Listen to Chantel play her hauntingly beautiful violin That is everything.”īe ready for a beautiful and haunting look into three lives that are so irrevocably entwined that you yourself may feel like you will never be able to let go… That is the beginning, and that is the end. The fact that the book is accompanied with the beautiful music that is Chantel, you begin to wonder if you really are in the chateau yourself or if it is just a trick your mind is playing on you… Almost like I was peering into the rooms and watching the story take place.

I almost felt like I was reading something that was a secret and I had to creep around the halls in search for the truth of its inhabitants. While reading I couldn’t help but envision the dark depths of sadness combined with the halls of the chateau and lose myself. The darkness of the storytelling entwined with passion and things that are forbidden reminded me a lot of Interview with a Vampire. She travels to France to stay at the chateau and little does she know, she will immerse herself into the past present and future of all that is Chantel and Philippe, she herself will never be the same. Gemma Harris is a beautifully buttoned up journalist with the opportunity to get some answers from the artist who has been secluded in his man made prison. But Philippe is one who has hidden himself away for years after people have dubbed him the local villain, and now after years of seclusion he has finally let someone in… In his Dark, eerie and beautiful Chateau in France, the beautiful Philippe Tibideau lives a reclusive life, a renowned artist for his six beautiful paintings of his life, his muse, Chantel Rosenburg. This is a very different book from the contemporary novels written by Ella Frank. WOW.įirst of all, this is an erotic novel, just so people are aware. I cant even begin to explain the feelings and emotions that this beautiful book stirred in me.

I was lucky enough to land my little hands on a copy of this from Ella Frank herself. And with the anniversary of his sister’s death fast approaching, the time for explanations is running out.Oh where to begin. He doesn’t know what Julien did all those years ago. It’s a truth that he fights to overcome daily with the help of his husband, Joel Priestley, and now their boyfriend, Robbie Bianchi.īut unlike Priest, Robbie doesn’t know what he’s helping Julien to fight. And a face that the American public fell for by the millions, on a reality show that inadvertently saved his life.īut behind the shine of celebrity, behind the easygoing nature, a crippling truth fills Julien with pain and self-loathing. One that only a handful of people know about.Ī thriving career.

And when it comes to a broken heart, there are no rules, only time…įor the past eight years, Julien Thornton has been living with a secret.
