I normally don't read 'romance' novels and if I had seen the cover of this book, I probably would not have picked it up! But when Simon and Shuster sent me an email about it, it sounded like books I normally read and there wasn't a picture, so I said OK, I'll be happy to read it!
Synopsis: Art historian Campbell Stratford
has
piqued more than readers’ interest with her salacious, tell-all
“fictographies”
of seventeenth-century painters. But she is more intimately familiar
with her
subjects than anyone can imagine. Thanks
to a time portal she accidentally discovered, Campbell has been
visiting— and
causing quite a stir in— the Great Beyond.
When Campbell sees the
breathtaking and
provocative portraits of half-clothed noblewomen produced by Sir Peter
Lely,
she dons her period travel garb, determined to dig up a great story.
But Lely, portraitist to the king, has been
recruited by the Guild protecting dead artists to save their reputations
by
sabotaging Cam’s latest project.
After
a few hours of posing on Lely’s chaise—and a night of seductive
passion—Cam
returns home and discovers Lely’s betrayal.
But before she can turn her angry pen on her lover, Sir Peter
makes a
surprise visit to the future and transforms Cam’s twenty-first-century
life
into chaos of classic proportions.
See! Sound interesting doesn't it?????
Review: This was definitely a page turner! It's a weird hybrid of romance novel, time travel novel, history/art based novel and mystery. The time travel storyline was really interesting (don't want to give away the access point, but let's just say you'll hesitate when pulling up a common internet site from now on!). I learned alot a art that I didn't know and about the backstabbing world of art museums (who knew??). The mystery was nicely solved and I liked the ending, always a plus! I will have to warn that the 'romance' part can be explicit at times, as most romance novels are, but if you're squeamish about reading those sections, you can skip over them easily!
This is definitely one to put on the list for reading by the pool or beachside! It's readily available as it's out in paperback, so pick up a copy today and you won't be disappointed!
