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.

What a magical journey

The first book in the Beautiful Magic series sees paintings coming to life for Julian Garnier. Julian, an intern at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, gets more than he bargained for when he spends his nights at the museum. Not only are paintings coming to life, but they are also starting to disintegrate before his very eyes. Falling in love with the beautiful woman from a Renoir was not his plan, but spending every evening with Clio, walking, talking and romancing is just enough to make them both fall. A bit of a whodunnit mystery, with Julian and Clio racing against the clock to try and find out what’s happening to the paintings so that they can do whatever it takes to remove the curse, and save them before they’re permanently damaged. Sadly the cure is going to take a lot more from them than just time. Ooh to get into Lauren Blakely’s mind. I cannot comprehend what it takes to come up with such a fantastical romance, I’m in awe. Lauren’s a firm favourite of mine, and she never disappoints, add in narration from Jason Clarke and this audio really does come to life.

A beautiful escape

A wonderful escape into a different world full of art, beauty, magic, muses and more. Lauren has outdone herself with this magical novel and with Shane East narrating I was in audio heaven.
