Blurb: When successful fashion model Fabio Bonardi discovers his first wrinkle, he knows it’s time to move on to Plan B. He is tired of the loneliness and drama of the modeling world, so he enlists shy financial advisor, Edwin Zachary, to help him start a business. Edwin is the first man who sees something beyond a pretty face in Fabio, and the connection between them is immediate and surprisingly deep. But insecurity, fear of rejection, and the fact that they live on opposite sides of the country make pursuing a relationship challenging. Before they can figure out the details, a mysterious stalker tries to drive them apart. Then Fabio disappears after a photo shoot, and both men face an unexpected battle for the lasting relationship they both so desperately want.
Review: I have read four or five books in this series now, and I think they all kind of follow the same basic pattern; although, I will say that I did like the guys in this one a little more than some of the others.
I’ll be honest, there are quite a few things that I don’t think were really believable in this book, or seemed a little farfetched to me, but I find that the more I’m enjoying a story, and find myself cheering for the guys, the more I’m able to let the not so believable stuff pass. As with all the other books in this series (or at least the ones I’ve read so far), The Model is a cute, sexy, and quick read. Each of the books are complete standalones, so you can just breeze through them in any order when you’re looking for a good book and have an extra few hours to read.
These guys are super sweet, and I enjoyed watching them get their happily-ever-after. I’m looking forward to getting to the rest of the Workplace Encounters books.
