Last semester, Romy escaped from an abusive relationship with the guy she'd thought was the man of her dreams. This semester she’s putting herself back together, determined to reclaim her passion for art and for life. When she signs up for a painting class at the local art co-op, the possibility of passion becomes very real -- in the form of her teacher, Caleb. Both mysterious and seriously hot, Caleb bares his soul on his canvases, and Romy’s fascinated by what she sees.
Caleb is just trying to keep his head above water. Caring for his traumatized, unstable sister is getting harder every day, and his paintings are so dark and bleak that no one is buying. Teaching classes at the co-op is no longer enough, and now he’s going to have to sell more than just his art to the wealthy, sex-starved women in his classes. But when Romy comes along, she makes everything more complicated. She sees the truth in his paintings -- a truth no one else has realized, until now.
Romy and Caleb might have a real shot together -- one that could heal them both. But when ghosts from their pasts re-emerge, determined to keep them apart, will they be strong enough to hold on to each other?
My Review:
This was a book, which contained quite a lot of memories of abuse from the past, so if you do not like that type of thing, this may not be for you.
I enjoyed the relationship that formed between Romy and Caleb as I did truly feel that they deserved some happiness, and an outlet to be able to blow off some steam.
The troubles and tribulations of Caleb's life, were depicted in his paintings and even he could not decipher or try and explain what he was trying to tell people until Romy came along she made everything clear, as if he was reading it in an encyclopedia and everything was explained and from that moment in time, she made everything better for him and he looked at life from a fresh pair of eyes.
This was a moving, and quite remarkable story, and I would definitely read more from Mila Ferrera, as he penmanship was awesome, she drew you into the characters, which is something that is not easily done.
4 stars from me.
