"I'll show you how to trust yourself in your art.  I know you're hungry for it.  Let me break you."These novellas should be read in order:Part 1: Becoming His MusePart 2: Becoming His Muse IIPart 3: Becoming His Muse IIIIn Becoming His Muse (part 1) University art student Ava Nichols, in exchange for her friend posing for a painting, attends a lecture> at the Literature department.As she is sitting listening to world-renowned author Logan O'Shane she feels a mixture of awe, at his sinfully good looks and charisma and [insert eye roll] annoyance with his overly cocky, suave and at times cliché lecture."...if you want ideas, go out into the world... and get f*****.  I highly recommend it.  There is not art without f*******."Their eyes meet several times during the lecture and at reception afterwards Logan approaches Ava.  She get is a brief glimpse into the enigma that is Logan O'Shane which intrigues her.Logan decides to accept a teaching position with the Literature department. The story goes on to follow them on a cat and mouse chase as Logan sets out to convince Ava to be his muse.  But the University has a strict fraternization policy and Logan and Ava both have secrets and besides she is not even clear on his true motives....LOGAN O'SHANE:  33 years/Author/University professor/Dark hair/Green eyes/Smoker.Seven words to describe Logan O'Shane: Cocky, enigmatic, suave, confident, complex, insightful, and secretive.AVA NICHOLS: 21 years/University art student/Auburn hair.Seven words to describe Ava Nichols: Strong, opinionated, sarcastic, focused, conflicted, insecure and ambitious.Becoming His Muse is what looks to be a sensually charged and sexually exploring journey skirting on the forbidden.  I enjoyed their interactions, bantering and palpable sexual attraction.  Story ends abruptly, but no worries just open up, part 2,  Becoming His Muse II for the continuation of their story.Forbidden plot!  Enigmatic and captivating hero!  Excellent story-telling!  I see huge potential!"There is a difference between breaking down, breaking up, breaking even and... breaking open."***Hero rating: 4+ starsHeroine rating: 4 starsSexual tension rating: 4.5 starsSex scenes rating: 4 starsSex scenes frequency: 3 starsPlot rating: 4 starsDialogue rating: 4.5 starsStorytelling rating: 4.5 starsStory ending rating: N/ABook editing rating (5 = no edits spotted): 5 stars************************************************Overall rating: 4 starsWould I recommend this series: Yes.Would I re-read this series: Maybe later.Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
