About this listen
A gorgeous stand-alone forbidden romance with magical elements!
Fall in love with The Muse, a sweeping romance set in a modern-day Paris that's full of magic, art, mysteries, and passion from number one NYT best seller Lauren Blakely, performed by Shane East!
The first time a woman stepped out of a painting, I thought I was seeing things. The second time, I thought I was going mad. The night she emerged from a Renoir, I felt something else entirely - a deep stirring of desire, and the wish to get to know the brilliant beauty who's been trapped inside a painted garden for years.
She can only come out at night in the Musée d'Orsay, where I work. There, after hours, we wander through galleries, with the Van Goghs, the Monets, and the Toulouse Lautrecs the only witnesses to our midnight kisses and, soon, our trysts. She opens her heart to me, and I learn her story. But she keeps secrets, too - ones I hope to unravel. Why she was trapped. Why Renoir is hunting her. And why artwork in famous museums across the world are starting to disintegrate. Why I, too, seem to be the only person who can repair the masterpieces.
As I fall deeper for the woman who's trapped in a museum, I'm caught up in another side of Paris after dark - one inhabited by forgers, ghosts of famous artists and, impossibly, by muses. But someone is after the woman I'm falling in love with, and it's up to me to save her, even if it means losing everything I've found with her....
With an epilogue performed by Siiri Scott.

When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Story
Jane Black has written the breakup album of the century, earning her a Grammy, a huge legion of new fans, and the pressure to repeat her success. Sure, the heartbreak from her husband's unconventional abandonment might have been her inspiration, but it hasn't done her any favors in the dating department. So when Matthew Harrigan, the toughest music journalist out there, asks for an interview, Jane agrees - as long as her personal life is completely off-limits. British, gorgeous, and way too tempting, Matthew's the first guy Jane's been attracted to since her husband.

I’ve sworn off men to focus on my dream job that starts on Monday. But my best friend talks me into a final night of fun—a blind date. I only agree because the guy is going to work as a doctor in Africa. It’s the best date of my life. Dr. Africa makes me laugh and swoon, and I want to give him a thorough physical examination. He turns into Dr. One Night Stand, and I’m not sad about it. Monday morning, I’m enthusiastic and excited, until I bump into...you guessed it.

Let me list the reasons why dating the sexy, charming pro hockey star is a bad idea: He’s one of my closest friends. All our friends are friends. The wounds I’ve got from past relationships go deep. And so do his. We’re both devoutly single - it’s just safer for the heart that way. But there’s no reason not to bid on the gorgeous, clever athlete at the charity auction this weekend. If I win, it’ll be a "friendsdate".

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Friends don't bang friends. I want my friends to stay in my life, especially that flirty, clever, outgoing best friend of mine. It's a darn good thing Owen and I made a pact in college to never ever sleep together, or else I'd be tempted. Trouble is, eight years later, I've been wondering what his kisses taste like. And I've been curious if our chemistry would extend into the bedroom. If he might feel the same risky pull. But I don't want to lose Owen.

Trouble is, after we spend a scorching night together on the beach, I discover she’s my new enemy.

But every night I spend with him the dangerous, off-limits attraction grows more intense. Until one night in a limo when we combust.

It seemed like a good idea at the time - I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks. But then he responded. Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.

There are three words most men can’t resist - I dare you. So as you can see, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I had no choice when my buddies said, “I bet you can’t get that brunette beauty to kiss you before the night ends.” I proved them wrong, and oh how good it felt to be right when I swept the quick-tongued woman into my arms and kissed the breath out of her at the party. But, I made a slight miscalculation. Turns out she’s my brand new enemy.

I can't even board the metro to visit the Louvre without ending up at the Moulin Rouge, and let's not even mention how I'll ever make it through a day at my new office. Fortunately my company hooks me up with my own personal translator. Ooh la la. Or should I say bloody hell? Because he's charming, witty, and British, and he brings the city to life for me.

When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

For Kate Mitchell, finishing her master's thesis on reclusive photographer Reed O'Connor was just another item to check off her list. She knew exactly what she was doing. Or did she? There's just one portrait that doesn't fit. One portrait... and the passion she sees behind it. Finding the story behind O'Connor's picture becomes Kate's obsession, and the people she meets will challenge everything she thought she knew about life, love, and inspiration. A single picture can tell more than one story.

