Synopsis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

From the New York Times Bestselling Author that brought you The Resistance comes this sexy romantic comedy standalone.<\/p>\n

Everything you\u2019ve heard about modeling is true, and you haven\u2019t heard the half of it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s glamorous.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s sexy.<\/p>\n

And yes, the line between work and reality often blurs.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not just prototypes of perfection. Models have feelings and desires, too. We may be genetically gifted, but we\u2019re still human.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m only human. Yes, an extraordinary specimen that earns more in a day than most make in a year, but this eight pack didn\u2019t create itself. I spend hours working on this body. The good looks just come natural. *Winks*.\u00a0 Thanks, Mom and Dad.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Danny Weston, Supermodel.<\/p>\n

But one path was traded for another when I chose this career. Ten years later, I would trade my career to have it back. To have her back.<\/p>\n

Reese Carmichael is the one woman I would give it all up for, and the only one I can\u2019t have. Yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo beginning. No end. Only one. Us together\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4 swoony second-chance stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a really sweet read (previously published as \u2018Models On Top \u2013 Danny<\/i>\u2019). A gorgeous story of first loves reunited and fighting for their second chance at a happily ever after.<\/p>\n

Danny Weston is a male model who is at the top of his game. He has looks, wealth and celebrity and any woman he could possibly want in his bed. But his seemingly perfect life is shaken up when the marketing manager of his new fashion account is none other than his college sweetheart, first love, and the one that got away.<\/p>\n

Reese Carmichael is smart, successful and driven. She knew that suggesting Danny for her latest account would bring back the past that she\u2019s tried so hard to move on from, but she knew that the<\/i> Danny Weston would be perfect for the job \u2013 plus she couldn\u2019t resist the chance to see him again.<\/p>\n

Sparks fly from the moment Danny and Reese are reunited. Their attraction very clearly still sizzles, and though it\u2019s been ten years since they last saw each other, neither of them have truly moved on from what they once had. But there is a lot of hurt and unanswered questions from their time together and the end of their relationship, and the fact that they work together makes it forbidden for them to get too close.<\/p>\n

