Ratings and reviews

This novel gets off to a very emotional beginning that sets the tone for the novel as a whole. It also lets you get to know the hero quite well and quite quickly. Hayward’s eloquent prose combines with an intricate plot in a way that pulls you in to this fantastic world. The contrast between the struggles of high end business and explosive chemistry was fully captivating. I found myself laughing out loud at the absolute outrageousness of the characters at times. It was priceless. Their parallel desires yet conflicting understandings of the world around them lead to a great many interesting moments. I really felt the character and the madness that infused their lives throughout the high fashion season. It made them very easy to connect with. These are the type of characters that you pray for a HEA for. I had so much fun with this novel! I devoured it paged by page, word by word, in a single sitting. I can’t wait to see what Hayward comes up with next. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
