Sum It Up!I actually found myself
wanting more! 
 

 Summary
Althea Grant's Charleston gallery might be suffering from the bad
economy, and her artistic aspirations have gone nowhere, but she's doing
just fine, thank you. When bad-boy sculptor Steel rides up on his
motorcycle looking to rent studio space, his infusion of cash is more
than welcome. But his art is raw, visceral, sexual-and completely
inappropriate for her pastel world of watercolor landscapes.

Steel, fascinated by Althea's rare albino coloring, sees in her the key
to his next piece: a metal satyr designed for bondage games. Moving into
her gallery basement is the first step; seducing the cool Southern belle
into modeling for him is the second.

As Steel peels away her careful manners and tasteful outfits, Althea
begins to realize her life isn't just fine at all-it's as pale and
washed-out as the watercolor paintings she's failing to sell. Can she
transform her life and accept her most secret desires? (Goodreads)

Review
I really enjoyed this story...but then I didn't expect much more than it
being about an albino and having some steam. I was actually surprised
that the obvious albino issue melted away and the sheer raw energy that
was Steel poured into the willing and wanton vessel that was Althea.

As these two art lovers share their visceral experiences regarding
Steel's satyr, their relationship deepens and becomes more about drawing
out the passion and rawness that exists within each of them. I enjoyed
Steel's insight into Althea and her "hang-ups", but more I loved his
demanding nature. Whether it be his demands for her clothing, his
demands for her posing or his demands that she paint for him, Steel
brings his whole self to the table and in return extracts the real
Althea.

I really enjoyed this short steamy novel. I actually found myself
wanting more! Enjoy!
