Synopsis 

I’ve always wanted to be a fashion designer, and my dream came true. I moved from my small town to NYC, then to Milan, Rome, and Paris.


I’m totally on fire, but there is one thing: I’m alone.


Alone until grumpy, commanding Troy Remington saves me. Firstly, from the crazy super yacht party in the South of France. Secondly, from being kidnapped after said party, and thirdly, from being a lone, burnt-out workaholic for the rest of my life.


After spectacular dates and weekend getaways, from Lake Como in Italy to the Remington family vineyard in Napa Valley and to a private island in Greece, I quit working for the top fashion label in Europe.


I return to NYC and move into the movie mogul and CEO’s ocean-side Hampton mansion. That’s when things go from perfect to complicated.


As the Remington family’s movie studio comes under attack, my NYC fashion label blossoms.


It becomes impossible to focus on giving the world all I have in fashion. I am distracted...


Distracted with Troy Remington in my mind, in my heart, and inside every part of me.


My Review


I received this book in return for an honest review. 


Zara and Troy end up at the same party on a big yacht neither is looking for anything but the instant spark is evident as they decide to leave the party. What starts is a long distance of seeing each other here and there quickly grows into a love worth fighting for. I loved Zara that she was willing to do whatever it takes to succeed at being a fashion designer. I think she's just what Troy needed because he was so drawn into work and taking care of the family he almost lost out on it all. 


I was hooked right from the start with Zara and Troy's story it has just the right amount of spice to story and I spent the whole time cheering them on as they both tried to make things work. I like that they aren't perfect it made them feel real and I really felt like I was able to connect with both of them. 


This is the second book and the series and while I loved the first this ones ending was chef's kiss. I loved how it all played out. It's a real imperfect romance which makes it perfect. I love when characters have flaws but I think that's what makes them more enjoyable. I devoured this in just one reading session it was hard to put down because I wanted to get my HEA. The author did another beautiful job creating a captivating story with characters for me to fall in love with. My only complaint is I didn't get to see Zara's fashion show, I bet that would have been amazing. I loved it and can't wait to read the next one.
