The Designs, Shapes and Colors of Love
Many romance writers see their sole purpose as moving from one sexy or sensual scene to another with very little story or plot to hold their words and images together. While Ariella Talix certainly crafts a story with sexy and sensual scenes, she first carefully plots an engaging story filled with its own tension and complexities growing out of a clever and suspenseful storyline. The Artist is a delightfully lush romance that tells the tale of two lovers—Amelia and David—but it is also an artfully crafted tale of a family broken by misunderstanding and youthful callousness, but ultimately reunited by love and compassion.
First meeting during the wedding activities of family and friends, the artistic lovers part to fulfill their own creative pathways—Amelia Hernandez to Paris to intern at a design house and David Drummond to Toronto to create a welded statue for a newly constructed building. Both pledge their devotion only to run into seductive forces determined to undermine the lovers’ connections.
Finally, reunited in Paris, the tale’s twists and turns of plot are carefully plotted as Talix tempts her readers to solve abounding mysteries. Who is stealing the designs of CBC and who is the friend of Marcel who looks enough like David to be his brother? The reader is enticed by Talix’s storytelling, solving mysteries and following the growing romantic relationship of Amelia and David and their friends to an expected HEA conclusion.
Told with an artistic eye and a steady vision, Talix leads her reader with grace and control through a rich reading experience that pleases the heart and mind. Ariella Talix is writer who has mastered her craft of delighting her reader by skillfully weaving the tale of relationships, both past and present, together with the drive of individuals following their own creative passions. Family is central, with examples of affirming, supportive families who encourage their children to grow and explore their dreams set in contrast to the crippling, suffocating actions of families who would seek to stifle and limit the dreams of children when those dreams evolve in opposition to the vision of the parents. The Artist is my second Talix delight, and I look forward to exploring her other published works, anticipating new reading pleasures to come.
