Resumen del Editor

I should know better than to trust a bunch of pretty faces.

The charmer: killing me with his hot Irish accent.

The rebel: giving his rich family the middle finger.

The single dad: raising his baby alone.

The nerd: always with his nose stuck in a book.

But when these four gorgeous men walk off the runway and into my life, I find it's not just the hours and lousy pay in fashion that are, um, hard. And what do these guys have in common? Me.

Contains mature themes.

The heroine: Keeley - she is a junior designer, working for an important New York fashion designer. She was the one who really made their show work at New York Fashion week, working behind the scenes doing all the crap jobs to make sure things ran smoothly. She was dejected after the show when her boss Forrest gives credit for one of the main design choices on the male line to her friend and co-worker when it was her design. Her friend stole the design, took credit and her boss didn’t believe her when she tried to tell him about it. She used to love her job but suddenly was not happy to be there anymore.

The Heroes: Cross - he is a male model and a single parent of a 2-year-old son Joey. His wife died when the baby was just 2 months old. He also writes mystery novels in his spare time.
Marlen - he is a male model and and the son of an NFL team owner who isn’t too happy about his son wearing makeup and walking runways for a living.
Shane - he is a male model from Ireland and works at a community center for inner city youth.
Rand - he is a male model and goes to city college in his free time. He was the first in his family to go to college and just loves it all.

The Story: The four male models are all attracted to Keeley when they walk in Forrest’s show and appreciate how much work she put into the show. The guys have all shared a girlfriend in the past and are interested in doing that again with Keeley. So, when Cross has to return to do a photo shoot of the line, he asks Keeley out. She is a bit wary, since he is a hunky male model that gets asked out by hot female models, though her friend Fontine tells Keeley that she should know how beautiful she is.

I liked this one and all the characters. I really liked the fact that all the guys were friends and had shared a woman in the past. It seems so unbelievable to me in the reverse harem trope when the men don’t know each other at the beginning of the book and all of them just end up ok with the fact that they are all dating the same woman, and on top of that they want to keep doing it.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Jillian Macie and Tristan Jame. Tristan is great at using different voices for different characters, but I have to admit that his Irish accent needs a bit of work. Jillian has a voice I really like and shows her emotions through her voice in a way that makes it so enjoyable.

bad narration

The story is decent, but the male narrative ruined it for me. If there is bad acting through narrating.

all 5 are the same waste of time

The story is good. The fact that it's the same on all 5 books was very disappointing. I mean in all 5 books, there was the same exact line. "did I just say love"? uhggg. And why does there have to be a damsel in distress that threatens to leave them then BAM the guys offer her a deal she can't refuse. I'm so glad I didn't have to pay for these books.
