| THE MODEL MAN Cover blurb: Single mom and romance novelist Kelly Michaels has no time for a man in her life. But when mega-famous cover model Derek Calavicci puts the moves on her at a romance writers’ conference, she succumbs to temptation. Common sense prevails, however, and after a few passionate kisses she turns him down; she has impressionable teenagers at home, after all, she doesn’t need a one-night-stand with a much younger man, no matter how hot he is.

Derek rarely hears a woman say “no”-- it’s been that way his entire life. If Kelly isn’t interested, he’s not going to push her--even if she does melt like ice cream on a hot sidewalk every time he touches her. But when an unexpected opportunity falls into his lap by way of Kelly’s scheming agent, he jumps at the chance. Pretend he’s in love with Kelly Michaels for two weeks? No problem. After all, the lady may say she’s never going to sleep with him... but he's got two weeks to convince her otherwise. What they're saying about "The Model Man" SRR GRADE: A+ "The Model Man" was a very smooth read. Nicole McCaffrey told the story of the interesting life of an erotic romance novel and cover model. Kelly--strong-willed, very protective of her kids, proud of her writing, but not very confident when it comes to her attractiveness to the opposite sex. Derek--confidence oozes out of every pore. He is in control of every part of his life except for the nightmare he witnessed almost 7 years ago that still haunts him. Their sexual near misses are more than made up for when they finally share a night of passion. Together, they become the tag team that will get Kelly through tough times with her teen-aged daughter and ex-husband and help Derek manage his manager and very Italian family. "The Model Man" was funny, compassionate, heart wrenching, and down right sexy. It was a great reminder that my favorite writers and cover models are human too. |
