The Art Collector - Release Day Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

The Art Collector
by Katelyn Brehm

What is it about:
A quiet art historian. An irresistible demon. And an insatiable hunger neither can escape.

Madelyn Frye enjoys her simple, drama-free life, even if it means there's an empty seat next to her on the couch at night. But when her firm lands a lucrative contract to appraise the paintings of an infamous mansion with a storied past, her comfortable routine is upended by the handsome and mysterious millionaire who owns it.

For over a century, Thomas von Dreiss has resigned himself to a solitary fate, refusing to let his hunger transform him into a monster. But he never expected the art appraiser who shows up at his door to test his unshakable restraint. Her brilliant mind and kind heart rekindle long forgotten hopes and set his carnal needs aflame.

Will Madelyn risk shattering her safe and predictable world to be with Thomas? And if she does, will Thomas's dark secret destroy their chance at a happily ever after?

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
This is such a sweet story.

There's a bit of a Gothic feel to this novella, but mostly it's pure yummy romantic goodness. I loved reading how Madelyn and Thomas are falling for each other, each having their own reasons for holding back. I was totally rooting for them to give in to their feelings. 

There's of course a bit of drama, but not enough to make me anxious. I was confident I would get a HEA for Madelyn and Thomas and when it came it was as romantic as I hoped it would be,

Overall a delicious Paranormal Romance with a mature hero and heroine.

Why should you read it:
It's a sweet and romantic PNR with a Gothic feel
