A story of heart-stopping, toe-curling passion by the beloved bestselling author of Hard to Love, Resisting Her, and The Impact of You.
Straight-laced and well-mannered southerner Emmy Clarke is out of her depth in New York City’s fashion world, but when she lands a job as an assistant at a modeling agency it seems like the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Working under the notoriously tyrannical Fiona Stone is a nightmare, but there’s one distinct perk: ogling the ridiculously hot male models who parade through the office—particularly rising star Ben Shaw.
Ben is everything Emmy’s not: exquisitely gorgeous, highly paid, and well-traveled. He’s also got more issues than Vogue. Emmy looks after Ben on photo shoots, but she refuses to become another one of his lusting groupies. Ben finds Emmy’s refreshingly real attitude to be surprisingly attractive.
Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world, casual flirting turns into an illicit affair, but when Ben’s twisted past is revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their careers and hearts are threatened.
This book if you asked around, I'm sure would be illegal in a few states or countries. Why you might be wondering, well because its just toooooooooo deliciously hot to be legal. This is not the book you grab for your book club meetings, no señor. If you are a closet fan (no one should be ashamed of what they love to read) of Fifty Shades or Beautiful Bastard style series, then this one will keep you even further placed inside that closet. For those like me that let everyone know what we do like, get ready to shout it out when you are thru with Working It how awesomely hot it was.
The story centers around Emmy an assistant at a modeling agency that travels with the very swoon worthy panty-dropping models to beautiful locations. There is this one model in particular named Ben, who you can say is known around the block. Well Emmy no matter how hot he is to her, makes a pact with herself to not get physically involved with Ben. Ladies if a super hot male model is hitting on you at all cost, how much of a wall do you really think you can hold against his charms, I know I wouldn't last 5 minutes. Well Emmy does fight it, but this is one fight she never had won to begin with.
Get ready to be swooped off to the most romantics cities in the world and be treated to a delicious story where not normal is the new normal. This story is meant for mature adults due to the content. There is a scene that is really extreme that no minor should be reading. Plus why would the young want to be reading about grown up drama anyways because its not just romance you are getting, there is drama and plenty of it. You got plenty of time for that later in life, trust me. So with that said I highly and I mean highly recommend for those adventurous readers that like the unusually romantic novel, and when I say unusually because this doesn't happen in real life. But that's why we read these books, to forget about everyday crap and be wisp away in these fictional characters hot love lives.
Can't wait to see what the sequel Craving Him will bring. Just the title alone makes me crave it, lol.

Sounds like an amazing story! I hadn't heard anything about this book so now I'm excited to add it to my wishlist, especially since you said it was steamy. Every girl should add some steamy reads to her list from time to time. :)
