Artistic Pursuits

Another beautiful installment to the Bottled Up series. I know I say this about each new book, but this really is my favorite so far. Its really easy to say that each of these books just keeps getting better and in this case its true.
In this book we meet Frank, a FBI agent who is given a case of stolen Tiffany windows and Leslie, an agent from Interpol who just happens to be in the US on a similar case. They meet, they work the case, and of course they act on their attraction. What made this book so great was the pull the two felt for each other, but their thinking things can't work out because the little problem of living on different continents. They make you root for their HEA because deep down you KNOW they belong together. I loved when they finally figured this out too. And as always we were given a glimpse of past characters, Nicolai and Brian and introduced to new ones as well.
I can't recommend this series enough. Try it, you'll love it.

As you all know, I absolutely adore Andrew Grey’s stories. Bottled Up / Artistic series is one of my favourites. I was exceedingly excited when I finally got my hands on a copy of Artistic Pursuits but, wow, I didn’t expect it to be so hot and sensual while developing such interesting and yummy characters.
Artistic Pursuits could easily be read as a stand alone, yet you do still get a sense of continuity with the whole. What makes this one stand out to me is that while Artistic Pursuits is a M/M romance, it is also a mystery/suspense story.
The case was both plausible and interesting. I loved watching the power shifting and struggles between Leslie and Frank as they stumble their way through their budding relationship. Watching Frank grow was wonderful.
“He’s a little groggy, but he was asking for you. That is if you’re,” she said, snickering, “Snuggle Buns.”
“I’m going to kill him,” Frank said as they walked into the ward.
Artistic Pursuits is a must read for all M/M lovers out there. But, I warn you, if you aren’t already a fan, you will be one once you devour this read! I eagerly await the next in the series Legal Tender (Release Date: April 6, 2012). Thankfully Andrew isn’t making us wait for our next dose of sexy men!
