A beautiful mosiac of emotions...

Janeen Warner is an artist who makes kaleidoscopes...makes visual magic. She's working hard to build a career on her own. Georgios Andros a musical career anyone would envy, but it's lost its sparkle for him. He's lost the magic of the music. These two artists come together, each at a different point in their career, each with something to prove...each with a lot of love to give, if only they can learn to be as free with their emotions on a personal level as they are in their art.Blanche Marriott crafts a story with a full mosiac of emotions...the most important one being love!

Excellent debut novel!

Boston, Massachusetts -- Present DayJaneen Warner is determined to succeed on her own without help from friends or family. She owns a gift shop, Chatter Box, and ultimately hopes that she will be able to distribute her custom-made kaleidoscopes to elite department stores. Right now, however, Janeen just needs enough sales to make this month's rent.World famous composer and concert pianist Georgios Andros has lost his music. Burned out, and feeling as though something is lacking in his life, Georgios decides it's time to "find" himself. Looking for a Mother's Day gift, he wanders into Chatter Box and is mesmerized by both shopkeeper and kaleidoscopes. Could this be exactly what he's been looking for?Janeen and Georgios are two very well-developed, realistic characters; she is portrayed as very stubborn, independent, and distrustful, shunning his every move to help. Georgios must accept the fact that money cannot buy everything -- especially love.The intricate details of creating a kaleidoscope are both intriguing and fascinating -- not a typical romance heroine's trade. The means by which Georgios composes his music are just as compelling, and the narrative sings without being bogged down in too much description.I recommend KALEIDOSCOPE as a sweet, tender and charming romance with endearing characters and an original storyline. Blanche Marriott is a delightful new voice in romantic fiction.
