…in the present day, aspiring curator Angela Renatus finds herself dreaming about da Vinci every night. This isn’t an art lover dreaming about the master, instead she has a recurring dream where she takes on the role of Fioretta Gorini, a good friend of Leonardo da Vinci and the girlfriend of Giuliano Medici. In her dreams, she discovers a painting that doesn’t’ exist, according to all her art history training. She’s also connected somehow to Fioretta, and feels great love and affection for Guiliano, at least when she’s dreaming. In the daytime, her unpleasant boss, Alberto Scordato, was assigned to find a legendary, lost da Vinci painting, but by the start of the novel, he’s given up. Art detective Alex Caine has taken up the assignment, and asks for Angela’s help.

Because Angela and Alex have been connected in other lives, their romance is dramatic and intense. There’s also a lot more nakedness than I was expecting in a book described as a romantic thriller. I can enjoy a steamy romance sometimes, but I’m not sure if “erotic art heist” is really the genre for me.
Yeah, I either feel bored or uncomfortable when I read erotic scenes. I just want the characters to kiss and be in love, authors don’t have to describe what went where!
