Behind the Lens by Heather Dahlgren
5.0
I have received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was my first book by Heather. To be honest when I started reading it, I didn't expect anything. It was well after midnight when I started it.... and straight away I was pulled in. The writing style of the author was just amazing. I loved it from the first paragraph.
In the book we meet Kallie (I love this name, is so unique!), when she is 8 and is taking a picture of a ladybug. I thought it's adorable. I loved her connection she had with her mum and brother. Few years pass and we meet Heather in present time, when she is a successful photographer and owns her own studio. Over the years, Kallie has strictly stayed true to her most important rule: DO NOT DATE YOUR MODELS. She didn't have any problems with it. Until she meets Jax Burke. He is kind, handsome and hot as sin. And also unavailable to her as he is her new model. The chemistry between them is instant. They can't deny it, but only Jax is willing to act on it. Kallie, being professional, straight away is telling him, that she is not dating models. So Jax is doing only thing that will keep her next to him: agrees to be her friend. And they are best friends quickly. But when lust, passion and feeling are involved, friendship is quickly not enough. After few months of being friends, they decide to take a chance and start dating. And of course Kallie's worst nightmare comes true. And their feelings are tested.
This book is amazing. Sexy, making you hot and wet in all the right places.
Kallie is a strong, level headed heroine, that simply knows what she wants. And now? Now she is living her dream, but is she able to risk everything she has and possibly have in the future for a one guy that makes her heart flutter?
Jax... oh my...hot as sin...totally lickable...there is nothing not to love about him. He is one piece of fine man. If I could I would transport him to my bedroom right now (shhh, don't tell my hubby ;) ). He is sweet, loves what he is doing and is responsible. He is able to cut his way of living to pursue Kallie. He knows she is worth all the fight. So he is being patient.
Heather amazingly describes the life of a model. Of all the challenges they have. Fighting for privacy, to b recognized and how to divide personal and business life and still stay true to yourself.
Except the main characters, I loved the supporting characters that are there: Max, Brin, Brody, Braden and Blake. They all have a story to tell and I hope Heather will tell us all of them.
Amazing, strong and hot as hell, 5 stars!
