Chandler Lexington is a world famous artist. He’s preparing for a new exhibit and is seeking a virgin to play his muse. Emma Jones, at 18 years old, fit the bill. She’s spirited away to a private tropical island to spend a week with the mysterious and eccentric Chandler. No hardship, seeing as how he’s incredibly hot and sexy. I enjoyed the unique journey the author took us on in developing the inspiration for the seven sins. It was a journey that also brought Emma to her own sexual awareness. However, because this story was told in Emma’s POV, I felt that the perspective given was limiting in that she lacked the emotional maturity to illustrate each situation clearly to me. Although this story was incredibly sexual in nature, it wasn’t incredibly intimate, but I think that was the author’s intention. This lack of intimacy made their final leap to full-fledged relationship unrealistic and I suffered a disconnect to their involvement, but I was consumed by every sensual scene that unfolded between them.
Se7en
was entertaining in its simplicity and I liked that it was a bit different from anything I’ve ever read before.

Pretty good quickie it’s a deadly sins theme!
This was good. The end wraps up too quickly and easily, and some things that seemed important weren’t really explained, but oh well. If you’re looking for a smutty read that feels a bit dark, with a seven deadly sins theme... this is it.

Holy shit! This book was so intense. This is the first book by Sky Corgan that I have read and I gotta say, damn! I couldn't put it down.
In this book Emma Jones is an aspiring artist. Her best friend talks her into applying to be a muse for one week to famous Artist Chandler Lexington. The rules 1) No Questions 2) Obey every command. 3) for seven days no contact with the outside world 4) Must be a Virgin.
Emma is so excited she is chosen. She passes all the requirements and tests. She flies off to a remote location to meet with Chandler. She can't get past how gorgeous he is. She is really nervous. As he goes over the rules one more time, telling her every move in the house is filmed and her nerves get worse. What did she sign up for? Her first task is to give her virginity to him. What!?
As the week goes on the tasks get weirder and she is losing a bit of herself along the way. She is tempted to just quit and not go on, but that means a new model will take her place. Can she quit? Will she survive?
This book was so intense. The characters are so extraordinary. Emma is strong yet so innocent vulnerable at the same time. Chandler is odd and eccentric. The things that go on are just wow! I don't really know how to describe it. I guess you could say the seven deadly sins put to test by the innocent. This book is intensely sexual and not to be read lightly. It will grab you and you won't be able to get free till it is done. A great read.

I received this BRILLIANT book for FREE TO GIVE MY TRUE &HONEST REVIEW
Oh my heck what a beautiful 💘 story with a HEA.
Sky Corgan has gone & done it again, she keeps getting better & better.
I loved the characters, young artist Emma who does her Manga style art electronically & world renown artist Chandler Lexington.
Here we see Emma win a prize to go to Chandler's place to become his muse BUT she HAD to have certain credentials.
And I tell you there were times I DID NOT LIKE the subdued Chandler & thought that Emma must've been either gullible or weak, but heck what would you choose leave & not have the paintings done of you or STAY & HAVE THE MOST 🔥 EXTREMELY HOT 🔥SEX EVER (though she wouldn't know as she didn't have anyone to compare it with, but I can tell you, I wouldn't have left 😳😘😘💥
Really Recommend Sky's latest HOT love 💘story

I got into it without reading the synopsis and that was my first mistake.
*Jeffrey Epstein alert!
A rich artist recruiting a young virgin to take her to his private island for a week and she has to do whatever he says and, according to the contract, can't say no to him.
Before the trip she has an assigned gynaecologist to do her pap smear for him?
Sounds familiar?
This shit is not sexy!
I was too disgusted to finish.

4.5 stars
This book intrigued the hell out of me when I was reading it. I was trying to see if I could figure out the end result. Just when I thought I had it figured out then something would change that. I both liked and hated that. There were many aspects of the story that were hotter than Hades and others that I still do not understand why they happened or if there was a purpose to it that I somehow missed (sleeping medicine).
Emma. I had mixed feelings about her. One moment I wanted to strangle her because of her naivete (I had to remind myself that she was young) but other times I liked her resilience as she was discovering a plethora of new feelings as well as a situation that she had never been in before. Never could I have lasted without asking a single question. Especially, because that meant trusting someone without having a clear idea of the what and why's.
Chandler. He was an enigma to me. I vacillated between loving him and wanting to punch him (again sleeping medicine...wth). I loved that he was both dominating as well as sweet.
All in all a great story and premise. The reasons that this story did not get a 5 star ranking is because of the lingering questions that I was left with. Had those been fleshed out more I would have easily given this a higher ranker. Especially, as I loved the premise. Goddess knows that we are all sinners and guilty of committing sins on numerous occasions.
I received and advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. I greatly appreciated this opportunity.

