Honestly didn't love the book. I didn't find a huge connection between the two main characters. The book also became very religious and a bit too cheesy for me. Overall it was an okay read.

I loved the romance. The rest was a little iffy for me. People’s lives are really complicated and it’s hard to portray that when you want to have a good, clean reputation as a writer, so I guess I would say I think the writing style was a little too vanilla for the severity of the plot. Still a good listen.

New York Times bestselling author Francine Rivers returns to her romance roots with this unexpected and redemptive love story, a probing tale that reminds us that mercy can shape even the most broken among us into an imperfect yet stunning masterpiece. A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want-money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist-an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison. Like Roman, Grace is wrestling with ghosts and secrets of her own. After a disastrous marriage threw her life completely off course, she vowed never to let love steal her dreams again. But as she gets to know the enigmatic man behind the reputation, it's as if the jagged pieces of both of their pasts slowly begin to fit together¿ until something so unexpected happens that it changes the course of their relationship-and both their lives-forever.

One thing I love about Francine Rivers books is the fact that she draws you in from the first page. Her characters are always lovable and you want to find out what their story is, and with The Masterpiece there isn't an exception to the rule. I love how she gets all the threads to make this wonderful tapestry of a story.
