The book is fun and good to read. I've loved the author's idea on the creation of the story. The characters are perfect. I give this book 4 stars out of 4.

The pro for me in the book is the delicate way in which the romances are portrayed. The con for me is the lack of historical accuracy.

This book sounds interesting. I like how it combines art, mystery and romance. The fact that this may or may not be a Da Vinci painting in the book is also very intriguing. I'm also glad to hear that the characters are pretty fleshed out. Thanks for your review.

I am not a big fan of the romance genre, but I do like the paranormal aspect of this one, and sometimes it is nice to have a light read. I can always skip over the "adult only" moments if they are too graphic.

I was intrigued by the book's mix of genres, and I especially enjoyed the historical fiction aspect. While it may be a bit heavier on the romance than I would have liked, I find the characters compelling and I am curious to see how it'll play out. Looking forward to finishing this book soon!

Good review! I hope it's not the exact same as The Da Vinci Code and has some novelty. Congo!

From my view according to your review, I see a historical romance story. Romance stories are good as they fire up the desire for one to lead a romantic life. Nevertheless many cases of intimacy may cross the line into erotica. I think many authors would need to consider that fact.
With romance being a strong theme in this book, then the audience has been set.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

I agree from reading the sample it seems heavy on the romance. I appreciate you mentioning that the thriller elements are compelling as I wasn't connecting to the romance in the beginning chapters. But, I might give it a chance for the action. Thank you for a great review.

This is a romantic thriller with heavy doses of suspense built into an incredible plot. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars and would recommend reading the inciteful onlinebookclub review. Congrats on being the BOTD.