Chandler Lexington happens to be a very successful but eccentric Billionaire artist who has chosen Emma as his next Muse. The contact has the usual non-disclosure clause in it but some of the other stipulations include that Emma is not allowed to ask questions and she must follow all of Chandler's commands unconditionally and she must be a Virgin. Those facts may make you believe this will be a typical Virgin and Billionaire book but you will most definitely be wrong. This book has many twists and turns that will keep you guessing about the true story but it is worth reading to the end and you will not be disappointed.

I LOVE this book! Sky takes her readers to another romance in this one. Emma and Chandler are not supposed to fall in love. This is for art and art alone. Chandler puts Emma through a hell of a lot in this book. But man I could not put this book down. This is a wonderful read and I was happy to read it for my honest review.

Not sure how I feel about this book; especially in light of what has been happening in the "real world". Here we have a powerful man...he is rich & he is famous. He has contest & the winner will spend 7 days with him & be the backdrop of his new works of art. His rules are that she must be between the ages of 18 & 23 - & a virgin. Enter an 18 year old manga artist who has never had a steady relationship or a boyfriend type relationship of any kind. The rules also state that she must do everything he asks - without question - or he will ship her home & find someone who will.
The premise of the 7 deadly sins sounded good - but the first thing he does is to take her virginity & talk downright dirty to her. You kind of figured that but it doesn't really go into the painting at all until the very end of the book. He degrades her & she seems to like it. Of course she falls in love with him & he falls in love with her BUT mostly this was a sex book & it just seemed to underscore what a rich man could get by with.
The ending when you finally got to read about the paintings themselves was good & I liked that he had highlighted her manga art & that he asked her to marry him.
Like I said, I am just not sure that I liked it because of all the sex with someone who was so inexperienced & vulnerable. The headlines are full of Me Too now. She was 18. Never said how old he was but he had a wife at one time & a son that he lost. He also forced her to do some things she was not comfortable with.
Some of the sex scenes seemed somewhat unrealistic.

This is an excellent story and one I enjoyed reading immensely. The narrative is very intriguing and the sensual parts tastefully written. Throughout the week, Emma experiences emotional turmoil because of her feelings towards Chandler. Chandler, meanwhile, discovers two things during his exploration that he didn’t expect. This is definitely a book I would have no hesitation in recommending.
Emma hadn’t been serious when she submitted her application, so never expected to be selected for this once in a lifetime opportunity; an entire week alone with the world renowned artist Chandler Lexington. Emma doesn’t believe she is attractive enough to be a model of any sort; she too wants to be an artist, but her field is manga. Nevertheless Emma fits the criteria. Chandler has gone to great lengths to build a custom house in the middle of nowhere for the setting; he is trying to capture the sort of innocence only a chaste girl can provide and is well-known for capturing human emotions in his paintings. One girl, one week, no questions asked and absolute obedience; at the first sign of resistance Chandler will start the project over with a different model. It has been made clear that Emma is replaceable and while she is his first choice there are others waiting in line should she fail. Chandler wants the exhibit to be uninfluenced by the outside world and all its distractions. Throughout the week Chandler will be exposing Emma to a variety of experiences; all were going to be very intimate in nature and some will be intense. Chandler wants to create seven specific pieces for his exhibit and he is hoping Emma will help him capture the essence of what he is trying to accomplish. Emma signed her life away in the contract; anything he wants, that is what he gets. If Chandler wants some meek, shy thing, he has picked the wrong girl for his exhibit as Emma wants this week to be memorable for Chandler too. As the various scenes play out, Emma realises the more they are together the more convoluted her emotions become; the extreme feeling of loneliness at certain times doesn’t help either. When it is clear one of the scenes is going to be really intense, Chandler gives Emma the chance to back-out. Emma notices that for the first time ever that Chandler looks nervous, but she trusts him and hopes she has made the right decision; she intends to show him what she is made of. There is one scene that leaves Emma feeling a mix of rage and jealousy and her first instinct is to flee; to go home and forget everything that has happened. But Emma decides she is too close to the end of the project to leave now; she has to be the bigger person and see this through to the end. Chandler inspires Emma in so many ways; if she cannot say the words, then at least she can show him with her actions. When it comes to the final scene Chandler is acting differently; there is something about this room that bothers him. Emma has to make a choice; three minutes to decide something that will ultimately change her life forever. Will it be the right one? A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Wow! Sky Corgan's Se7en is a romantic study in goosebumps from start to finish! Chandler Lexington is a world-renowned artist who is known for capturing human emotion. Emma Jones is a recent high school graduate and is an artist just beginning her career. She draws Manga which are adult comics in Japanese style. Chandler is having a contest for a muse who will live one week alone with him on his secluded island. She will be the subject of his next art project. There's one immediate requirement, she must be a virgin between 18 and 21. Emma wins the contest and flies out to the island to experience a week as a muse. She and Chandler have an instant connection with a sizzle when they touch. They talk about the requirements he has for her and he gives her a contract to read and sign. His demands are seven days of absolute obedience, no contact with the outside world, she can't say no to any of his requests no matter how personal and she can't take legal action against him no matter what he does. Feeling just a slight amount of trepidation, she signs it so she can see how he works. Se7en is an ingenious title for this book. Seven days, seven deadly sins. Sky's imagination flows with the sensual, maddening, passionate and heartfelt experiences of the next 7 days. Emma is exceptionally emotional (with hopes of Chandler's love) as she gets closer to him. He is rather mysterious with his hot and cold behavior as he continues to maneuver her into position for his next painting. I kept trying to figure out just what he was trying to accomplish with each experience they had or what he put her through. At the end of 7 days, Emma has to choose between the contest money or love. She chooses love but there is a shocking surprise waiting for her. It's a perfect ending! Everything comes together and makes sense! Sky Corgan has outdone herself!
The narration, by Kassiopia DeVora, is beautifully done with her dynamic voice giving life to both Chandler and Emma.

