Synopsis
Abby Reynolds is burned out.
Since clawing her way into a great position at a Boston museum, she’s been saddled with a scheming intern and a nagging boss. She’s scuttled her own painting dreams, her cat refuses to be box trained, and now the most boring man on the eastern seaboard just told her, “It’s not you, it’s me.”
Her bestie Sarah offers a much-needed escape: a summer of sand, sea, and younger men in Santa Cruz…
Hot young bike racer Jason is sexy, unattached, and completely ready to spend a summer in uncomplicated flirtation. Since Abby has decided love is off the table, he seems like the perfect match.
Then she meets Matt. Sculptor, surfer (and age appropriate), he’s everything she gave up wanting and then some. He’s a grown-ass man with his own life issues: does he want to sculpt for love or for profit? What about that twentysomething model who’s always clinging to him? Is he ready to let a woman invade his Fortress of Solitude?
Abby has to decide whether she’s satisfied with leaving behind the idea of Mr. Right and settling for Mr. Right Now.
Grown up love. It’s complicated.

My Review:
" I don't think he's taking girlfriend requests. And besides, are we talking about a man or a wildebeest? "
"Is there a difference? They're both rare and elusive."

One thing is for sure Art of Appreciation will make you laugh with all its crazy banter. I loved the characters, they are super fun. There is just enough angst and you want nothing more for them to get together. I love it. Markus did an amazing job at writing, I couldn't get enough.
Abby Reynolds is burned out. Lets be honest here, who isn't? I know I am. Well Abby is, and her bestie Sarah offers her an escape. Fun in the sun, what a perfect way to spend the summer than in Santa Cruz. Abby is set out to have some fun, and that includes having a fling with a very sexy guy. Relationships aren't in the cards for Abby.
She meets Jason. A bike racer who's unattached and ready for all that Abby has to offer. He seems like the perfect match! Is he though???
" Yes, it should. This is exactly how easy it should be, Abby. We're right. We just make it difficult."
Matt…where oh where do I even begin with Matt? I sure do love a successful man that knows what he wants. Matt is a sculptor, surfer, and totally in her age group. However Matt is everything Abby wanted to give up. Matt is a grown-ass man with his own life issues. Not to mention he has a young piece of ass that's always at his side.
Abby needs to decide if she's ready to give up Mr. Right for a Mr. Right now! It's truly a great story, and I highly recommend you pick it up to read.
I know your curious as to what Abby chooses.
I rate Art of Appreciation 4 out of 5 stars.
"C'mon Romeo. Haven't you learned yet that it's not nice to take advantage of sweet, drunken ladies?"
" Well, it's been over an hour, and I haven't attacked you and left your body in a ditch yet. Trust me to walk you back to the club?"
