I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Lily Bishop has her life planned out. Working as an ad exec after she quite mid way thru a degree for her MFA (Master of Fine Arts) in photography she is determined to prove that she has what is needed to succeed. She is poised and always in control. While on a bike ride home after a horrible day at work she crashes her bike (quite literally) into Raine Reyes hot rod car. At the time she doesn't know what is more beautiful.... his car or him. Raine doesn't know what to think of the blond 40 something bombshell. He is attracted but worries that Lily won't think he's good enough for her and her lifestyle. After all he is a mere mechanic.When pictures Lily took of Raine fall into the wrong hands he is suddenly being looked at as the next model of her big advertising campaign. Not really comfortable with the offer he agrees, only for her, as long as she agrees to be the one to photograph him. Lily finds herself confused about her "relationship" with Raine. He wants more but she believes he is too young for her at the age of 24.Raine is flirty, sweet, sexy, and mature for his tender years. While at the beginning of the book I also had misgivings about the apparent age difference I was impressed on how he handled most of the situations that came up. I have to admit the whole him, Lily, and Fitz scene left me going WHAT?! But it was definitely hot!Lily was a little harder for me to gage. I expected a woman of her age to know herself and what she wanted more. Guess she just needed that extra push from someone who really cared to make her see what was already in front of her.It was a quick, fun, read.