I volunteered to read this story. It's crazy hot. Emma Jones is just a fresh out of high school, innocent girl trying to figure out what she wants to do with life. She knows she loves art and is drawn to a contest where if she wins she will be the muse for world famous artist Chandler Lexington. She meets all criteria of being innocent and is selected to spend a whole week alone with him. It doesn't hurt he is smoking hot. There are several rules she has to abide by including not asking questions and doing what ever he wants her to do. This could be a little crazy right. After traveling to "God knows where" via a plane, car, helicopter and then a hike, she is ready to be there and see where she is at. Chandler had a house custom built and is surprised by all of the locked doors she encounters while touring the house. Emma has no clue what to expect, how will he paint her, what kind of back ground he will use. She soon discovers she is cut off from the rest of the world, no phone, no internet and no TV, even though there is a large TV in her room. The chemistry between them is crazy. Every time he touches her, she feels a zap of something. After experiencing several different sexual encounters with Chandler, from her 1st time to watching them via mirrors to candy covered even to feeling jealous over a video. She is trying to figure out what is going on. She knows he is watching her but can't stop her actions. She has to wait until his opening to view his project. So she has no clue what to expect.
Loved the chemistry and the up and down roller coaster of feelings that Emma is going through as the story develops.

Emma signs up for this contest to be a famous Artist Muse although she really didnt want to as her best friend forced her hand, but since she won she decided to follow through. After much traveling to who knows where she gets her first glimpse of the Island and the Man and she is instantly attracted to him. For seven days Chandler will put her through different scenes that will break her out of her comfort zone but she isnt willing to give up she wants to see this all the way through. There is one rule No Questions, and that is all Emma has but with out answers!
What I enjoyed most about Se7en is watching Emma going through all these new feelings and emotions with Chandler plus his plans for her. She had no idea coming to this place would change her so much but she found herself falling in love with him but afraid to tell him how she truly felt as he made his wants very clear and that for seven days only so she decides to better to have love and lost then to not have had these experiences with him at all even while it is breaking her heart in two.
This book is great, This story has Emma an artist that is still starting out and when she wins this contest she figures her being a Muse for a Famous Artist might help her in the long run with her art, she never figured she would fall in love with Chandler during all the different days they spend together, Chandler is hard to read and she can not figure him out at times he is affectionate and the next he can be so cold towards her, a love story! If you like stories like this, then Se7en is a must!

