Cat’s Review of Love Arts and Other Obstacles (Book Nirvana book 3) by Sadira Stone @ WildRosePress @SadiraStone @TTCBooksandmore

Rejected by her family for her bisexuality, graphic artist Margot DuPont yearns for a life with no fences, no limits, and no family ties. Between college, work at Book Nirvana, and an art competition, she barely has time for her part-time girlfriend much less a flirtation with her competitor.

Dumped into the foster system at a young age, ceramics artist Elmer Byrne craves a big, loving family of the heart. His artist family almost fills that need, but something is missing…until Margot. But when he offers his heart, her thorny defenses shatter him.

Thrown together in an art competition that could jump-start one artist’s career, but not both, their irresistible attraction forces them to reconsider the meaning of success.


Cat gives this one 5 Meows with a 4 Purr heat index...

This is my first Sadira Stone book but won't be my last. I was gripped and couldn’t stop reading.  This is book three in the series but stands alone just fine, though if you want to meet Clair, Laurel and a few others reading the first two books would help. I wasn’t lost at all and the story was great.

Margot Is bisexual and seeing a friend Darcy that lives in Berkely. They only get to see each other on occasion and have an open relationship though Margot stays so busy she hasn’t been seeing anyone else. She is trying to get her foot in the door as a graphic designer, finish school, and work to pay bills. She works in Clair’s bookstore and Laurel her friend suggests she volunteer at the Rainbow center a place for artistic children with special needs. She meets Elmer a sexy, hunky ginger bearded man with a big heart. Sparks fly but they are both competing for a big prize in an art contest.

At first, I got a little confused with Margot and Darcy in a relationship and we got quite a bit of explicit detail. But then I met Elmer and fell in love. I loved the characters…all of them. They are so quirky, well-developed and relatable. The storyline is intriguing, there are a couple of subplots and the romantic love triangle is amazing (nope no ménage or threesome).

This is way up there on one of the best stories I have read this year so far and I plan to go back and read the other two books in this series soon. Oh, did I mention cute kids?


Ever since her first kiss, Sadira’s been spinning steamy tales in her head. But it wasn’t until her 50s that she tried her hand at writing one. Now she’s a happy citizen of Romancelandia, penning contemporary romance and cozy mysteries from her home in Washington State. When not writing, which is seldom, she explores the Pacific Northwest with her charming husband, enjoys the local music scene, plays guitar badly, and gobbles all the books.
