A sexy entrepreneur and a sassy interior designer clash over a beautiful Parisian chateau—until a lost memory threatens to destroy them all.

In the outskirts of Paris, interior designer Chantal Chevalier is captivated by an extraordinary treasure—Chateau Vauquelin. But her dream of restoring the once magnificent building faces a formidable obstacle: the chateau's enigmatic new owner, Alessandro Kirkwood. He plans to transform the historic building into a bland hotel for the rich and famous.

But winning over Alessandro proves to be no easy task. He views Chantal as nothing more than a privileged heiress who will flee at the first sign of hard work. However, despite his vow to steer clear of romantic entanglements, he can’t resist her ideas, and the vulnerability he glimpses in her sparks an undeniable attraction.

Yet, as their connection deepens, mysterious incidents at the chateau plague their path, threatening to unearth buried secrets. Now Chantal remembers more than she’ll admit about that tragic day her parents died.

And the memory makes her blood run cold.

I loves this fourth book in the series. Once again, I found myself needing translations of the French words used, but that certainly didn't distract me from the story. Alex is cajoled into hiring Chantel as the designer for the renovation of an old chateau. The renovated historical building will become part of Kirkwood properties which he will be head of. Channel has been living with a secret her entire life, one that she wants no one to know. But the best intentions don't always become reality. And no matter how hard they try to avoid their attraction for the other they have fallen in love. This one has its own chilling thriller aspect that is solved at the very end. Another excellent read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chantal's Story!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022
We get Chantal's story!! It's such a fantastic story filled with such heart, from her tragic upbringing to her success as an interior decorator. This mystery/story was more tragic compared to the others and had more self development/ soul searching, so it was a nice change in relation to the other books in the series. Another change is the hero in this one is American, rather than French. I definitely prefer her French heroes, but that's probably because I'm American and like 90% of the books I read have American heroes in them.
Anyway, it's a pretty easy read with good transitioning and an easy flow to the story. I enjoyed the change in POV to the antagonist it added some suspense to the story.

This is the fourth in the series and can be read as a standalone, but I'd recommend reading the others because they are very enjoyable!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Chantel & Alessandro
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2022
Book 4 in the Tangled Hearts series, and can be read as a standalone. A steamy romantic suspense filled with drama, danger, love, mystery, intrigue, twists and turns, and secrets. Interesting, strong and likable characters, as you get to know Chantal and Alessandro. An intriguing storyline that plays out really well and hooks you in from the start. Well written, and I really enjoyed this.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