Danny sees his opportunity to finally get the answers he\u2019s always wanted, and very quickly realizes that this job is the second chance he\u2019s always wanted to get Reese back, and his persistent pursuit of Reese is flirtatious and gorgeously romantic. Reese is resistant, knowing that getting involved with Danny could mean the end of her career she\u2019s worked so hard for, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist, and all of those feelings from the past come rushing back as they begin to appreciate just how much a part of each other they still are.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll always be home to me. No matter where we are in life, we will always find our way back to each other.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is such a swoony love story. Danny and Reese\u2019s connection is soul-deep, and that is made clear over and over again. They\u2019ve never stopped loving each other, and that connection is evident in the passion that they still share, and with their seriously swoony and heartfelt declarations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not the one time kind of love, baby.\u201d
\nShe kisses me, then runs her fingertip over my lips. \u201cWhat kind of love are we?\u201d
\n\u201cWe\u2019re the insatiable kind, the kind that stays long after the other is gone, the kind you can deny, but you can never stop feeling. Not ever.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story of Danny and Reese\u2019s past is told with flashbacks to their time together, building up to the moment that it all fell apart for them. Part of me was disappointed at the way it all happened, but another part of me was happy that the author didn\u2019t over-dramatise it with some big \u2018event\u2019. It was realistic, and understandable given their ages and situation, and though they never really addressed it once they reunited, it allowed for them to easily come back together when they were ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery night is a new opportunity, every day, a second chance to make things right.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is some drama, and the forbidden element to their relationship adds a nice touch, and I thought it was all handled well, again without becoming over the top, but showing us how much the characters have grown and just how much they want to be together.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the missing piece of my soul. He’ll be forever in my heart. He’s forever mine. And I his.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I listened to this as an audiobook, and unusually it was dually narrated. Not just the male narrator reading Danny\u2019s POV and the female reading Reese\u2019s, but all conversations were narrated dually, with the male and female narrators speaking the actual dialogue of the characters. This was a first for me, and I admit I found it difficult to get used to. I thought it made the reading a bit choppy. It\u2019s definitely not my favourite way for an audiobook to be narrated, but I thought the narrators did a good job bringing the story to life, and it didn\u2019t diminish my feelings for the story.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this book. The setting was interesting, the characters are likable, and I loved their story. There\u2019s a good bunch of side-characters that connect to other books by this author, but this can absolutely be read as a standalone.<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cGOD, I WANT you, Danny,\u201d Simone whispers into my ear. She licks just below it before sliding
\ndown over my jaw and biting me.
\nMy hold tightens around her hips, steadying her. I should have seen the bite coming.
\nThey all do it, assuming they have to do something extreme to be sexy, to get my attention. Like
\nevery other time it happens, I pull back and run my fingers into her hair at the nape of her neck,
\nthen tighten my grip.
\nShe gasps and digs her nails into my shoulders while the innocence she\u2019s trying to
\nportray in her eyes fails under the skepticism found in mine. Our bodies are pressed together
\nand heated, the fan not strong enough to cool us down.
\nTilting her head back, I kiss the divot at the bottom of her neck, then lick from base to
\nchin, taking my sweet time. Simone\u2019s back arches, pushing her breasts against my chest and
\nshe moans in pleasure.
\n\u201cThat is so hot. Keep it up,\u201d a voice intrudes.
\nSimone sighs, irritated, and pulls away. I turn to the photographer\u2019s assistant standing at
\nthe edge of the set just as Simone reveals her frustration by leaning back and swinging her leg
\nover me to stand up. Leisurely, my gaze slides up her lean legs. She\u2019s taller than most women
\nand the heels she\u2019s wearing add another good five inches. Appreciating her physique, I smile
\nand recline back with my hands behind my head while watching her adjust the strings at her
\nhips. Her head snaps up and her eyes narrow on the assistant off set. \u201cIf you want us to keep it
\nup, then shut up next time.\u201d She storms off, her shoes clacking loudly against the gray cement
\nfloor.
\nKnowing an angry model needs time, I sit up, and ask, \u201cHow much time do we have?\u201d
\nEveryone is well aware that the mood has changed on the set. Worry creases the
\nassistant\u2019s brow when he answers, \u201cI think, umm\u2026 five or ten minutes.\u201d
\nThe guy\u2019s anxiety rolls like waves crashing around me. Feeling bad for him, I reassure,
\n\u201cDon\u2019t worry about her. She\u2019ll be fine. Just give her a few minutes to cool down.\u201d
\n\u201cThanks.\u201d He smiles though it\u2019s weak. \u201cAre you doing all right?\u201d
\nI smile genuinely while standing up. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m good. Thanks.\u201d When I start to walk, the
\nknit boxer briefs I\u2019m wearing for the shoot tighten uncomfortably, so I stop to adjust. They\u2019re a
\nsize too small, so I grab my cock and shift. \u201cActually, I could use a larger size. These are cutting
\noff my blood circulation down here.\u201d
\nBefore the assistant can respond, two women suddenly appear from the darkened side
\nof the large loft. A cute, petite blonde offers, \u201cLet me take a look. Maybe I can help.\u201d She\u2019s bold,
\nnot shy like I would have guessed from the librarian look she\u2019s chosen.
\nThe other lady\u2014taller with some gray strands running through her dark hair\u2014seems
\nnew to the modeling world. She stands there staring below my waist, and by the way she\u2019s
\nogling me, I\u2019m guessing she might be new to naked men in general. Maybe she\u2019s never worked
\non an underwear campaign before. She clears her throat and finds her voice. \u201cThey fit around
\nthe waist so I can add more material, if you\u2019d like? But I\u2019ll need them to do that.\u201d
\nBypassing the first offer, I accept the second. This is my job. I\u2019m a pro, a model, and
\nused to being naked in front of strangers, so I drop my drawers. I bend down to get them, and
\nwhen I stand back up I\u2019m greeted with two mouths hanging wide open. \u201cLadies, you\u2019re gonna
\nmake me feel shy,\u201d I tease. I\u2019m not shy at all.
\nLifting their chins until both their mouths are closed, I chuckle as they continue to stare
\nunabashedly. The taller woman says, \u201cOh you have nothing to be shy about.\u201d
\n\u201cAbsolutely nothing,\u201d the blonde adds insistently.
\n\u201cThanks,\u201d I reply, my voice it\u2019s usual charm. I hand the boxers to the lady and walk off
\nset to grab my robe. When I slip it on, Becs from wardrobe approaches and says, \u201cI can add
\nsome room in there for you. I\u2019ll have them back in ten minutes.\u201d
\n\u201cI already gave them to the seamstress.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat seamstress?\u201d she asks.
\n\u201cThe one over there.\u201d When I turn to the set, they\u2019ve vanished. Scanning the loft from
\none side to the other, the two women are nowhere to be found. \u201cShe was just here with a blonde
\nlady.\u201d Perplexed I scan again. \u201cI have no idea where they went.\u201d
\nBecs rolls her eyes, shakes her head, and sighs loudly. \u201cGood grief. Not again.\u201d Turning
\non her heels, she yells out, \u201cSecurity. We\u2019ve had another breach.\u201d With her eyes narrowed on
\nmy waist, she adds, \u201cTighten the belt. You don\u2019t want anyone selling a photo of your frank \u2018n
\nbeans to the highest bidder.\u201d Her mood lightening, she smiles and shrugs. \u201cOr maybe you do. I\u2019ll
\nget your next wardrobe change\u2014\u201d
\nI laugh but point to my privates. \u201cExtra roomy.\u201d Becs waves her hand in the air while
\nwalking off.
\n\u201cYeah. Yeah. I got it.\u201d<\/p>\n
