Rendition Supposing Books Gastien: From Dream To Destiny (Gastien #2)
“I am Gastien Beauchamp, artist and lover. Any Frenchman would tell you that a peasant could never own property in nineteenth century France. Yet here I am, in my very own studio. The personal cost was horrendous. I barely survived the choices I made, and my sanity was pushed to its limits.Still, I finally now have security, peace, and freedom. For the rest of my life I can spend time “making love to the color”, making love to beautiful women, and enjoying the wild nightlife of bohemian Montmartre. What more could a man need or want?
Then, one night, I see her. One look at Sophie, and my heart wants to betray me! I try to tell myself that I know better. Who needs love, anyway? I am already married-to my art!
No woman would ever understand and accept my lifestyle; nor am I about to give that lifestyle up. Not when I paid so dearly for it! Besides, I am too badly damaged to ever open up my heart…and if Sophie found out about my past she would not want to even know my name. I can’t take that chance. I have had enough pain to last me a lifetime.”

BRIEF SUMMARYWe were introduced to Gastien in book 1' The Cost of the Dream' were we followed him to a certain point in his life. In book 2 'From Dream to Destiny, we get to follow Gastien between 1855 to 1899 as he comes into his own.THOUGHTSAlthough you can read book 2 and not really be lost I would still recommend to the reader to read book 1. I think this process of reading about someone's life since a toddler until now is new and interesting for me. The prologue sets the pace by briefing on
I was asked to review Gastien: From Dream to Destiny when I was done reading it. If you havent read the first book in the series, I highly recommend doing so before tackling this one. I enjoyed this book much better than the first; it wasnt as emotionally draining which made it easier to read. Though there is more romance than in the first book, its very different from the typical romance novel. This is a very sexually charged book which may put some readers off, but its well worth reading. I
absolutely loved Gastien Part 1 and never thought I that Caddy Rowland could write a second book as good as the first. I have loved Gastien's story from the very beginning. I have laughed with, cried with, and felt like punching the different characters in these books. I hate to see Gastien's story come to an end but I can't wait to experience the story of Tristan Michel. Caddy Rowland has done such an amazing job with these two books I know that I will ALWAYS make it a point to read EVERYTHING
Can't wait till 3rd book comes out this Spring.
This is book two in the Gastien Beauchamp series, taking place from 1855 1899. This book starts with a lot of review of the previous book. Of course, I recommend you read Part 1, The Cost of The Dream. But if you dont, you will get the basics of it throughout this book. I must say, I enjoyed this book much more than the first. While both books are dark and portray a very honest look at Gastiens life, this one had a bit more lighthearted moments that made it better for me.Ok, so trying to focus
Another great book in this historical series. As with the first book, this one is a tear jerker as well, so get the kleenex ready.
