A very enjoyable twist on The Portrait of Dorien Gray except where the painting of Gray was deteriorated by his actions the real Max was held captive in his portrait for seventy years. I enjoyed the way that Tyler was so open to talking to Max that his feelings evolved. The mystery behind just who Max was and how he got into the painting was played out well by the author. The secondary characters were fairly one dimensional but they could not have added to the story if the were better fleshed out. ( )

I loved this story; the characters, the plot, everything. My only reason for not giving it a 5 star rating? The two main characters don't get together until almost the end of the book and then I felt like the ending was rushed. I wanted more time with them!

All in all a good book though if your a fan of paranormal m/m romance. ( )
