This was such a beautiful read. It was tragic, infuriating, alluring and sexy at times, but that just says more about Adrienne Wilder's obvious skill at crafting believable worlds and real characters.Paris started out as an enigma to me, but I was soon drowning in his emotions. Adrienne's prose is so descriptive and draws you into the story completely. You never feel like you are removed from the action and emotion is poured over the characters like olive oil and you're soon drenched in descriptive narrative that pulls you along for a ride that leaves you completely satisfied and exhausted in all the right ways.I loved Roy from the first awkward moment he's introduced and quickly wished him a hero in my own life. He's nothing but a gentle spirit and and gentle heart that finally got to wear a suit that fits.Lord help me if there is one author who is good at doing a bad guy character it's Adrienne. I have no qualms about letting anyone know that I really, really, really wanted to smack Julia a good few times (smack is actually far too kind) but again it's just a testament to Adrienne's skill of making characters come alive.Paris sees the world in colors, and the way Adrienne describes it is brilliant. One tender scene between Paris and Roy left Paris speechless to describe his emotions, and he described it to Roy in colors. It is one of the scenes in all the books I've read that will stay with me for a very, very long time.Complementary Colors is beautifully written and I felt completely immersed in Adrienne's effortless narrative voice. If you are looking for a sexy and psychological read, with really good guys 100% bastards, this read comes highly recommended.