I may not understand why people get married, but I’d go anywhere for my brother, even his friend Camille’s wedding. Once I’m there, I realize our Bronx upbringing has left me unprepared for the world of old Southern money. Over 24 hours, I see scandal, threats, and lies. It’s a life I don’t relate to, a place I never want to belong. Even so, when the minister asks if anyone objects, I shock not only myself but also the beautiful bride when I stand up.

My new boss likes rules, but there's one nobody dares to break... No touching his banana. Seriously. The guy is like a potassium addict. Of course, I touched it. If you want to get technical, I actually put it in my mouth. I chewed it up, too....I even swallowed. I know. Bad, bad, girl. Then I saw him, and believe it or not, choking on a guy's banana does not make the best first impression. I should backtrack a little here. Before I ever touched a billionaire's banana, I got my first real assignment as a business reporter.

Wow! Brilliant!
I have read a lot of Lauren Blakely’s books. This one is something special! Having seen all these paintings in all those museums (except the Hermitage) added to my pleasure while listening. The art and art history research and Lauren’s creative imagination were just great. Just brilliant! Wow!

Whimsical and Paranormal Shades
At first I thought the book was boring, then became interesting about half through it, when Clio started sharing about who she actually was. I enjoy learning about Clio's background, meaning being one of the nine muses from Greek Mythology was what sparked my interest. Having been at the Musee d'Orsey brought some memories of the time I visited, as the museum is a character in itself in the story. Speaking of, most characters were likeable, l particularly liked Simon's sense of humor, Remi and Sophie wit. Not that I disliked the main characters, but I had to struggle accepting Clio and Julien amorous odd relationship, just as much was Julien speaking with Thalia??? Now, who has an amorous /sexual relationship with a portrait! And for that I found Julien to be a bit eccentric with a dash schizophrenia.The writer, (who I love) in spite of employing such imagination also appears to be trying to create a Jackson Pollock painting (which incidentally was refrenced in the book), This book contains tons of artistic references, understably so, quite educational. I particularly enjoyed learning about Rosa Bonheur, French artist/painter. Shane East was great!

Not what I expected and loved it!
I'm not sure how to describe this book but it's worth reading. It's not like any other Lauren Blakely book I've listened to. The narration was fantastic, the story very fun, and the love shone through. I'm not much of a fantasy reader but the story kept my interest from start to finish. I couldn't put it down!

Not Your Typical LB Book
This is not your typical Lauren Blakely book, and I mean that in a good way. For those expecting steamy sex scenes with some plot in between, this is not that book. This book has more of a plot, was much more interesting, and for me much more enjoyable than your typical LB fare. No explicit steamy sex scenes at all, just a sweet, magical, romance. As always, Shane Eastman’s narration was excellent.

Loved this story!
Lauren Blakely is taking me to Paris again! I love when we travel together, and this is a brand new kind of trip. Magical and mysterious, we enjoy beautiful art, coming to life intertwined with danger and romance. Julian has always loved art, and when he sees it come to life after hours, he is intrigued. Especially with one. Clio is beautiful, but could she be real? She is in the picture. These two take a journey like no other, full of intrigue and love. And just when you think you know what is going to happen, Blakely takes us in a completely different direction. I love the history and imagery in this one, making me feel like I am there. The story is captivating and exciting. Much different than the normal romantic comedy, Blakely shows her versatility and talent with the pen and captured my heart.
I do believe Lauren writes with a narrator in mind because a better choice could not have been made. Shane East, with his alluring voice captures each character. Accents are spot on, emotions perfect, this man is the perfect fit giving this masterpiece the class it deserves. And then we finish with the incredible Siiri Scott bringing it all to a conclusion with a fabulous performance. I loved it!

Magical Love Story
I really enjoyed this magical and mysterious love story set in art museums in Paris. Does the woman really step out of the painting? Is she real? This is a different but wonderful story by Lauren Blakely. Shane East narrates beautifully.

A Magical Read
Another wonderful read from Lauren. I could listen to Shane read a telephone book, so the narration was just the icing on this tasty cake of a story.
I love the storyline based around a museum and fine art. The plot being magical is different and proved that Lauren is a great in many genres.
She had me wondering how we were going to get a HEA but Lauren did not disappoint.
I like that the story ended in her POV and Siiri did a wonderful job narrating it.
Thank you Lauren, Shane and Siiri for an enjoyable listen!
