Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When Erica Pencarreth's lover, art gallery owner Willard Townley, shows her his latest discovery, Erica is amazed to see what appears to be a slightly damaged painting by Impressionist Claude Monet. The painting is potentially worth millions, but before it's even restored, handsome New Zealand winery owner Alexander McNaughton puts in a winning bid. Soon after agreeing to authenticate the painting's provenance, Erica not only begins to doubt the painting's true worth but also finds herself falling in love with Alexander. An engaging heroine, side trips to various European locales, and a captivating art world setting are just a few of the ingredients British author Barclay mixes into her latest contemporary romance. Similar in tone to the early romances of Rosamunde Pilcher or those of Katie Fforde, this gentle story should win Barclay new fans in the U.S. John Charles