OMG! This book was so intense. I completely loved the story Ms. Corgan crafted.
We meet Emma Jones, who is an aspiring artist. Her best friend talks her into applying to be a muse for one week to famous Artist Chandler Lexington. A few rules 1) No Questions 2) Obey every command 3) No contact with the outside world 4) Must be a Virgin. Emma ends up on a remote island where Chandler is going to create his masterpiece. Will she be able to make it through his week long process?
This book was so intense. I’m not sure how to explain it without running it. Emma is unsure of what Chandler is doing, but she wants to see it through to the end. She begins to have feelings for him, but he is so odd that she doesn’t know what to do about her feelings. This was an addicting story and I could not put it down. This is a highly Erotic journey and the plot is good. It is a bit choppy in a way since they are creating individual scenes with gaps in between. Overall I loved it, although the ending was a tad rushed. I would have liked to read about Chandlers POV…even if it was only in epilogue format.

Sky Corgan blew me away with Se7en! This book was full of intense suspense that surprised me repeatedly. A lot of books today are so predictable..I can usually guess what happens next..and how the ending will turn out! Not with Se7en! Corgan did such an amazing job sucking me in and surprising me in every chapter! My heart definitely skipped a few beats! I was completely consumed by this read and loved the originality of the story!
Emma is a young, newbie artist that decides to apply for a chance to be a "muse" for a well know artist whom she adores! Little did she know..this adventure may be just that! I guess she should have known when one of the stipulations of being picked was to sign a consent form waiving her rights..anything that was asked of her..she had to do..no questions asked! But how many opportunities like this was going to land in her lap? So..adventure it is!
Chandler is a super sexy, well known artist with the very mysterious vibe! He has a particular theme for his upcoming art exhibit in mind..and needs Emma to help him paint his vivid pictures through experience!
Their time together is emotion packed to say the least!
I absolutely recommend that you check this one out! Se7en is the kind of book that I would easily re-read! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book!

Honestly, this book would have been a solid 4 stars if the plot/character development made any sense.
SPOILER WARNING — SPOILERS AHEAD
The sex scenes in this book were great, but there was just very little character substance to back it up. Which is unfortunate, because there was plenty of “meat” there to work with. I just can’t stand books that rush things by dropping in character development like the main female protagonist suddenly “being in love” after 3 days or less, and EVEN WORSE, having the main male protagonist declare his feelings of love/desire to be with her when NONE OF THE EVENTS leading up to this “revelation” showed any sign that he even felt that way. There was something just...I don’t know...lazy about the writing. The ending felt rushed and weird, and I think it’s because the male protagonist really didn’t show hardly any signs that he was feeling more for his muse/art experiment prior to his strange “ultimatum” to choose him or the money.
Overall, I’d say many parts of this book was enjoyable, but in the end you have to deal with the abrupt finale that feels kind of wrong/rushed. This story could have benefited greatly from some additional editing and “fleshing out” of its characters.
So it’s a mediocre mixed bag. You’ll like it, but by the end you’ll find yourself saying “.....WTF? That’s it?”
SPOILER WARNING — SPOILERS AHEAD
The sex scenes in this book were great, but there was just very little character substance to back it up. Which is unfortunate, because there was plenty of “meat” there to work with. I just can’t stand books that rush things by dropping in character development like the main female protagonist suddenly “being in love” after 3 days or less, and EVEN WORSE, having the main male protagonist declare his feelings of love/desire to be with her when NONE OF THE EVENTS leading up to this “revelation” showed any sign that he even felt that way. There was something just...I don’t know...lazy about the writing. The ending felt rushed and weird, and I think it’s because the male protagonist really didn’t show hardly any signs that he was feeling more for his muse/art experiment prior to his strange “ultimatum” to choose him or the money.

Se7en by Sky Corgan was a great book. I was able to read this book without putting it down and found that I quite enjoyed the concept of the story! Emma Jones is just your average girl who is selected to be the muse for renown artist Chandler Lexington's next exhibit. This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Emma. The criteria was quite strict, she had to be a young virgin willing to follow all Chandler asks for without question. After traveling to an unknown location, Emma begins to question her expectations of the week she will spend as Chandlers muse.
I loved the this book. I was interested in reading it just based on concept of including the Seven Deadly Sins: Pride, Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy and Lust. Sky absolutely put a new spin on these sins, however, I can not go into detail without ruining key aspects of the book. Really, I wanted to give this book a five star rating because it was very entertaining. However, it ended rather abruptly and while I enjoyed Emma and Chandler, I do wish there had been more character development. The book kept me entertained from start to finish and I would highly recommend it.

