Summary:

“He thought I was his muse. Turned out, he was mine too.”

Maggie Stevens is done feeling objectified.

After spending her entire life in the spotlight and climbing the high fashion ranks as a model in LA, she’s willing to leave it all behind for a fresh start. Moving to Seattle seems like the perfect solution.

A clean slate.
New adventures.
Endless opportunities.

All is going according to plan. Until she meets the drop-dead gorgeous cooking instructor who delights in adding to her misery.

Desmond Blake is determined to make a name for his culinary school—one that speaks to his hard work and undeniable passion.

When his food photography hobby garners attention from an unexpected source, his dreams are finally within reach. The obstacle he never sees coming is the sharp-tongued bombshell with a distaste for all he stands for.

When Desmond accidentally captures a photo of Maggie during a moment of weakness, he starts to see there’s more to the fashionista than meets the eye…

Sometimes what can be seen through the lens is a skewed version of reality. A bent perspective. Manufactured, therefore losing all sense of authenticity. And sometimes all it takes is a different angle to see what’s right in front of you.

My Thoughts:

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have to say that I was able to read this book in one sitting because I was just so into it that I didn’t want to put it down.

Maggie and Desmond are completely different yet completely the same. If you have been following my reviews for a while, then you know that I ABSOLUTLY love enemas to lovers’ books. There’s just something about them that makes me love them.

This was a slow burn that just made it even more amazing for me. Maggie and Desmond must work together and reading their story of how they came together was just something that was completely realistic to me, it was so beautiful to read. They also have some pretty steamy moments together.

I just loved this book. It was an emotional, slow burn, funny romance book that I just couldn’t get enough of. I’m defiantly going to have to look into K.K. Allen’s other books.
