Four years ago, for a brief moment, Sammie Singleton became the
muse of an artist she didn't know. The moment vanished, and now Sammie spends
her nights with a different man.
Her life is black and white. But she needs food for her soul to
feel alive.
She needs color. She needs art.
Everything changes the moment she meets Thomas Quidell.
Brilliant and talented, Sammie quickly realizes Tom is her artist--and the man
she's been fantasizing about all these years.
Tom offers her more than a lifeline. He opens her eyes to a new
life. Vibrant, loving, fulfilling. But is she strong enough to take a chance?
REVIEW
This
was a fantastic short read that was chock-full of everything that makes a perfect
romance story. It had plenty of passion, sensual and sexy loves scenes that will
make you melt, sweet romance and friendship, and the importance of self-worth
and self-acceptance.
Although
Sammie and Tom’s romance ignited into a steamy affair within a short period of
time, it was fuelled by a longing that was four years in the making; so the
instant attraction was more believable, especially after they both realized they
shared a moment years before.
But,
romance aside, I loved the message this story held. Sammie had objectified
herself for so many years. She’d allowed herself to be used and abused because
she believed it was what she deserved. She believed she was happy because that
was who she was. It was only when Tom opened her eyes and lifted the mask she
wore that Sammie was able to see the difference. It was only then that she
discovered she was worth so much more than she was giving, and deserved so much
more than she was given. She was finally able to accept herself.
A true
gem.

AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY:
As a child, Kris took down a pack of hungry wolves with only a hardcover copy
of "The Dragonriders of Pern" and a sharpened toothbrush. That
fateful day set her on a path traversing many storytelling worlds--dabbles in
film and comic books, time as a talent agent and a textbook photo coordinator,
and a foray into nonfiction. After co-authoring "Mind Shapes: Understanding
the Differences in Thinking and Communication", Kris returned to academia.
But she craved narrative and a richly-textured world of Fates, Shifters, and
Dragons--and unexpected, true love.
Kris lives in Minnesota with her husband, two daughters, Handsome
Cat, and an entire menagerie of suburban wildlife bent on destroying her house.
That battered-but-true copy of "Dragonriders"? She found it
yesterday. It's time to pay a visit to the woodpeckers.
