Parker Publishing brings the latest edition of The Lotus Blossom Chronicles with selections by Kelley Nyrae and Mandessa Selby. Nyrae’s, The Art of Love, introduces readers to Monique Brenner, a very ambitious, very beautiful owner of an art gallery. As her clientele began to build, she decided to invite the mysterious and talented Tane Koti to show his Maori Art at her gallery. Monique wanted to be professional but Tane excited her in ways she had not expected. As Monique explored the world of Maori Art and culture with Tane, her world turned upside down and it could cost her.
In Selby’s, We’ll Always Have Paris, Delilah and Jon-Phillip Dao are preparing for a very special ceremony. Surrounded by their children and grandchildren, who are eager to meet their favorite celebrities, the couple began to reminisce about their first meeting. Delilah, a sultry, cocoa-skinned beauty, was the owner of Club Indigo with dark secrets. Jon-Phillip, half French and half Vietnamese, was accepted wherever he went. But now, he must prepare his family to leave Paris to escape Hitler and his army.
Both of these authors have written stories that are entertaining and informative. Nyrae introduces the culture and art of New Zealand. The description of Maori art was very vivid. Selby took readers back in time to a period of hate. She brought together two unlikely characters that fulfilled something unimaginable. The stories were very engaging, informative, and romantic. Readers will not be disappointed.
