A hot read involving a young woman willing to do anything to save her recently deceased mother’s art gallery, even having sex with a stranger in exchange for money to pull the museum out of debt.
The sex scenes are immersive, erotic, and will leave you very aroused. I enjoyed the author’s use of real pieces of art to coincide with each chapter title. I downgraded my ranking from four stars to three because while the sex scenes were top notch, the plot was a little hokey to me.
