4.5 stars. (I grade Romance on a curve.)A jewel of a romance. Even though I keep testing the waters of the genre, I've found very little to love. This one is unlike anything else I've read and an unexpectedly delightful surprise, although it has a bit of a slow start.The story revolves around two separate relationships in which the author has caught the essence of creativity, fascination with the visual, and the importance of the muse. The sex isn't blatantly graphic, but artistically sensual. At only one point is the plot development less than plausible. The Genius and the Muse wraps up with not one, but two nicely done HEAs. 3.5-stars #contemporary adult romanceThe plot ? It is simple and original.The MCs? Artistic. Romance? Real.I enjoyed Elemental Mysteries series by Elizabeth Hunter. The Genius and the Muse has only 213 kindle pages, but is packed with two love stories that were written in an ingenious way. Kate, a graduate student in photography, was writing her thesis on a famous, reclusive photographer Reed O’Connor. This led her to learn the love story of Reed and Samantha. During this time, Kate met Javi, a good friend of Reed. Their romance was lovely developed without melodrama.This is a story about love, loss, mistakes, and a second chance. Ms. Hunter’s writing style is effortless and I am glad I read it.#some sex scenes: hot, but not graphic # photographer # sculptor # painter
