I was provided a copy of this novella through Net Galley.Typically, novellas leave me wanting.  Not true of this story.  It’s not always about the number of pages but the size of impact.  The author was able to breathe life into each of the characters and bring my senses along for the ride.This story is about an up and coming artist Sienna Karr, who is finishing out art school in preparation for the real world.  Sienna knows making the right connections is critical in the competitive industry and is faced with tough decisions that will affect her future.Her classmate, Dave appreciates art but really just wants to run the family business.  His aunt is the gallery owner to one of the hippest gallery’s and if Sienna plays her cards right could be her much needed foot in door.  Best of all, he is handsome, well connected and looks good on paper.Then, there’s Erik, the class model.  Erik is a struggling artist insisting Sienna’s work is above the others in the class. His modeling allows him to focus on breaking through the industry as the next up and coming artist.  Although they have an immediate connection, his modeling tends to attract the attention of every woman he meets.
