Does everyone have a certain "type" they end up with, whether they want to or not? If Ray Carlucci's ex is anything to go by, Ray likes his men gorgeous, rebellious, and chock-full of issues. But now that Ray is single again, he has a shot at a fresh start - a very fresh start, since his tattoo shop was gutted by repo men and he can fit all his belongings in the trunk of a taxi.
Ray's shiny new chauffeur's license lands him a job as a driver for an elderly couple on Red Wing Island. It's a cold fall, and since the Michigan island is the summer home to snowbirds who fly south for the winter, it's practically deserted - save for Ray's new household and a sculptor named Anton Kopec, who works day and night twisting brambles and twine into the distorted shapes of macabre creatures. Compelling, bizarre, and somewhat disturbing...not just the sculptures, but the artist, too. Ray has a feeling Anton is just his "type".
When a dead body is unearthed by some workers and a freak ice storm traps them all on the island, Ray can't say for certain that his new flame isn't capable of murder - despite their scorching chemistry.

The couple didn't seem to be quite right for each other- but then, I think I'm just feeling protective of the main character. So great job to this author with the characters- I'm done with the story and still invested in the main character! After giving it more consideration, I think Ray and Anton do make a good, balanced out couple despite character flaws- because they're willing to work at it. Well, Ray is willing to work at it, and for now, that's enough to close a book on.
As for the 'thriller' aspect of this book, it kind of has more of a cozy mystery feel to it. I liked it, but I wouldn't label it as a thriller; especially so blatantly as to use it as a sub-title. I think that would mislead some readers into expecting less romance and something more scary.
The narrator did a great job of making each character sound unique and I'd be glad to listen to another book narrated by them.
Overall, it's a sweet cozy read. (With some VERY cozy scenes of our lovers.) If I didn't have a lot of books on my to be read shelf, I'd be looking for more by this author.
I was provided with a free copy of this audio book by the author, publisher or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

The mystery was wonderfully plotted, and I was really surprised once the truth was revealed.
And, well, Gomez Pugh... this man is an automatic five stars for me. God, his voice!
Short, suspenseful and lovely 'read' :)

Body Art: A Thiller, is a short story, so character background was very minimal and the “thriller” factor isn't really a thriller, I didn't get goosebumps or chills when listening, it's more of a mystery if anything, like a "who done it" kind of story. Body Art introduces us to Ray, former tattoo artist who's down on his luck thanks to his drug abusing boyfriend who bled him dry of his money. Needing a job and a change in scenery, he applies for a job as a driver on an island for a pair of old rich people. I liked Ray; he's a likable character. Unfortunately, due to the story being more a novella, now that I think of it, we only get a glimpse into the kooky Anton, the artist neighbor.
We're introduced to a handful of unique characters, living in a big old house that's tainted with mystery (not thriller, sorry) and some sensual times between Ray and Anton (always a plus). I give 3.85 of 5 stars for Body Art, due to lack of more intimate moments between Ray and Anton and the abrupt end to this short story. Happy listening all!
Short (thiller?) mm romance...

I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.
Narrator Gomez Pugh skillfully brought this short thriller to life, making me wish it was longer. I wanted more as I was engulfed by the spookiest plot about a tattoo artist who turned Chauffeur. The novel is short but it carries the feel of a much heavier story. I kept guessing and wondering about the strange people he works for and meet on the island.
It is kind of a cliffhanger, I don't see the follow up on audible.
I do recommend this audiobook, it's perfect for Halloween.
Happy Listening
Keeps you guessing

If you could sum up Body Art in three words, what would they be?
interesting, sexy, creepyDid the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I like that there were several directions it could have gone and the way it ended was not what I expected. The best kind of mystery is one you don't figure out in advance.What about Gomez Pugh’s performance did you like?
great job. good voice and clearly able to distinguish between characters.If you could rename Body Art, what would you call it?

I would like to warn readers that 'the old man' is not the love interest. After that early scene, I almost stopped listening, thinking it was going in an icky direction. I'm glad I stuck with it. ;-)Sexy thriller

He ends up in a house with a lot of story and mystery and a very compelling neighbor. Unfortunately, due to the short nature of the story, we really only get a glimpse into the uniqueness that is Anton.
The “thriller” is more a mystery than really scary and it’s over almost as soon as we’re about to be afraid, but the writing is solid, the sensual times are pretty hot and the setting is absolutely perfect.

Gomez Pugh does another amazing job with this. He gives us not only women, but elderly women, a tough sounding Ray and an airy sounding Anton. Even his mad man is awesome!
