Review: Interesting inside look at fashion industry w/obligatory romance . . .
Rating: 3 out of 5

This romance moves very fast -- a little unbelievably fast for me, but the look behind the scenes at the fashion industry was interesting enough to keep me turning the pages (e-pages, that is). Models & Lovers details how designers, photographers, bookers, and models work together and some of the pressures they face.I especially liked that Balerie's work ethic was driven by commitment and competence, a nice role model for women, despite her secret. Tommy's professional persona was much less believable. Feared by his employees, cold and demanding Tommy is yet an aficionado of tango, designer shoes, and his newest employee.The many typos throughout were distracting. Hard for this reader to stay hooked in the story when an emotionally intense scene used "fillings" instead of "feelings." I also wished the writer had developed the story further: key events moved along very fast from 'first meet' to declarations of love and marriage, though I give a strong plus for both characters including a 'safe sex' message and a willingness to consult a psychiatrist!
