Martine: The Beginning is a beautiful, steamy and elegant romance novel. The art gallery setting is perfect for this story; its style, grace and sophistication edges the tale like lace on each sentence. I felt about this book the way I do about a fantastic coffee table book - it gave me a sense of charm and dreaminess, and made me feel just an inch closer to the kind of woman I want to be while I was reading it.Martine is beautiful in her inexperience and innocence; many complain that these kinds of characters are 'weak', but I heavily disagree. Rather, her demure femininity shows a bravery, that she's willing to act this way publicly without an armored facade. This book is unabashed in its ability to make you sigh at its beauty in one paragraph, and breathe heavily in another.
