They are his inspiration. He is their obsession. Icon, rebel, unabashed romantic... With a single look painter Thomas Rodin conveys the ecstasy of creativity--the pleasures awaiting the woman who can fuel his artistry. the Innocent What did this master artist see in me? Genius abided in his soul, rapture in his flesh--I doubted not. To refuse him...my folly. To surrender...my sensual salvation. the Upstart I chafed at the bonds of servitude until he set me free. I turned my back on all that I knew to follow him and found myself between two men--master and student--one whom I loved with my heart...the other with my body. the Courtesan I understood, perhaps better than any, his needs. I stoked the fires of his soul, the spark of his creativity--he made me a legend. But never could I forget his searing touch.... Three transcendent tales of women bewitched by a master of seduction--a slave as much to his art as to his boundless passion. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

* Very sensual
* Beautifully written
* Heartbreakingly sad at times
* writer has a gift for writing very sensual and seductive sex scenes -- and steamy
* Thomas is a delightful cad at time, mad artist at others and just a truly fascinating character
* The opening chapter is wonderful and gets you hooked right away
* Loved the spunk of the muse Sarah. She is very much like Thomas self involved but not evil or unkind
* Did I mention that there were some seriously steamy scenes, thinking hubby might just get lucky later
* It's historical and we know I love that in my romances
* The guy on the cover is yummy
The Not so Good Stuff
* The story on the 2nd muse is a little weak story-wise, which is a shame as she is a fascinating character
* Liked the character of William and would have liked more on him, but that would have made the book way too long
Favorite Quotes/Passages
"I consider myself a spiritualist, a believer in karma more so than doctrine. My passion lies in the tip of my brush, but my inspiration is women. They are my muses. I ask you, what creature in all the earth epitomizes such beauty and grace?"
"Thomas regards women with the same awe that other men reserve for the stars, or a sunrise.”
"Your hair is glorious. That deep russet—those mahogany undertones are positively scandalous!"
"I'd seen the face of a dear friend murdered by God knows who and God knows why, because she’d had no choice but to do what she did to survive. "
What I Learned
* a new term for prostitute - Ladybird
* Having a sensual affair with an artist sounds extremely decadent
* Artist's make very poor husbands
* Never judge someone by their profession (oldest)
Who should/shouldn't read
* Sooooo not for the prudish
* Fantastic book for a cold winter's night or with a glass of wine in the hot tub (but I advise getting the book and not reading an e-copy in the water -- that could go bad)
* Fans of Bertrice Small, Jo Beverly, Mary Jo Putney will enjoy
