made you feel you were in the hot and romantic countries of Greece and Italy that the storyline took us to. It made the romance of the book so much more. It was also so enlightening about the subject of wine (which is one of my favourites ha-ha) that I will never look at a glass of wine in the same way again. Or ice cream!So if you are looking for a gorgeous romance, set in two of the most beautiful countries in the World, then this is certainly a book you need to read. Fabulous.
