Transparent, by Joy Eileen, is a paranormal romance written from the POV of Morley Rivers, the main character. Morley was just a young, heartbroken woman who brought home a centuries old painting of a hottie, which just happened to have his soul trapped inside. Morley was the first person who was able to hear him. They set out to return the man trapped in the painting (Alexander) to his own time and fell in love while doing so.
I love how Alexander evolved, both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Physically, he went from an invisible ghost to an actual person, walking, eating, sleeping. Mentally, he went from a 19th century lord to being able to fit in with 21st century people. He learned a great many things from the all-knowing Google. Google truly is a lifesaver. And emotionally, he started out thinking love wasn't real, that it only hurt people or was just something made up by fools, and the book finished with him deeply in love with Morley.
If you are into paranormal and romance, then you will definitely enjoy this story.
Joy Eileen is a born bibliophile who becomes deeply engaged with her characters, and has devoured more books than she would like to admit. She becomes obsessed with happily-ever-afters, and will read any genre that fulfills that requirement. Evading the library is something she has been known to do, because after befriending the characters returning them would be a heartbreaking event. Books are held hostage on her bookshelf, and any author that makes her ugly cry becomes her sworn enemy. Nicholas Sparks is one of the many on the list of villains.
As a massage therapist, most of Joy's stories come to her while working. With the sound of classical music, and snoring from a half covered hostage, characters are created. The victim (massage patient) has no idea that while their body is being manipulated, Joy has traveled into distant lands creating landscapes and inhabitants as she goes. Her patients should be wary as sometimes they are pulled into her stories and turned into characters. Hero or Foe? Well, that depends on how they tip.
