What Reviewers Are Saying...
4 roses... "Painting Penelope is a sensual stimulating story! Lyndi Lamont has created a pure pleasure to read. The chemistry between Logan and Penelope is purely exotic! Lyndi had me longing to be painted by a handsome Irish Bloke. This is one I will recommend to anyone." - Deb, Sensual Reads
"I enjoyed Painting Penelope by Lyndi Lamont; it packs a lot of heat in its pages. It is Pygmalion with a sexual twist. The author keeps the sexual tension high throughout the story. Painting Penelope is the perfect length for a quick read before bedtime, but it will leave you wanting something more than sleep, so be prepared!" - Delia,

"This is an outstanding short story. Though brief, it’s packed with emotion. The writing style is excellent, and the story flows smoothly. Penny and Logan are strong, likable characters. Their romance is extremely sensual. It’s a quick read that’s very satisfying."-Renee Burnette, theromancestudio.com
"PAINTING PENELOPE is a tender story of sexual awakening between a soldier and the woman that he has won the honor of painting. Penelope has given up on finding love after the death of her fiancé, and Logan is just the man to awaken her dormant sexuality. He teaches her about sexual pleasure and she teaches him, about love."

"A touching romantic story, PAINTING PENELOPE is the perfect book to satisfy any romance lover. The growing relationship that Penny and Logan encounter is not only funny, but frustrating at times.

5 Angels from Fallen Angel Reviews!
"Painting Penelope is a true historical romance with a very erotic premise. Lyndi Lamont develops her story very well in just a few pages. This is quite simply one of the best short stories - of any kind - I have ever read. The reader is given enough insight into both Penelope and Logan so that the reader can understand their actions. The love scenes flow naturally into the story. That's not to say you might miss them. They are very noteworthy - sweet and tender one minute, passionate the next... Painting Penelope is not to be missed - a keeper!!"
