Love's Portrait is a sexy and sweet story about a woman who doesn't want to lose herself to another man and a man who has finally realized that what he has been rejecting all along, is something that he truly wants.Julia's late husband was a controlling and abusive man. When he died, Julia vowed to never be under a man's control again. In the spirit of doing something daring, Julia posed for a naked portrait. No one is to ever see it. It is for her eyes only, a way to remind her of the independence she wants to hold onto. Morgan St. Claire gets a peek at the painting and is instantly intrigued by the woman in the portrait. When he realizes that it is none other than Julia, Morgan wants Julia in his arms and in his bed. Morgan pursues her. Julia is afraid to give in to Morgan because he threatens the independence she sorely wants.I thoroughly enjoyed reading Love's Portrait. I loved Morgan and Julia's banter and interaction. The chemistry between them was believable and I liked how the romance between them progressed naturally. Julia's constant stubborness regarding her independence started to wear thin towards the end of the book but I liked how nicely everything came together.
