You wait forever for a real man... Then two turn up at once. Fen McCabe has only ever been in love once. So what if he's a long dead nineteenth century artist? She's an art historian. She calls it job satisfaction; her friends and family call it insanity. But then her path crosses not just with handsome publisher Matt Holden, but also with brooding landscape gardener James Caulfield – twenty years her senior. Though she fights it, Fen finds herself falling for both of them in a haze of sex, art and severe indecision... Does she really have to choose?

Thoughts

Fen’s mad on an artist of old and she gets a job at a museum archiving their information on him. Through her obsession of him, she becomes involved with Matt and James and begins to fall for both of them. In the end though, she needs to choose where her priorities lie, and someone is bound to get hurt.

Fen is very interesting, her obsessive looking at each of her hands in turn, looking for an answer is something I can relate to, although I don’t actually do that. I may start though! Matt and James are both really sweet and you feel bad for them when she’s not being nice.

It’s a bit weird when the book starts to talk to the characters, so I wasn’t sure but overall I liked it.

Rating: 3 / 5
