Paige and the Reluctant Artist by Darci Garcia

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Paige and the Reluctant Artist is a fantastic read. I loved how Paige was taken with Mark right from the beginning. Storm Cloud also helped and made my love for horses deeper.

Paige is an art curator and loves her job. Life hasn’t always been so kind, but she made it to the top. Seeing a painting she wants to get to know the artist behind it. When she does meet the artist she becomes completely attracted to him. Will she get her happily ever after? The quote I chose for Paige is: “I just became lost, spinning in circles, completely unraveling, until I met Mark. He doesn’t see my career, or my designer clothes, or my oh-so-chic uptown apartment. He sees me. The me that’s been buried inside, the me that somehow convinced myself that my worth was in what I did, what I wore, where I lived, instead of the me that could care less about all of it. The me that would willingly live under a bridge with the most incredible man in the world and still know that I hit the jackpot. He opened his heart, left himself vulnerable, for me. So you see, I am still unraveling, but tenderly, wholly, and with all of my heart.”

Mark loves to paint in his downtime and he loves to rescue horses. Storm Cloud being the first and many to follow after. Storm Cloud is also what led Paige to him. Well, a painting of Storm Cloud. Mark has to overcome some challenges, but will he be able to do it? The quote I chose for Mark is: “I love you, Paige. I think I fell in love with you that first day we met. I don’t know if it was when your shoe got stuck in the mud, or when I heard you curse like a sailor under your breath or the moment I first looked into your incredible eyes and in their depths, recognized a friend. I felt like I just had a gut punch and it hasn’t changed with time. I want you to know that your suitcase is over by my closet, because this room is ours. I want you in my bed, our bed, from now on.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.
