Tanya Taylor loves artwork as only an artist could. When she sees a painting of a pirate dating back to the 1790’s, she just has to have it, even though her credit card says she shouldn’t. Then one evening she finds a mysterious stranger in her bedroom that bears a striking resemblance to the pirate in the painting. Stede O’Flannery enjoyed taking human form for the first time in years, though he knew he had exactly one week to fall in love or the curse will return him to the painting. And without love, he’ll have to wait patiently until his next opportunity to take human form arises. But love requires two people. Now can Stede convince Tanya that he’s in love with her, or more importantly can he convince himself?
This is a cute story about an interesting couple. I really enjoyed Stede’s personality and how he had adapted to modern life. Tanya was also an interesting person too. But I really wish that Moon Beam played a larger role in the story. She's too interesting of a character to have just a walk on role in the story. The basis for the story shows that Jule has a very creative mind and I’m looking forward to reading her next book.
