My Review:Casey has been working at the Mirage Agency for three months and she has spent much of that time lusting after one of their very high-profile clients, Andre Levine. The issue is that Casey is shy and introverted and doesn't have very much self-confidence. She doesn't think that she has a chance with this international playboy, but she just hasn't been paying attention to the steamy looks that he's been sending her way.I really loved Casey's character. She was such a normal person. She's very quiet and introverted, but really smart with a great intuition for the advertising business. Even as quiet as she is, her ideas have already been noticed and recognized at the advertising agency where she works. Everything about her seemed real which was a huge contrast to Andre's character, which was so much larger than real life.Andre is an Italian fashion designer. He is a direct descendent from the deposed Italian monarchy and has been raised at the very pinnacle of society. He doesn't have to work, but chooses to because he loves what he's doing and gets satisfaction from that. He's polished. He's urbane. He's completely sophisticated. Oh, and he's Italian so he has a fabulous accent. What's not to love?I loved how both of these characters are pretty ignorant to the other's matching lust. They are both so aware of each other, but not the very basic of that awareness. Andre is completely distracted when he is at the agency and even away from it although he is working on one of the biggest projects of his life. Casey is a blundering mess...constantly dropping and bumping into things when Andre is around. It's very sweet and endearing.This book was simply fun and sexy. It had a great cast of characters from Andre & Casey to Law & Anya (maybe a future book here???) It was a lot of fun to see Andre and Casey dance around each other and finally give into their sexual chemistry. The advertising agency continues to be a fun setting and I am enjoying the story lines that Minx is creating here.
