Art first. Love later…or so she thought.
Sea life sculptor Piper Diaz is tired of being pressured to conform. She
is never marrying, joining her family’s investment firm, or moving from her
tiny industrial loft. Her sole focus is getting her artwork shown. And
screw anyone who’s told her to drop the hobby. Nothing
will stop her now that Pacific Blue Fine Art Gallery has agreed to show her
sculptures. Things are finally going her way…
That is until entrepreneur and businessman Alex Hutton purchases the
gallery and has zero interest in unknown artists. He gives her a choice to work
for him or quit.
Alex has sunk all his money into reimagining Pacific Blue and turning it
into a premier gallery. He won’t be distracted and certainly not by the
beautiful Latina glaring at him. Still, there’s something about Piper he can’t
shake, regardless of his heart-shattering past. Pacific Blue must open in a
month or he loses everything. Working alongside Piper might just cause him to
lose his heart along with his investment.
Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Struggling artist Piper was counting on being able to exhibit her sculptures at the gallery that she works at until it is taken over by new owner Alex. Alex has bet his money on reinventing the gallery but only by showing established artists. Alex comes from money, and a family that fell apart after the death of his mother. His father being absent and not showing support towards his sons. Alex is determined he will not have a long term relationship with any woman and has no intention of settling down and having a family. He is carrying a secret as to why he won't do this but perfects the persona of one-night stands.
Piper is happy being single and is keen to establish herself as an artist. It is all she has aspired to be. Her family puts pressure on her marry and join the family's investment business. She is not taken serious by them.
This is an example of sticking to your dreams and working hard to achieve them as Piper doesn't give up on her dream but then her art speaks for itself. I loved Piper and her love for life - living life to the fullest. This balanced out Alex's seriousness, despite the carefree attitude tries to portray.
I really enjoyed their story, the vividness of the locations and seeing the world through Piper's art and eyes. A really good fun read.
