We were lucky enough to get an early audiobook copy of Lush Lives written by J. Vanessa Lyon. The audiobook narration, of Lush Lives, was done by Lynnette R. Freeman. I would recommend either version of the book, if you love a good romance, and some drama sprinkled throughout taking place in the mysterious world of art and auction houses of NYC.
Curating Edits Review of Lush Lives
Glory Hopkins
Glory Hopkins is a struggling artist trying to find gallery representation. Luckily, she has inherited her Aunt Lucille’s brownstone. Needing to gather money to sustain the upkeep of the brownstone, Glory takes a few of her Aunt Lucille’s objects to an auction house for appraisal.
Parkie de Groot
Parkie de Groot works in the auction house Glory Hopkins walks into. The chemistry is instant. What we find out is that Parkie is a powerhouse, not only is she amid a promotion in the auction house, but she also has some previous experience in the art world Glory is a part of. I believe they were imminently bound to meet up, it was written on the canvas.
Lush Lives
Glory and Parkie form an unlikely alliance and work to unearth the origins of a rare manuscript hidden in the brownstone’s attic. A romance ensues but with the pressures of their high-stakes career goals, a conflict threatens their newly forged relationship. The only thing that continues to bind them together is finding answers to Aunt Lucille’s manuscript, which is a mystery and a love story within itself. This book was so interesting to read, not only because of the romance but because you get a glimpse of how cutthroat the art and auction house businesses are.
SIDE NOTE: Secrets are never good to have or keep from your significant other.
For the rest, you need to get your copy of Lush Lives. Especially, to find out how they uncover Aunt Lucille’s well-hidden secret, and how they end up fighting for what’s right. This book has it all: mystery, drama, love, community, and so much more.
Lush Lives is an unforgettable novel of LGBTQIA+ love, ambition, and histories that define us, they can thank Aunt Lucille for that one!