This book is about a young woman named Emma. She entered a contest to become the muse of a famous painter named Chandler. The requirements for being his muse, ask no questions and be completely obedient and be a virgin. Emma doesn't care about the requirements she just wants to be close to Chandler and be a part of his art but when he requires more and more intense things of her she wonders if this had been the right decision after all until their final day together. He gives her a choice that will change her life forever.
This book was intense! It's the first book I've read from Sky Corgan and I'll definitely be reading more of her books. The things that Chandler made Emma do where crazy, and I was surprised that Emma was willing to do them even though she was a virgin. She went from 0 to 360 when it came to sex but the scenes were hot. I though Chandler was a psycho he was so up and down and quiet. But he did turn out to be a good guy and when he agree to be her boyfriend I was like "wow that's cool" but I was toatlly surprised by the proposal at the exhibit. This was a good book definitely has a dark feel to it but with a HEA.

This is mastery of the genre. Only a confident writer or a fool would attempt the subject of the Seven Deadly Sins: it can be pretty fatal for the author. Not so for Sky Corgan, an artist who took this theme and subjected it to her will. As one would imagine with such a topic, the emotional highs and lows are intense and frequent. They are also quite stunning. It seems nearly every emotion is drawn from the reader in the course of this work as you race page after page, spellbound, to an unknowable conclusion.
The passion between Chandler and Emma is breathtakingly sweet and still smokin’ hot. Their characters are richly developed and endearing. The plot is intense and exquisitely done, with the single POV adding a delicious touch of confusion, mystery, and even innocence to the story.
Taken as a whole, this is the kind of story that steamrolls over you, sticks with you, and makes you want to go back and read it again.
It’s easy to find beauty in the lovely. It takes an artist to help us see beauty in the dreadful.

I found the idea behind the story really interesting, the contract wouldn't be legal, but it is an interesting idea.
The story alternates between hot and disturbing, the sex us hot, how Chandler treated Emma outside of sex was cold, and I couldn't help thinking that Emma is suffering from Stockholm syndrome.
I think that this is a story where you have to suspend judgement and just listen to as an erotic story, if you do that then it's quite enjoyable.
I have man unanswered questions, what was she given to 'help her sleep' and were they dreams or reality?
The character voices were well done and the pace and tone of the narration worked well with the shifting dynamics of the various scenes.

Wow. Sky Corgan has done it again. She is a genius at writing dark romance, and this one is one of the best. Emma doesn't quite know what she's getting into as Chandler's muse, but her inner strength helps her maintain her sense of self as they go through their experiences together. Chandler is deliciously dominant but has a sweet and tender side as well. This is an intense, fascinating character study and an exhilarating love story at the same time. The author warns that it's one of the most erotic books she's written, and it certainly lives up to that - but in all the best ways. This is an amazing book to read, one that will leave you with a book hangover and plenty of new ideas. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Sky Corgan has once again blown me away with her amazing writing. Se7en is a deliciously erotic love story. When Emma wins a position as a muse for artist Chandler she doesn't quite realize what she has signed up for. Seven days with the world reknown artist, no questions asked. Together they experience the most sensual moments Emma has ever had. Chandler was deliciously dominant yet had a tender, loving side that he hides behind his aloofness. I loved the moments when Emma would challenge him and catch him by surprise. Will their experience end at the end of the week or could their time together lead to more? This is an amazingly delicious read that will keep you enthralled until the end. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Emma wins a one week modeling job with world-renowned painter, Chandler Lexington. But this is not a regular modeling job. Emma is a virgin and she is, unknowingly, introduced to the seven deadly sins through Chandler's sexual manipulations. But this turns into more than a job for Emma and Chandler. But will Chandler have a chance of keeping Emma after she sees the exhibit? Was everything that happened between them just for the exhibit?
Read the book to find out. It was really good but it is sexually intense. At times, I really wanted to knock Chandler upside the head with something because of his actions. Read the book and you'll understand. I'm voluntarily reviewing for an ARC of this book.

I have to be honest, I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about this book. Emma earned a chance to be a muse for famous artist, Chandler. This book is full of sex, and like others have stated just when you thought you had it figured out, Chandler would throw you for a loop. Throughout most of the book I wasn't sure what to think about Chandler, and was pleasantly surprised by how he redeemed himself at the end of the book. This was my first time reading Sky and I have to say the writing in this book is superb and look forward to reading more from her. I received an arc 9f this book and am voluntarily reviewing.
