Now I’m being whisked away to a private island to spend a week alone with world-renowned painter Chandler Lexington.
He’s gorgeous and mysterious and eccentric.
I though he was just going to paint me, but every seductive glance has a secret hidden intention behind it, and I’m beginning to think that this is about more than creating art.

This was a pretty decent book.
Emma gets to do something not many people even have the option to do. She is going to get to work with a famous artist to be his muse and her only requirements were be young, be a virgin, and don’t ask questions. The first two she has down and the last would be a lot easier if he would talk to her instead of only using her for his artistic purposes. Granted, that is her reason for being there but still.
The sex in the book is extremely varied (for the sake of art of course), the muse/artist relationship seems one sided but mostly proves otherwise in the end, and the descriptions for everything is detailed. A good book.
I found this book interesting to read.
I was gifted an ARC copy for an honest review.
Wow! Sky Corgan’s Se7en is a romantic study in goosebumps from start to finish! Chandler Lexington is a world-renowned artist who is known for capturing human emotion. Emma Jones is a recent high school graduate and is an artist just beginning her career. She draws Manga which are adult comics in Japanese style. Chandler is having a contest for a muse who will live one week alone with him on his secluded island. She will be the subject of his next art project. There’s one immediate requirement, she must be a virgin between 18 and 21. Emma wins the contest and flies out to the island to experience a week as a muse. She and Chandler have an instant connection with a sizzle when they touch. They talk about the requirements he has for her and he gives her a contract to read and sign. His demands are seven days of absolute obedience, no contact with the outside world, she can’t say no to any of his requests no matter how personal and she can’t take legal action against him no matter what he does. Feeling just a slight amount of trepidation, she signs it so she can see how he works. Se7en is an ingenious title for this book. Seven days, seven deadly sins. Sky’s imagination flows with the sensual, maddening, passionate and heartfelt experiences of the next 7 days. Emma is exceptionally emotional (with hopes of Chandler’s love) as she gets closer to him. He is rather mysterious with his hot and cold behavior as he continues to maneuver her into position for his next painting. I kept trying to figure out just what he was trying to accomplish with each experience they had or what he put her through. At the end of 7 days, Emma has to choose between the contest money or love. She chooses love but there is a shocking surprise waiting for her. It’s a perfect ending! Everything comes together and makes sense! Sky Corgan has outdone herself!
The narration, by Kassiopia DeVora, is beautifully done with her dynamic voice giving life to both Chandler and Emma.
An excellent read. The storyline was intriguing and the ending a BIG surprise. I recommend this book. It will give you the highs and lows. The ohhs and ahhhs. Highly recommended
Holy xxxx! This book was so intense. This is the first book by Sky Corgan that I have read and I gotta say, damn! I couldn’t put it down.
In this book Emma Jones is an aspiring artist. Her best friend talks her into applying to be a muse for one week to famous Artist Chandler Lexington. The rules 1) No Questions 2) Obey every command. 3) for seven days no contact with the outside world 4) Must be a Virgin.
Emma is so excited she is chosen. She passes all the requirements and tests. She flies off to a remote location to meet with Chandler. She can’t get past how gorgeous he is. She is really nervous. As he goes over the rules one more time, telling her every move in the house is filmed and her nerves get worse. What did she sign up for? Her first task is to give her virginity to him. Wait what!?
As the week goes on the tasks get weirder and she is losing a bit of herself along the way. She is tempted to just quit and not go on, but that means a new model will take her place. Can she quit? Will she survive?
This book was so intense. The characters are so extraordinary. Emma is strong yet so innocent vulnerable at the same time. Chandler is odd and eccentric. The things that go on are just wow! I don’t really know how to describe it. I guess you could say the seven deadly sins put to test by the innocent. This book is intensely sexual and not to be read lightly. It will grab you and you won’t be able to get free till it is done. A great read.
