Holy heaven! It seems I can’t have enough of Tobias. After reading The Chase, he has become my new obsession.
Vanessa Fewings, as the talented author she is, carries on with her elegant
writing. This time she exceeded my expectations of what I found in the second instalment
of the Icon Trilogy. She left me really anxious and pretty curious
of the secret behind Icon. Questions like who was him and what does he want? Are
answered in The Game.
Some could say that this book can be read without reading the first
but trust me you do not want to miss any clue. I highly recommend you to read
first The Chase before reading The Game.
I devoured this book in a day. I couldn’t put it down. I am
officially addictive to Vanessa’s writing. The plot is captivating. The way she
mixed a hot romance and suspense left you wanting more.

Tobias meant trouble. Seeing him again will be bittersweet. His first reaction
will hurt her. Nevertheless she will fight for him. Saving him will be her
priority.
“This magnetic pull toward him was impossible to resist. It wasn’t just me saving him but him saving me too. I saw this now because all this pain and deceit I’d endured in my past slipped away when I was in his arms.”
Will she risk her career? Being a part of the team who is helping
the Interpol will make it really complicated because she can lose her
credibility as an art consultant. Her dreams will be in danger but Tobias worth
it. Zara will not give up on him.

priorities. Zara has change his world for good. His past is not letting him

The priorities of both characters will change. Zara and Tobias will
have to decide what is best for the other. Being together does not seem easy. And
to top it all, everything will turn against them. Zara will manage to save the
man she loves and she will bring up her dominant side. However Icon's shadow
will make things complicated for both of them.
“I am his willing prisoner, weak and needful for his cock that is pressing my abdomen with a promise of being inside me.”
Be prepared for a mind-blowing story with wonderful characters. This
book is beautifully addictive. Let Vanessa take you to the art world and pack
your bags because we are traveling from London to Los Angeles. If I could give
more than five stars, I give this book million stars. This is a must read you

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 too 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 instincts 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 mystery 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 become my favourite 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.
