A Furious Muse by AJ Nuest my review
Review Courtesy of April Hollingworth
Okay so A Furious Muse is the first part in The Golden Key Legacy series, each part will continue on from each other so all will be needed to be read to see how it all ends. Now here’s the thing, this book leaves you begging for the next part so I’d advice having all four parts of The Golden Key Legacy ready so you can carry on reading. AJ Nuest’s writing is wonderful, her stories almost sing out pictures while you’re reading them. I honestly can’t get enough of this series. Wonderfully brilliant, I’m in love with this series.
Opening Scene:
The low caress of a maniacal laugh raised the hair on her arms, and Faedrah paused in her flight up the stairs.
The Review:
As the single heir to the half-blood gypsy king and his prophesied white queen, Princess Faedrah Austiere has been defined by her place within the kingdom. She is fiercely protected, shuttered inside an ivory castle and well trained in the art of war. Yet the duties as a future queen and the black infestation threatening her kingdom, fail to hinder the mysterious and relenting pull of the antique armoire hidden in her parents’ bedchamber. Stealing the golden key and leaping through time, Faedrah is determined to confront the dark lord haunting her dreams.
Rhys McEleod has been haunted by one face for the past twenty years. One face he can’t stop painting. One face, the face of a woman so fierce and beautiful she’s the only one he ever paints. The face of his muse a woman he doesn’t even believe exists, until she walks into his art gallery sexy as hell and looking for a fight. He’s still unsure she’s the same woman he’s envisioned since childhood, until he spots the golden key around her neck. Something he’s never fully shown in any of his paintings.
Now all he has to do is convince her he’s not the enemy and that they are destined for one another.
Notable Scene:
One of her arms lifted, and she aimed a sharp finger at her picture on the wall. “Would you care to explain the meaning of this…this abomination? And I caution you to speak plainly, or I shall be compelled to extract the truth by more than simple query alone.”
Holy mother of God, that voice. He slumped. The cutting British accent and old world dialect were so much better than he could’ve ever anticipated.
On leaden legs, he clomped forward a step…and then one more. Not a day had gone by he hadn’t fantasized about running into her like this. Someplace unexpected. Where he would never predict she’d been waiting for him.
But she couldn’t be real. No way, no way could he seriously be staring into the face of the one woman by whom he’d judged all others. The one who was so perfect she couldn’t possibly exist.
