          Gastien Part 1: The Cost of the Dream

In this first book of the Gastien series, young Gastien Beauchamp
begins his journey from the farm to Paris with two goals in life. The first is to become an artist with his own studio, following his own rules. That is an almost impossible dream for a peasant with no money or formal training. Paris spits out talented men into the gutters every day. “Good” gets you nowhere. “Great”maybe gets you a bowl of soup.

The second is to become the greatest lover in France. That should
be easy. With his stunning looks and willingness to learn, the women of Paris are about to be awakened in a way they have only dreamt about in the nineteenth century!

Gastien also has focus, drive, and raw, natural talent. With the
dream burning inside of him, he is determined to succeed at any cost. Poor Gastien. If he could only know in advance what brutal struggles await him, he might turn around and go back home.

Sometimes the “impossible” is possible. But the cost can be
extremely high.

Editorial Reviews:

"Full of emotion...hard to put this book down."
-Crystal Trent Dotson  of crystaltrentdotsonreviews.blogspot.com

"Unbelievably amazing read!  This book quite literally took me for a ride. A very impassioned ride on a  rather large roller coaster of emotions...I have never felt so much emotion from  reading one single book before."
- Chrstina Irelan, Intoxicatedbybooks blog.

" I was absorbed into this book from the very first chapter, loving and feeling along with the characters. It is a testament to the author that the storyline flows so well, with well placed and in depth sex scenes that are not for the faint hearted."
-Jennie Bookaholics blog.

"...a very dark and emotional masterpiece...many writers struggle
  with conveying emotional complexity, but Caddy Rowland draws you in with it...I laughed, I cried...you will not want to put this book down."
-Misty Rayburn, The-Top-Shelf website

"..had no idea it would be so emotionally profound. Caddy packs no punches for politcal correctness in this book...the question of what you would do to achieve your dreams. If you are a reader willing to push beyond your boundaries, I would strongly recommend getting this book."
-Beccie Weaver, Bookies facebook booklovers site.


"...The pacing and structure are perfectly judged and help to develop
  Gastien's story. What really makes this a cut above many other historical
dramas  is the emotional complexity of Gastien, which creates a great deal of empathy.  He feels - and this is quite rare in historical fiction - like a real 
person.

        Gastien Part 2: From Dream to Destiny

“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.”

Editorial Reviews:

"...the amazing story of Gastien...even more captivated by Gastien and all the
  other characters in this book than I was in the first...so engrossed in everything going on that I read the whole book in a day, laughing, crying and feeling compassion for all of the characters especially Gastienhimself...experienced every emotion there was and I was emotionally drained by the end, but emotionally drained in a good way." Jenny, Bookaholics blog


"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 that she writes. Caddy is master of the roller coaster of emotions. It will have you crying one minute and  laughing out loud the next." Christina Irelan, Intoxicated By Books


"Sophie and Gastien have entered the realm of epic romance couples. They prove that true love is unexpected, unconditional, passionate, and flawed."
  Beccie Weaver, Bookies Book Reviews

"...be prepared for the parade of emotions you are going to feel with Gastien and his choices. There is definite happiness, a touch of romance, a splash and a rub of lust, and there is sorrow...a gritty and raw look at the life of a young man who has convictions and sticks to them no matter the cost." -Liz, Fictional Candy
