I was really pleasantly surprised by this book. I'm a fan of the Entangled brand including the Indulgence lines. I know I'm not going to get a bad book when I read them, but this book really surprised me in a good way.The book starts out in the male perspective of Blake, the image consultant hell bent on purchasing an L.A. PR firm to add to his empire. He's been told his purchase hinges on whether or not he can fix a Martha Stewart type celebrity chef/homemaker's image.The person needing an image fix is Kirin. She's stuck in an image created by her late husband and feels that any type of change is a betrayal to him and their fans. She's tired of being guided by the men in her life and wants to handle the problem on her own.What I found so surprising was the inner workings of the characters. It was almost as though there was a role reversal. Kirin had the image mentality of the typical male in these novels, and Blake the female. Blake was in no way feminine but his knowledge and beliefs were more in tune with what the typical female would have. It made the book less predictable. He also seemed to acknowledge his feelings first. It was nice to not know what they were going to do next. Because of that I would totally recommend it.The only thing I would have liked more of was the Trent situation. He disappeared off the planet so quickly and I would have liked more info/action considering how much it was referenced.**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
