Review: Unusual Beautiful Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 15, 2013
A love story and a treasure hunt with a blacker-than-blackhearted villain. The characters of Nicolas (who narrates the story) and his wife are well-delineated and their sexual discovery of each other is presented with an oddly endearing air that is almost innocent in its presentation.The backstory of Luca's first encounter with Bruno foreshadows the choice that young man must make to save the woman he and Nicolas love, as well as da Vinci's masterpiece. This is a well-researched story with many art references with a deft handling of a subject many writers might skirt or avoid completely. Written in a style that evokes literature of the period in which this story is set, Loving Leonardo is an erotic thriller, and an enjoyable adventure of three lusty young people striving to save both themselves and a work of art that is in itself a declaration of love.This novel was supplied by the author and no remumeration was involved in the writing of this review.
