In Colorado artist, John "Sartyr" Sartain is known as much for his erotic paintings as his lifestyle. Rumors abound that he built a castle high in the mountains to be away from peeping paparazzi when he hosts orgies. His business agent Douglas Tanner hires business manager Natalie Brighton to represent Sartyr's growing empire. She is to meet him for the first time at his remote abode.

At night Natalie arrives at Sartyr's isolated castle; not knowing what to expect from her employer. She finds herself already half seduced just by his work, but in person the lure is stronger. He feels the same pull. However, as they share games of lust and forbidden love, someone hates the artist so much a negative campaign has begun to destroy his reputation. Soon Natalie will find herself facing peril from an adversary who loathes Sartyr or perhaps from the great man himself who could be purposely playing adrenaline games with her heart.

FEAR IF FALLING is a heated contemporary romance starring a likable heroine and a hunk aptly nicknamed Sartyr. Because of the remoteness of the castle, the danger to the "innocent" heroine and the dark lure of the lead male, fans will fell that Cindi Myer has written a solid modern day gothic romantic thriller.

I was disappointed in this novel and found myself bored by it. Pretty much there's this pervy artist type (Sartain) living in a castle in the mountains who needs a 'manager' to run his business. This guy specializes in paintings of a... Ahem risque nature. I liked the character Natalie, liked the way she handled herself but John Sartain left me cold. I have no patience for spoiled artist types and he and his fetish pictures seemed a little silly to me. I like my heroes to be mature men and Sartain seemed like a freak who liked to paint dirty pictures. Instead of seeming sexy like the author intended I found the man distinctly creepy. 1 star. Not my thing I guess...

This book is one of my favorites so far in the Blaze line! Gothic and sexy, you will fall in love with the characters!
